Out-of-path topologies

An Exinda Appliance connected to only one network device is considered out-of-path. By default, that implies network packets don't naturally travel through the Exinda Appliance to get to their destinations. For example, connecting an Exinda Appliance to a switch or hub on the LANLocal area network. In this case, the Exinda Appliance behaves like any other network client and requires specific protocols or modes to enable packet monitoring and inspection.
