GigaBit Copper Span Regeneration Tap
Passive monitoring access for multiple devices
Net Optics GigaBit Copper Span Regeneration Taps solve the key physical layer challenges of access to scarce spanning resources. For a complete picture of network health, these Taps connect two switch Span ports to up to eight different network management and security devices for each Span session.
Keep your intrusion detection and prevention systems, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, and other security devices productive with a single Regeneration Tap. Maximize resources and save on access points by allowing multiple devices to monitor link traffic simultaneously through a single Regeneration Tap. Secure, passive access for multiple devices simply means a better return on monitoring investments.
When a Span session is connected into the Network A port, this data can be monitored simultaneously on all Monitor A ports. A second Span session can be monitored simultaneously on all Monitor B ports. The data on the Network A and Network B ports remains completely separate. Each monitoring device receives the same traffic in real time, providing a detailed picture of network health.
Without an IP address, monitoring devices are isolated from the network, dramatically reducing their exposure to attacks.
For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Taps offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the Tap indicate the current power.
