UniversalTAP: 1G Modular Aggregator
Visibility starts with the packet. A network TAP (test access point) is a hardware device that allows you to access and monitor your network traffic by copying packets without impacting or compromising network integrity.
The UniversalTAP: 1G Modular Aggregator are purpose-built network TAPs that support aggregation, TAP ‘breakout,’ bypass and regeneration/SPAN modes guaranteeing your tools see every bit, byte, and packet.®
AggregatorTAPs are used to capture 100% full duplex traffic that can then be sent to multiple monitoring appliances or down to one monitoring port to analyze your network.










Key Features
-
Provide 100% full duplex traffic visibility
- Aggregate traffic down to one link
- Unidirectional Data Diode design
-
Supports aggregation, TAP ‘breakout,’ bypass and regeneration/SPAN modes
- Supports link failure propagation (LFP).
-
Supports jumbo frames
- Passive failsafe
Additional
- Scalable Modular TAPs System:
- 2U holds up to 12 TAPs - backplane filtering within TAP row.
- 1U holds up to 4 TAPs - backplane filtering between TAPs and port.
- Management and Non-Management Options:
- Simple easy to use GUI management
- Non-management chassis available; (management card can be added at later date).
- Dual internal AC or DC power supplies.
- 100% secure and invisible; no IP address, no Mac address; cannot be hacked
- Made, tested and supported in USA
