NetOptics 2xN GigaBit In-Line Matrix Switch
By: NetOptics 2xN GigaBit In-Line Matrix Switch
Net Optics 2xN GigaBit In-Line Matrix Switches enhance LAN visibility by providing access across multiple GigaBit 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. 2x16 port densities are available.
Monitoring Control
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.
Security and Visibility
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.
Reliability
For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Matrix Switches offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the SpyderSwitch automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the SpyderSwitch indicate the current power source.
