Use this guide to get you up and running Napatech IPUs with Napatech Link-Security™ Software. This document includes
descriptions of:
- How to install and detect a Napatech IPU in a server.
- How to program an FPGA image.
- How to install and configure Napatech Link-Security™ Software.
- How to test and verify Napatech Link-Security™ Software.
Note: The installation and configuration procedures are tested and described on Fedora
38 for illustrative purposes. It is expected that derivatives of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux-based distributions will function similarly. It should be adjusted the process
accordingly for other Linux distributions.
