Identifying the Sensing Interfaces
Chapter 3
The quad-port 10GBASE fiber non-bypass configuration uses LC-type (Local
Connector) optical transceivers with either MMSR or SMLR interfaces.
WARNING!
The quad-port 10G BASE non-bypass NetMod contains
non-removable small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers. Any attempt to
remove the SFPs can damage the module.
You can use these connections to passively monitor up to four separate network
segments. You also can use paired interfaces in inline configuration on up to two
network segments.
TIP!
For best performance, use the interface sets consecutively. If you skip
interfaces, you may experience degraded performance.
8000 Series Stacking Module
A stacking module combines the resources of two or more identically configured
appliances. The stacking module is optional on the 3D8140 and 3D8250, and is
provided in the 3D8260/8270/8290 stacked configurations.
The stacking module allows you to combine the resources of two devices, using
one as the primary device and one as the secondary. Only the primary device has
sensing interfaces.
•
The 3D8140 and 3D8250 can be delivered with the stacking module.
•
The 3D8260 is delivered with one stacking module in the primary device
and one stacking module in the secondary device.
•
The 3D8270 is delivered with two stacking modules in the primary device
and one stacking module in each of the two secondary devices.
•
The 3D8290 is delivered with three stacking modules in the primary device,
and one stacking module in each of the three secondary devices.
