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
