Description:
Scalable, flexible, powerful, and compact, the SINGLEstream SS-G6C4C4S Multi-Link Copper Tap is a compact and flexible solution for tapping, aggregating, and distributing data from multiple sources to respective monitoring tools. It features a multi-link tap capable of tapping 6 copper 10/100/1000 links. The SFP+ ports can be used as 10G copper or fiber connections and can serve as additional monitor ports, supporting DAC (Direct Attach Cables).
Data Filtering:
Aggregation poses the risk of oversubscription and potential packet loss, even with 1G sources sent to 10G tools. Hardware-based L2 to L4 filtering allows users to selectively filter specific traffic, including IPv4/v6 addresses, MAC addresses, VLANs, Ethertype, and subnets.
Aggregation and Replication:
The any-to-any functionality enables aggregation to individual tools as well as replication to multiple tools. Each monitor port can function as an input or output. The 10G connections minimize the risk of packet loss between systems when using a mesh configuration.
Load Balancing:
Session-based load balancing allows multiple ingress ports to be evenly distributed across multiple egress ports. In the event of a tool capture NIC failure, traffic is automatically redistributed to the remaining egress ports.
Related Products:
This product is also available as the SS-G4C4S model - a 4-link tap with 12 monitor ports, or as the SS-G8C4S model - an 8-link tap with 4 monitor ports. Other solutions based on this model include a network packet broker with 20 ports, as well as single, dual, and quad-link bypass switches for inline tool protection.
sFlow Support:
An sFlow agent can be configured on the SS-G6C4C4S. This agent samples network traffic and generates sFlow datagrams, which are then forwarded to an sFlow collector at another location on the network. The collector can send the data to an sFlow analyzer. Acting as a central node through which data from multiple connections pass, the SS-G6C4C4S is an optimal point for enabling the sFlow agent to send sFlow datagrams from multiple network devices to the collector.
Optional IPFIX Support:
The SINGLEstream SS-G6C4C4S can function as an IPFIX monitoring point, using IPFIX metering processes to collect data packets, optionally filter them, and gather aggregated information about these packets. It also operates as an IPFIX exporter, contributing to a monitoring domain with other monitoring points. This information is then sent to an IPFIX collector via the IPFIX protocol.
Optimized Tool Deployment:
Deploy tools instantly without impacting your production network. Simultaneously monitor multiple network connections for more efficient use of monitoring tools.
Flexible High-Density Design:
Thanks to its flexible mesh design, nearly unlimited devices can be deployed as a single logical unit with high port density. Save space, consolidate monitoring tools, and reduce costs.
Scale Your Monitoring Solutions Like Never Before:
Securing and monitoring your network has never been more critical. Visibility and data collection infrastructure play a crucial role in enabling access and management of network traffic from various points, optimizing the performance of monitoring, security, and analysis tools.
Datacom Systems' advanced visibility solutions help you take control of your network, eliminate blind spots, and reduce network downtime.
The SINGLEstream High Density Aggregation TAP systems offer a practical high-density solution for data aggregation, replication, filtering, and load balancing, rationalizing critical data functions while optimizing existing infrastructure and port utilization.
