Chapter 4 Aggregator TAPs 42
rev. 1
Major features
An Aggregator TAPs provides a full-duplex pass through link for the
connection being monitored. The TAP integrates both sides of the
full-duplex link and sends the copied data out simplex (send only)
ports to two analyzers. The Aggregator TAPs also provide a buffer
(256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB) to protect against the packet loss that
could otherwise result from traffic spikes where more data enters the
TAP from the network than can be sent to the analyzer. These are the
Aggregator TAPs:

Copper Aggregator TAP
The major features of the Black Box TAPs are:

Passive access at 10/100/1000 Mbps without packet
tampering or introducing a single point of failure

No packet loss if the TAP loses power

Automatic link failover for devices that have an alternate path

Allows you to connect and disconnect the analysis device as
needed without taking the network down

Optional redundant power ensures maximum monitoring
uptime

All traffic (including errors) is passed from all OSI layers for
troubleshooting

Enhanced security because the TAP does not require or use an
IP address, which makes it, and the analyzer connected to it,
impervious to viruses and other attacks

LEDs show power and link status

Optional 19-inch rack frames hold up to 3 TAPs

Front-mounted connectors make installation simple

Fully IEEE 802.3 compliant

Fully RoHS compliant
