iTap GigaBit Dual Port Aggregator

System Manager

iTap Port Aggregators can be used as a system managed via Simple Network Man- agement Protocol (SNMP) from a single interface. Net Optics' System Manager is an SNMP management tool that offers central management of all Net Optics iTap devices in the network. You can organize iTaps into groups according to workgroup, location, or any other criteria. As with Web Manager, you can view all status, configuration, and traffic information and make changes quickly to any iTap in the system. The iTap Port Aggregator generates SNMP alarm traps for system status, threshold alarm, link status, and power status. If you are already using an SNMP management tool, iTap Port Aggregators can be fully accessed after loading Net Optics' Management Information Base (MIB) file.

Security, Visibility, and Reliability

You have the option of setting the iTap Port Aggregator so that it will not display data on the LCD and you can turn off the Management Port, thus preventing it from being accessed from the network. The Monitor Ports can also be turned off to prevent unauthorized access to the network link. The monitoring device connected to the iTap Port Aggregator sees all full-duplex traffic including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors. Redundant power connections provide uptime protection.
