Primary-Secondary Tap Mode
The network, primary inline appliance and secondary inline appliance ports are defined by the system
for each tap. The network ports are typically connected to network devices such as a server or router. The
primary inline appliance ports are typically connected to a primary inline appliance or tool to monitor
the network traffic. The secondary inline appliance ports are typically connected to a secondary inline
appliance or tool to monitor the network traffic. The network traffic is sent to the primary inline appliance
or the secondary inline appliance. Heartbeat packets are transmitted bidirectionally from the primary
inline appliance ports on the tap through the primary inline appliance or tool to monitor the health of the
device. Likewise, heartbeat packets are transmitted bidirectionally from the secondary inline appliance
ports on the tap through the secondary inline appliance or tool to monitor the health of the device. Ports
5 through 36 may be configured as packet broker ports.
