Director
The inputs are divided into three groups: two DNMs plus the 10GbE ports. In-line DNM models support 6 in-line links, while Span DNM models support 12 Span ports. The diagram shows one in-line and one Span DNM. Both in‑line and Span DNMs are available with either Copper or SX, LX, or ZX Fiber interfaces. Different DNM types can be mixed in the same chassis, for example, one in-line Copper DNM and one Span Fiber DNM. The modules are hot-pluggable for easy serviceability. One or both DNM slots can be populated. The DNM slots are numbered 1 for the slot on the left and 2 for the slot on the right. If only one slot is populated, it should be slot 1.
The four configurable 10-Gigabit XFP ports are shown in the first four columns and last four rows of the diagram. The four dark black rows indicate that all four ports are configured as Span inputs. The four dimmed columns indicate that the ports can alternately be configured as Monitor ports. The four ports may be configured as:
•Both Span
•Both Monitor
•One Span and one Monitor
In addition, the two 10 Gigabit ports on the back of the chassis (t2.1, t2.2) can be used as uplink ports to daisy-chain chassis for expansion.
USB port
A USB port located on the back is reserved for future functionality.
Director Management
Director can be configured and managed using a command-line interface (CLI) that will be familiar to most network administrators. The CLI runs locally over an RS-232 serial port or remotely over a secure SSH connection.
Net Optics GUI-based Indigo management tools, which will be available soon, include:
•Web Manager—A Web-browser based tool to manage a single Director (at a time) from anywhere in the world
•System Manager—An SNMP platform-based tool to mange all the Director and other Net Optics iTap-enabled devices on your network
