Important

• For the 10G appliance model (QPS-10G-0404-B1), the interface needs to be active before assigning an IP address to the sniffing interface.
• The Network Passive Sensor (NPS) appliance will reboot once after adding/editing/deleting the IP address of the sniffing interface.

The Network Passive Sensor (NPS) appliance version 1.3.6-12 supports assigning IP addresses on the sniffing interface. So before assigning an IP address to the sniffing interface, ensure that the NPS appliance version is 1.3.6-12 or above.
