PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwire - July 16, 2009) - Data Connectors -- Interface Masters
Technologies, an industry leader and innovator in networking solutions,
today announced a 10 Gigabit TAP system capable of fully monitoring the
network at 10GE speeds. The Niagara 3212 can support multiple TAP
methodologies and configurations as well as Multi-Mode fiber and
Single-Mode fiber media. The system architecture is designed for
flexibility, enabling Niagara 3212 to operate in various modes including
aggregation, packet injection, and multiple port monitoring. Additionally,
the system supports a full suite of secure management including
industry-standard management and logging tools.
Niagara
3212 supports flexible TAP and Link Aggregation options that provide
Network managers, IT managers and operators high visibility into network
performance and network traffic content. The unique TAP features include
two main TAP options, Split TAP Mode and Split TAP Link Aggregation Mode.
In addition, each TAP option can be configured to allow packet injection
from the monitoring appliances. The system is designed to be upgraded to
support traffic filtering in layer 2, layer 3 and layer 4.
The
Niagara
3212 10GE TAP and Link Aggregation TAP is managed by a 64-bit MIPS
controller which supports a wide variety of control and management
capabilities. The system provides flexible and intuitive CLI and GUI
management features including secure web UI via an HTTPS connection, secure
shell (SSH), SNMP, e-mail notification for special events, and TAP method
configuration. An authentication client capable of interfacing with
authentication servers such as TACACS+ is integrated into the system. In
addition, the TAP system possesses Syslog support, enabling consolidation
of log data from various systems into a central repository. This feature
provides management, traceability and security auditing across a wide
variety of devices and receivers on multiple platforms. The management
includes a simple local or remote upgrade feature which allows software
upgrade and update.
