Ml~USR Network Tap overview
- 1. www.usr.com Aggregation and Regeneration All-in-One Device Monitoring Port Solutions from USR • A network device that is placed on an Ethernet segment which can then provide a copy of that traffic for analysis with network tools like Wireshark and Snort or other monitoringproducts. • Permanent point of access to gather network intelligence • Trusted name and reputation in the industry for over 30 years • Professional support (via web, mail and telephone) • Provide a secure 24x7 point of access for network tools or for troubleshooting • Passive devices and will not be a single point of failure • Make copies of data in real-time with very little or no traffic delay • Physical layer devices and able to provide all traffic over that link for analysis • Low cost and a highly reliable way to provide data non-intrusively to network tools • Can be used to provide the physical layer traffic to other aggregationdevices complementing the collection from a SPAN or mirror port captures for improvedanalysis • Retain use of ports on network switches • Improve network performance when used with market leading packet analyzing software/hardware tools • Companies who require 24x7 monitoring capability e.g. IDS , VoIP Recording, etc. • Service organizations who may need to “plug in” to conducttroubleshooting in support of an SLA agreement, avoiding SPAN or Port Mirror configuration of a switch or router which may be tied to a configuration change policy at the customer location • ComplianceRequirements where all data needs to be captured and analyzed - combinationof tappingand SPAN/Port Mirrors • Companies looking to reduce operational expenses and mitigate risk What is a TAP?

IDS, Snort or Wireshark) Regeneration Taps or Regenerators • Duplicates traffic from a single Tap or SPAN/ Mirror port providing identical data to up to three monitoring devices (ie. IDS, Snort or Wireshark) • Provides access to the same links for system redundancy, testing and advanced monitoring • Eliminate span port contention and port mirror degradation and free up valuable ports Product Family USR4504 Aggregator/Regenerator Features • Provides aggregation or regeneration options • Combine up to 3 tap or SPAN/mirror port network links into one stream • Share up to 3 identical copies of data from a tap or SPAN/Mirror port to multiple tools • Separation of Duty - use switch for switching traffic, a tap for initial aggregation and the USR4504 for multiple monitoring applications • Decrease reliance on switch resources for increased network management visibility USR4503 Aggregation Tap Features • Supports both Full duplex and half duplex • Replication when in Aggregation mode - allows two separate monitoring devices to receive the same bidirectional data from the link • Passive - traffic will continue to flow over the network in the event of a loss of power without a delay • Invisible - both tap and attached monitors are not visible on the network • Power over Etherent - allows power to flow between network ports (useful when tapping a link with an IP phone) USR4515LC/4516LC Fiber Tap Features • Non-powered devices - optically split the light signal so no risk of an outage on the link • Passive by nature - undetectable on a network and will always transmit 100% of traffic • Installation incurs minimal network latency <10ns. • Supports 1G and 10G speeds • Available in 9 or 50 micron fiber diameters • LC Connectors Product Media Type Speed Inline Aggregation Regeneration Passive* (Doesn’t Break Link) Network Ports Monitor Ports Port Types Pass Errors Pass PoE Price USR4503 Copper 10/100/1000 • • • Agg Mode • 2 2 Full Duplex Connections or 2 Half duplex links RJ45 • • $725 USR4504 Copper 10/100/1000 NO • 3:1 Mode • 1:3 Mode • 3 (3:1 mode) or 1 (1:3 mode) 1 (3:1 mode) or 3 (1:3 mode) RJ45 • • $725 USR4515LC Fiber 10 Gig SR OC3 OC48 • NO NO • 2 Tx/Rx pairs 1 Rx Pair 50um LC 50/50 split • n/a $535 USR4516LC Fiber 10 Gig LR OC3 OC48 • NO NO • 2 Tx/Rx pairs 1 Rx Pair 9um LC 50/50 split • n/a $535
