System Requirements

MATE Release 6.0 System Requirements

MATE Collector server requirements vary, depending on whether it is being used to collect data for MATE Design or MATE Live.

Note that all servers used in the collection process must have their times synchronized in order to produce accurate traffic tables and collection log timestamps. This time should be no more than 60 seconds different from the time on any given router in the network. We strongly recommend that NTP (Network Time Protocol) be used for synchronizing times on all servers used in the collection process.

Please contact your Cisco representative if you have questions.
