NIKSUN has been a staple in our lab for several years and has always been one of our dependable workhorses. This latest version is no exception. However, there's a lot that's new here and we were impressed immediately. The most obvious update is to the user interface. But, we're getting ahead of ourselves. When we received the appliance we installed it in our test bay. We fired it up and started through the initial configuration. Nothing. Dead on arrival. A panic call to NIKSUN support brought an engineer from the New Jersey offices to our lab in Michigan. Verdict was that the boot disk was damaged in transit. A new disk, a new OS image, and we were on the road. We finished configuration, connected it into our honeynet - the sensor port with no IP to our network tap and the management port to our internal network. Slick and quick.
