10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 1 Introduction Net Optics 10/100 Dual Port Aggregator T aps with Active Response provide ultra-efcient access to critical links with the option to inject an active re - sponse into the network. This pioneering technology enables any two devices to simultaneously monitor a full-duplex link - using only one NIC per devi[...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 2 Simple to Deploy Net Optics’ Dual Port Aggregator T ap with Active Response is a simple plug- and-play solution addressing the fact that many monitoring systems, including most software based solutions, only offer a single channel NIC, limiting full- duplex visibility . While adding a second NIC can help maintain dat[...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 3 K ey Fea tur es Passive, Secure T echnology Supports full-duplex monitoring with a single NIC, increasing monitoring efciency Regeneration T ap technology enables two devices to simultaneously moni- tor all aggregated trafc – using only one NIC per device One megabyte of memory for each side of the full-duplex [...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 4 Unpacking and Inspection Carefully unpack the 10/100 Port Aggregator T ap w/Active Response and check for damaged or missing parts. The T ap ships with the following: 10/100 Port Aggregator T ap w/Active Response T wo power supplies T wo network cables One or two monitor cables Installation Guide Y ou may have also ord[...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 5 Figure 3: Rear Panel LED Indicators PWR 1/ PWR 2: Main and Redundant Power . If the T ap is deployed with both power supplies, both LEDs will illuminate when the T ap is plugged in. If an LED is off, this indicates that the corresponding power supply is not functioning. Additional Port Aggregator T ap LEDs are located [...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 6 Each using a single NIC, the monitoring devices both receive all combined traffic from Side A and Side B, including physical layer errors. State 1: Side A + Side B is less than or equal to 100% of the NIC's receive capacity. Example: On a 100 Mbps link, Side A is at 30 Mbps and Side B is at 50 Mbps. The NIC receiv[...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 7 The Tap applies a first-in, first-out process to all packets. Once the burst has ended and the NIC's utilization is again below 100 percent, the Tap first processes the packets that were stored in memory. As long as the NICʼs utilization remains below 100 percent, this process continues uninterrupted until the me[...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 8 Cabling Guidelines Use straight-through cable to connect the T ap Ports to a Router or NIC. Use cross-over cable to connect the T ap Ports to Switches and Hubs. The T ap Ports T ransmit on Pins 3 & 6 and Receive on Pins 1 & 2. Note: ________________________________________________________________ Y ou must ensu[...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 9 Connecting to the Monitoring De vice(s) 1. Supply power to the T ap using the power supplies included with the unit. T wo power supplies are included. The use of the second redundant power supply is optional. Note: ________________________________________________________________ The second power supply is available to [...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 10 DIP Switch Settings Switch Function Description 1 T urns Auto-negotiation ON or OFF . Factory default setting is Auto-negotiation. If turned ON, ports A, B, and C/D automatically negotiate the links. Positions 2 thru 8 are inac- tive. T o manually congure ports A, B, and C/D, turn switch to the OFF position. Positi[...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 1 1 Activ e Response T ap F AQs Q: What types of active r esponses are supported? A: W ith an Active Response Dual Port Aggregator T ap, an administrator can transmit any type of Ethernet packet back into the original link, supporting all common types of active responses generated by intrusion detection systems, and by i[...]

10/100 Port Aggregator T ap 12 Activ e Response T ap F AQs (Continued) Q: How much bandwidth is available on the Active Response Port? A: The average amount of bandwidth for active responses is determined by the average available capacity on the link. For example, on a 100 Mbps full- duplex link, if transmission from device A to device B averages 3[...]
