Passive Network Monitoring
The Ixia Flex Tap™ provide reliable continuous visibility of 100% of network traffic to support performance and security with no network performance degradation or disruption. Flex Taps are flexible and scalable, each Tap in the family is modular, can supports speeds up to 400G, and is 100 percent passive. Flex Taps are available in multimode and single mode fiber varieties with split ratios ranging from 50/50 up to 90/10. Depending on the model, the Flex Tap is available with either LC or MTP (MPO) connectors. Up to 36 taps can be deployed in a single 1U 19inch rack space. The design of the Flex Tap is optimized and tested for high-performance fiber networks ranging from 1G to 400G. Flex Taps are deployed at any inline connection on the network, therefore no additional overhead or management burden is added to the network devices to copy traffic for the monitoring/ security infrastructure. The Flex Tap is compatible with all major manufacturers’ monitoring devices, including protocol analyzers, probes, and intrusion detection systems, and is protocol agnostic.
Highlights
• Highly reliable fiber optic Tap technology
• Deploy up to 36 Taps in 1U
• Supports network speeds from 1G to 400G
• Available in multimode and single mode fiber models
• Cisco 40G/100G BiDi Tap model available
• Choice of standard size rack mount (up to 36 taps) or minichassis which is one third width - ideal for desk top or space constrained deployments
• Passes all full-duplex traffic (including errors) from all layers
• Secure+ model provides additional isolation for sensitive applications
• Non-disruptive and transparent
• 40G SR4 MTP model can be used as one 40/100G SR4 tap or 4 x 10G taps
• 100G MTP model can be used as one 100G (SR10) tap or 12 x 10G taps
• Requires no power and does not have an IP address, providing safety from remote attacks
• Black and tan LC connectors denote multimode fiber for network monitoring
• Color coded in blue and green for easy port monitoring on LC connectors in single mode fiber • 40G and 100G Multimode MTP models include monitor port Y-Cable
Key Features
• Low insertion loss – minimize impact on data flows
• Flex Tap is fully passive – monitoring infrastructure does not impact network availability
• Does not modify traffic – tools see real copies of the packets from the network
• High density – Save valuable rack real estate
• Cost effective – avoid costly expenses managing SPAN ports
