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.

G-TAP M Series TAP Module Specifications

There are three types of G-TAP M Series modules:
