Inline Bypass TAP Threat Prevention your Virtual or Physical
Network and Cloud Out of Band
TAP(Test Access Point), also known as the divider, is a more popular network data
acquisition method, can provide a comprehensive visual network data
flow, the full speed of two-way session accurate monitoring, and no
packet loss and delay.The emergence of Tap is a huge revolution in
the whole field of network monitoring/monitoring. It fundamentally
changes the access way of monitoring and analysis system and makes
the whole monitoring system have a complete and flexible solution.
Current technological developments have created a variety of taps,
including regeneration Tap which can aggregate multiple links,
bypass Tap, matrix Tap switch and so on.
The advantage of the Network TAP| 1 | Capture 100% of the packet, no packet loss. |
| 2 | Irregular data packets can be detected to facilitate
troubleshooting. |
| 3 | accurate timestamp, no delay and reset. |
| 4 | Once installation, the analyzer can be easily accessed and moved. |
Easy to Operate
The device is fixed with 1 In-line IN/OUT port, 2 one-way traffic
flow monitoring ports (TX/RX respectively), and 1 traffic flow
aggregation monitoring port. The installation can be completed
according to the port panel, without any jumper or other
complicated configuration.
Status monitoring.The device has 1 system status indicator, 1 power
indicator, Link rate status indicator and LinkActivity data
activity indicator on each port, which can clearly indicate the
current working state of the system.
Network TAP the Disadvantage
1. Extra cost to purchase TAP, which is very expensive and occupies
rack space
2. Only one link can be viewed at a time.
Typical use of TAP
1. Business links: these links require extremely short
troubleshooting time. Install the upper shunt TAP in these links,
and network engineers can quickly find and eliminate unexpected
problems.
2. Core or backbone links.They have high bandwidth utilization, and
can not break the link when accessing the mobile analyzer.TAP
ensures 100% data capture without packet loss, providing
performance assurance for accurate analysis of these links.
3. VoIP and QoS: accurate jitter and packet loss rate measurement
is required for VoIP quality of service test.TAP fully guarantees
these tests, but the mirror port changes the jitter value and
provides an unrealistic loss rate.
4. Troubleshooting: ensure that irregular data packets and wrong
data packets can be detected.The mirror port filters out all of
these packets, so it does not provide the engineer with important
and complete data information for troubleshooting.
IDS application: IDS relies on complete data information to
identify intrusion patterns, TAP can provide reliable and complete
data flow to intrusion detection system.
6. Server cluster: multi-port divider can connect 8/12 links at the
same time, which can realize remote free switch, convenient for
monitoring and analysis at any time.
Data Aggregation Application as following (I type)
NT-iTAP-5GS/I is a smart gigabit Ethernet NetTAP traffic replication/aggregator
developed to meet the growing demand for listening on secure bypass
devices. NT-iTAP-5GS/I can support online deployment to gigabit Ethernet links, and
perform data separation monitoring and two-way data aggregation
monitoring.It can flexibly meet the deployment requirements of
various bypass listening devices.
SPAN(Switch Port Analysis) is also known as mirror Port. Advanced switches can copy packets
from one or more ports to a specified Port, which is called "mirror
Port" or "destination Port". Analyzer can receive data from the
mirror Port.However, this feature can affect the performance of the
switch and cause packet loss when the data is overloaded.
NT-iTAP-5GS/I using ASIC chip pure hardware line speed Ethernet traffic, even if
all ports used wire speed, at the same time can achieve no packet
loss, effectively make your intrusion detection, defense system,
security audit system, protocol analyzer, RMON probes and other
safety bypass deployment device can complete data flow monitoring,
better ensure the safety of your network.
NT-iTAP-5GS/I has flexible TX/RX flow replication or mixing aggregation
capabilities.The device can not only separate the output two TX and
RX flows, to ensure that the two-way flow under the full duplex 1G
link is fully monitored;The TX/RX traffic can also be mixed to meet
the requirement of monitoring two-way data traffic when some
listening devices only have a single listening port.
NT-iTAP-5GS/I adopts intelligent BYPASS technology, which can timely detect and
timely report the failure of port link to the uplink port in case
of failure of downlink port link, and intelligently close the
uplink port link so that the uplink port of SW1 can timely perceive
the failure of interconnect port of SW3.It can quickly enable
redundant equipment and routing mechanism to achieve the fast
switching of traffic, effectively shorten the recovery time of
network failure and enhance the reliability of the network.
Bypass Switch Bypass TAP Technical Characteristics
SpecFlow/FullLink Protection
The NetTAP® "Inline Bypass TAP Threat Prevention your Virtual or
Physical Network and Cloud Out of Band" supports serial protection
for complete link traffic and a serial protection mode for a
specific traffic type. Users can choose the appropriate deployment
mode according to the deployment requirements of different security
devices.
FullLink protection mode. In this mode, the Policy Traffic Traction
Protector forwards all traffic from the deployed link to the
security device and performs real-time monitoring of the state of
the security device. If the status of the security device is
abnormal, the protector will automatically switch to the bypass
state ensures network availability.
SepcFlow protection mode. In this mode, the Policy Traffic Traction
Protector forwards some of the user-specified traffic types in the
deployment link to the security device for processing. The
remaining traffic is automatically bypassed without passing through
the security device. While the protector on the state of the safety
device to perform real-time monitoring, once the safety device
status is abnormal, the protector will automatically switch to
bypass state to ensure the availability of the network.
