VERIFICATION OF CONFIGURATION

Verification can be done either from CCE Server or from UI.

Using UI

STEP 1: Login to UI >> SYSTEM

STEP 2: >> LOGS AND FLOWS COLLECTION STATUS .

STEP 3: >>Inside SOURCE DEVICE IP, IP will reflect.

Using CCE SERVER

“sudo tcpdump -i any host 5154 and host <IP address> -AAA” command should be ran on CCE server to check wheather or not we are getting logs .
