Getting started with remote packet capture and traffic analysis

To get started using Paragon Active Assurance for traffic analysis (RPCAP), please follow these simple steps.

Download a Test Agent

In this step we will download, install, and configure a Test Agent.

• Under Test Agents in the Paragon Active Assurance user interface, click the Download button.

• Download the desired type of Test Agent.

• Follow the installation instructions for Test Agents given here.

By default, once connected and powered up, all Test Agents will communicate directly with the Paragon Active Assurance server over an encrypted connection:

• In the cloud server case, to https://login.paa.juniper.net using:

  • Test Agent Appliance: TCP port 443

  • Test Agent Application: TCP port 6800

• In the on-premise server case, to the host IP using TCP port 6000 (default, configurable).

Perform your first remote packet capture

Once the Test Agent has connected to your Paragon Active Assurance account, it will show up in the Test Agents view. Read more here on how to perform your first remote packet capture.
