NFA Flash Pages to NetOps Portal Plan

Products

• CA Network Flow Analysis (NetQos / NFA)

Issue/Introduction

Network Flow Analysis Update:

As of January 1st, 2021 Flash will be EOS (End of Support). Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla will be removing the plugin from their browsers. It is vital to upgrade to NetOps 20.2.5 (at minimum) and Network Flow Analysis 10.0.5 (at minimum) to retain as much administrative function (previous Flash pages) as possible.

Please note NFA releases are bi-monthly, while NetOps Portal is monthly.
