Description

The 8x8 10 GigE Distributed Tap is a highly flexible, intelligent traffic capture device for 10GigE networks.

The device features eight LC ports and eight XFP ports. Each XFP port ships with an XFP module. All ports are configurable as either SPAN (unidirectional) inputs or monitor outputs. As an option, the LC ports can be ordered as inline tap ports for passive network access. With the inline build, the XFP ports remain Input/Output configurable.

This device can be locally managed via a serial console and remotely managed via Telnet, HTTP, HTTPS, SNMPv3 and RMON. A filter option enables users to select, at the packet level, what traffic is forwarded to the designated monitor ports. Hardware-Based Filtering allows traffic to be distinguished according to source and destination MAC/IP address as well as by specific protocols, such as HTTP, VoIP, and others. A custom filter offers more granular specification of a filter, specifically within the payload of a packet.

Session-Aware Load Balancing increases user control of traffic distribution to monitoring tools, increasing output capacity while maintaining session integrity. For example, a 10 GigE network can be captured and automatically balanced across multiple Gigabit monitor tools based on user-defined session criteria. Session-Aware Load Balancing can operate in tandem with Hardware-Based Filtering or independently.

All 10 GigE Distributed Taps also support VSS' proprietary intelligent stacking technology, vStack+™, which enables traffic capture devices to be deployed in a redundant, low-latency mesh for total, dynamic, fault-tolerant visibility.

Redundant power supplies allow seamless transitions between power systems and ensure uptime. All VSS managed devices support field firmware updates for additional features and performance enhancements.
