Net Optics 2xN 10/100 In-Line Matrix Switches enhance LAN visibility by providing access across multiple 10/100BaseT network links for one or two distributed analyzers. The physical layer connections through the Switch eliminate the need to reconnect and reconfigure analyzers for each new monitoring task. This flexibility instantly improves ease of use and return on investment.
The 2xN Switch supports simultaneous passive monitoring of any two links connected to the Switch, each with a separate distributed analyzer. Monitored links can be selected statically, for automatic roaming, or for a custom monitoring pattern with PortRover management software.
For spot-checking and long-term monitoring, the monitored links can be set and easily changed with a simple click in the PortRover interface. When greater coverage is needed, an automatic mode continuously scans all ports, monitoring each port for a configurable time period. Network administrators can have complete control over monitoring activities by creating and saving custom monitoring patterns with PortRover management software.
Monitoring devices connected to the Matrix Switch see all full-duplex traffic as if it were in-line, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors. Since IP addresses are not required for the Switch and connected devices, they are isolated from the network, dramatically reducing their exposure to attacks.
Zero DelayTM - A Net Optics Breakthrough
Highly sensitive network locations can improve monitoring performance via the innovative features of Net Optics Taps. If power is lost to other 10/100 Taps, the connected devices may introduce delays as they detect the power loss and try to re-establish their link.
Net Optics’ pioneering design ensures that any loss of power to the Tap is transparent to the network, and does not affect the flow of traffic through the Tap – eliminating packet delay and loss as potential security issues.
Reliability
For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Switches offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Switch automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the Switch indicate the current power source.
