GigaBit Fiber Link Aggregator - (8) Gigabit Fiber Span Ports to (4) SFP Monitor Ports
 

GigaBit Fiber Link Aggregator - (8) Gigabit Fiber Span Ports to (4) SFP Monitor Ports
P/N: LA-S8SX/4SFP
Aggregate all traffic from up to eight GigaBit fiber Span ports into four GigaBit SFP transceivers for improved visibility across network switches.

Net Optics Span Link Aggregator combines all the traffic from up to eight GigaBit fiber Span ports into (4) SFP transceiver monitoring ports.  Monitor up to eight (8) switches at one time.

Installing a monitoring device on multiple network links is often time consuming and expensive. Restricted by tight budgets, security managers must make compromises that leave portions of the network exposed to attacks. The Span Link Aggregator addresses this challenge by increasing the number of Span ports monitoring devices can be attached to. The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) monitor port connectors increase monitoring options by allowing either GigaBit copper or fiber transceivers to be used.

No Packets Left Behind

The Link Aggregator scans incoming traffic from the network links on a first-in-first-out basis. Scan rate is optimized to ensure that no packets are dropped as long as the sum of data rates on the network ports does not exceed 1 GB.

SFP Flexibility
Net Optics Link Aggregator with SFP Monitor Ports provides connectivity to network links for monitoring devices with dissimilar interface cards. The SFP Monitor Ports allow the Link Aggregator to be field upgraded or reconfigured for increased flexibility. The Link Aggregator with SFP Monitor Ports requires the purchase of one or two SFP conversion kits.

Reliability

For additional reliability, the Link Aggregator features redundant power supplies. Power LEDs on the front of the Tap indicate the current power source.  In the event of a failure, traffic continues to flow between network devices.
