4xN 10/100/1000 Span Port iMatrix Switch

Chapter 1

Introduction

Overview

Net Optics 4xN 10/100/1000 Span Port iMatrix Switches enhance LAN vis- ibility by providing access across multiple 10/100/1000 Span ports for up to four analyzers or security devices. The physical layer connections through the iMatrix Switch eliminate the need to reconnect and reconfigure analyzers for each new monitoring task. This flexibility instantly improves ease of use and return on investment.

The 4xN 10/100/1000 Span iMatrix Switch supports simultaneous passive monitoring of any four Span ports connected to the iMatrix Switch, each with a separate distributed analyzer.

Scalable Deployment

Double or triple Span port coverage by daisy chaining iMatrix Switches. The Daisy Chain option allows a single monitoring device or host PC to manage up to three iMatrix Switches and 48 Span ports.

Remote Control

The iMatrix Switch Web Manager and System Manager allows you to remote- ly set IP parameters and change which link is monitored with a click of your mouse. The Web Manager is browser-based interface accessible from any PC with a browser and access to the iMatrix Switch’s IP address. System Manager is an SNMP-based management interface.

Reliability

For extra uptime protection, Net Optics iMatrix Switches offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the iMatrix Switch automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the iMatrix Switch indicate the current power source.
