Primary-Secondary Tap Mode
In this mode, the network and primary inline appliance ports are defined by the system for each tap.
The secondary inline appliance ports will be automatically configured by the system in the order
assigned to each tap. The ports availability are considered in vertical pairs, 17/18, 19/20, etc. Any port
that is not assigned as a secondary inline appliance port may be configured as packet broker port or tap
monitor port. All four taps may be configured independently in this mode. 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.
