Connecting the Xgig Analyzer to a Target System
6
Xgig Analyzer User’s Guide
With the point-to-point connection, the Xgig is placed in a series, between the source and
destination. If the analyzer is configured for analog passthrough, a small amount of jitter, with an
acceptable eye opening, is added to the signal as it passes through the analyzer. If the Xgig is
configured for digital retiming at the front end, any jitter in the incoming signal is corrected, but
idle characters may be added or dropped from the traffic.
The transmit port of a hub is active at all times. A hub port is in bypass mode until a signal is
returned to the receive connection. This property of a hub can be used to passively snoop a
network.
Connect only the transmit port of the hub to the receive port of the analyzer. The analyzer captures
the data while the hub port remains in bypass mode. With the analyzer connected to one port on
the hub, you can remove or reconnect the analyzer without disturbing the links under test.
Another alternative is the Optical Splitter Snoop or Fiber Tap. This alternative allows you to
connect or remove the analyzer without disturbing the links under test. This is valid only for Fibre
Channel or Gigabit Ethernet.
If you cannot interrupt the network and you need maximum versatility for sniffing at different
configuration points, consider using the Viavi Snoop GBIC or a Viavi Fiber Tap. This product
provides an additional pair of ports for simultaneous transparent monitoring of either Gigabit
Ethernet or Fibre Channel links without causing any link loading or down time of the system under
test.
Xgig Hardware to Xgig Analyzer Software Connection
For Xgig, the analyzer blade(s) resides in a different system from your Xgig client software. You
must have an Ethernet connection between the Xgig chassis and the system running your Xgig
client software. For Xgig1K and Xgig5K chassis, you may control the chassis using the USB
connection if it is supported by your Xgig client software.
Xgig Access Through a Firewall
In general, Xgig client software should be able to access an Xgig Chassis that lies behind a
firewall. Ports must be open as described in the following table to permit operation across a
firewall for Xgig applications:
