The 9920 Deployment Guide for software version 21.2.2.0 provides
in-depth instructions for deploying the 9920 platform as a network packet broker (NPB). It
details installation and upgrade processes using multiple protocols, including USB, NFS, HTTP,
FTP, and TFTP. Core functionalities include support for link aggregation, traffic replication,
load balancing, and advanced ACL filtering for high-performance traffic management. Additional
features include packet slicing, tunnel origination and termination for both IPv4 and IPv6, and
encapsulation stripping to optimize visibility applications. The guide also addresses the
firmware upgrade process, covering microservice updates for critical subsystems such as packet
handling and security. The deployment process relies heavily on CLI for precise configuration,
management, and troubleshooting in complex network environments.
