Information Card
The USR4504 1G Variable 4 Port Aggregator & Regenerator can either be used to aggregate multiple copies of traffic together for a single
monitoring tool or duplicate traffic for multiple monitoring tools. In our example below, we show the output from a tapped link being combined
with the output from a SPAN port.
Installation
The ports on the USR4504 are used to connect to different devices based on the position of the dip switch on the back of the unit.
1 IN 3 OUT:
In this mode, the port 1 is connected to a location on the network that is making a copy of traffic from a SPAN, Mirror, or Tap
monitoring port. Ports 2-4 generate copies of this traffic and connect to separate monitoring tools. Each tool receives a full copy of the traffic.
3 IN 1 OUT:
In this mode, the ports 1-3 are connected to locations on the network that are making copies of traffic, like SPAN, Mirror, or Tap
monitoring ports. Port 4 is connects to the monitoring tool that needs access to the aggregate traffic.
Switch Settings
A convenient switch on the back of the tap can be used to toggle between
each mode. When set to “1 IN 3 OUT”, Ports 2, 3, and 4 will transmit the
traffic being received on port 1. When the device is set to “3 IN 1 OUT”
mode, Port 4 will transmit a copy of all traffic received on ports 1, 2, and 3.
Additional features
•
The USR4504 supports dual redundant power supplies. One power
supply is provided, a second can be sourced from USR. When used
with two power supplies the device will remain powered even if one
power supply fails. It is recommended that each power supply is
connected to a separate circuit breaker to minimize the risk of power
loss.
•
The USR4504 supports passing Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) on all
network ports.
