Net Optics 4x1 GigaBit Span Regeneration Taps solve the key physical layer challenges of access to scarce spanning resources. For a complete picture of network health, these Taps connect two switch Span ports to up to eight different network management and security devices. Each Span session can be independently monitored by up to four devices.

One Tap, No Idle Resources

Keep your intrusion detection and prevention systems, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, and other security devices productive with a single Regeneration Tap. Maximize resources and save on access points when multiple devices can monitor link traffic simultaneously through a single Regeneration Tap. Secure, passive access for multiple devices simply means a better return on monitoring investments.

Span Port Sharing

When a Span session is connected into the Network A port, this data can be monitored simultaneously on all Monitor A ports. A second Span session can be monitored simultaneously on all Monitor B ports. The data on the Network A and Network B ports remains completely separate. Each monitoring device receives the same traffic in real time, providing a detailed picture of network health.

Security and Visibility

Without an IP address, monitoring devices are isolated from the network, dramatically reducing their exposure to attacks. However, the monitoring device connected to the Tap still sees all full-duplex traffic as if it were in-line.

Reliability

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Taps offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the Tap indicate the current power.
