Tenable Channel

Configure the TX Agent

  1. Click the Waterfall Configuration icon to open the Waterfall Configuration tool.

  2. Under the Stream section in the navigation tree on the left, choose the Ethernet Spoofing channel.

  3. Copy the Channel name: the same name must match on both TX and RX Agents.

  4. Under Adapter, from the Name drop-down menu, select the Network NIC.

    Note: This assumes the Network NICs have been assigned a valid IP for both the TX and RX hosts. This is normally configured during the initial Waterfall installation.
