Multi-purpose tap for aggregation, breakout, and span/regeneration.
The USR® Gigabit Ethernet Aggregation TAP eliminates SPAN port contention, oversubscription, and configuration errors with 3 different modes, simple installation, and reliable access to your gigabit ethernet segments.
In aggregation mode this TAP faultlessly combines and processes both the TX and RX streams of data into a single data stream. Improve visibility with two monitor ports sending identical copies of full-duplex data to separate network tools (analyzer, IDS, probe) for simultaneous monitoring and analyzing.
For dual-receive tools, breakout mode is available for individual TX and RX streams.
SPAN/Regenerate mode transmits 3 copies of incoming traffic for up to 3 tools. Ideal for security applications, including link failure propagation for HA designed networks, or anywhere you need non-intrusive dedicated access to your network links for advanced or consolidated monitoring.
USR4523 features | Monitoring and analysis
- Aggregation mode allows monitoring full-duplex traffic, even with single interface monitoring tools
- Breakout mode allows monitoring full-duplex traffic with RX and TX streams on separate monitoring ports
- SPAN/Regeneration mode sends copies to multiple tools to provide access to the same links for system redundancy, testing and advanced monitoring applications
- Improved visibility into the network - including VLAN tags
- Ideal for Intrusion Detection System (IDS) applications
Aggregating data
- Monitor all network traffic from two different sources
- Improve network troubleshooting by viewing both sides of a full-duplex conversation
- Combine both directions of a full-duplex data stream in a single trace file
- Allows flexibility of monitoring devices, including the option to revert to traditional full-duplex dual channel data capture, utilizing single NIC probes for advanced monitoring or hardware reduction
Network stability
- Fault-tolerant
- Ideal for 24x7 permanent access - Deploy tools or utilize TAP ports immediately without network traffic interruptions or the need for maintenance windows
- Eliminate SPAN port contention, oversubscription, and configuration errors
- Improve overall switch performance by removing port mirror degradation while freeing valuable ports
- Link Failure propagation for High Availability designed networks ensures instant switch to the secondary link to maintain 100% uptime
