G-TAP M Series TAP Module Specifications
This chapter describes the features and benefits, module specifications, physical dimensions and electrical characteristics ofG-TAP M Series
Features and Benefits
Feature |
Benefit |
Powerful Traffic Mirroring Capabilities |
The G-TAP M Series modules passively mirror 100% of network traffic including errors, non-standard network traffic, and network packets that do not conform to established protocol standards enabling detailed analysis, security, and monitoring. |
Completely Passive TAP |
The G-TAP M Series modules rely on passive full duplex fiber optic splitters, which results in non-point-of-failure operation. It requires no power source to operate. |
GigaVUE® Integration |
Easy integration with the full family of GigaVUE® Visibility Fabric™ nodes for maximum flexibility. Connect the G-TAP M Series modules to network ports on a GigaVUE fabric node to take advantage of powerful intelligent traffic filtering, aggregation, and modification offered through Visibility Fabric architecture. |
