Tool Aggregator Anue

Further product information.

Benefits

• Aggregates network data from any SPAN port or TAP in the data center to a convenient centralized tool farm
• Allows multiple tools to share access to all network data
• Load balances tools with packet filtering so each tool gets the data it needs

Connectivity options

• Any-to-Any - directs data from any link in your network to any tool
• Any-to-Many - eliminates the shortage of SPAN ports and TAPs by multicasting traffic from one link to multiple tools
• Many-to-Any - aggregates traffic from multiple links to provide tools a "big pipe" view

Port Capacity

Two models with different combinations of copper and optical ports are available

5204

• Twenty-four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports (up to four optical)
• Four 10G ports (optical or copper)

5236

• Base system includes four SFP+ 1G ports, additional 1G or 10G ports can be easily upgraded in the field in one port increments
• Up to 28 ports per system
• Twenty 10G/1G ports (SFP+)
• Four 10G dual media ports (XFP or CX4)
• Four 1G copper ports (RJ45)

Features

• Real time statistics on traffic by input data port, filter, and tool port
• All ports can be utilized as either network or tool ports
• Dynamic port reconfiguration with no operational impact
• Password authentication for different user levels
• Event logging
• Remote management via web access, SNMP

The Anue Aggregator can filter traffic data based on Layer 2-4 criteria including: MAC address, VLAN, Ethertype, IP address, IP Protocol, and port number. Filtering eliminates the tool data overload that is common in many data centers. As a result, powerful network tools work to their full potential and dropped packets will not compromise coverage.

The graphical user interface (GUI) provides a clear view of the links and traffic each tool is monitoring as well as filter settings. The drag and drop feature makes it easy to configure your tools as your network changes or to support your daily troubleshooting needs.
