A device can run in Active mode or Profile Mode.
•
Active Mode — Active operation where the device reduces data, accelerates TCP applications, and manages bandwidth.
•
Profile Mode — Passive operation where the device can calculate potential data reduction statistics for all traffic,
individual applications, and specific remote subnets. The actual traffic is not affected.
NOTE: To use Profile Mode, the device's Local interface must be connected to a mirrored port on the switch, and the Remote
interface must be disconnected. If you have installed the device inline, do not select Profile Mode as data will be dropped.
For more information about Profile Mode, refer to the Operator's Guide.
