IXIA INDIGO PRO – PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL APPLIANCE
Ixia Indigo Pro is delivered either as a physical appliance or as a virtual appliance in VMware or Oracle
Virtual Box format. As a software solution, Indigo Pro virtual appliance is available at a significantly lower
cost than the physical one. Deployment is amazingly simple too, thanks to a fast, fully automated
discovery process that can quickly identify all supported Ixia NTO, Ixia iTap/iBypass/xStream family of
products, and even third- party devices throughout the network. Indigo Pro also checks continuously for
devices being removed, or taken offline. It also checks periodically for devices newly added. A dynamic
network topology map instantly shows the “up” or “down” status of all supported devices, in addition to
custom status based on active alarms (Minor, Major, Critical, SNMP error). Click on a device object/icon
to drill down into detailed device status and configuration information, as well as the status of attached
links.

RELIABILITY AND SECURITY FEATURES
Ixia Indigo Pro offers a spectrum of new features to expand authentication support and more. Your
management and administration duties will be easier than ever, thanks to enhanced network visibility and
security, plus extended virtual support. The newly enhanced High Availability (HA) feature supports
master and slave units in complete sync with one floating IP address; allowing instant takeover by the
Slave when the master fails. Best of all, the master and slave units can be either physical or virtual or a
combination of both, enabling maximum deployment flexibility.
COMPREHENSIVE CONFIGURATION AND FAULT MANAGEMENT
Indigo Pro supports a scheduler that allows automated task execution across many devices. Common
management tasks include, for example, script and policy execution, software upgrades, configuration
import and export, and many more. More sophisticated configuration management allows you to
associate threshold-triggered events and actions. In addition, you can create or modify, for example,
filters, heartbeat, LFD, LBG, or other device-specific functions on any devices discovered by Indigo Pro.
IMPROVED DATA VISUALIZATION
Ixia Indigo Pro gathers data in real time from discovered Ixia or third-party devices, archives that data in a
database for historical trend analysis, and then presents it in rich graphical formats through a web
browser interface. Both IT and business users benefit from the efficiency, accuracy, and cost savings they
realize by employing Indigo Pro to monitor network health and trouble spots. But it doesn’t stop there:
Indigo Pro is also a vital resource for growth, capacity planning, and compliance activities.
Indigo Pro’s enriched capabilities include more visibility and presentation options, with an increased
number of charts or dashboards per user – and users can now define their own views of interest. Indigo
Pro will even remember and create a user-specific “home page” upon login to save time and offer up
relevant data faster.
Traffic statistics displayed include bandwidth utilization, byte and packet counts, errors, and jumbo
frames, all viewable on a device-by-device basis. In addition, a dashboard can be configured to
confederate the data from multiple links and devices for an at-a-glance overview of network traffic activity.
SECURITY AND USER MANAGEMENT
The Indigo Pro platform delivers a total solution to all NMS security-related issues. All user actions are
inspected and audited against a permissions profile and logged to an audit trail. The system’s security is
structured in three layers:
External authentication via RADIUS, TACACS and LDAP
Authenticated and encrypted sessions between the client web browsers and the server throughout a
user’s entire sessions
User authentication by a login session based on a user name and password
Role-based access control and device locking to ensure that a given user can perform certain
actions on specific devices with read or write permissions. These are based on a global policy that
meets the organization’s compliance standards
