Network TAP Load Balance for Network Monitor and Analysis System
Application
What does Network Analysis System work?
The network analysis system is a portable network analysis system
that supports wired and wireless network capture and analysis of
data packets, which is very convenient for network managers to
install and deploy. Help network administrators solve various
network problems and quickly and accurately find the root of the
problem. It decodes, detects, analyzes and diagnoses all data
packets transmitted in the network, helping network administrators
to eliminate network accidents, avoid security risks, improve
network performance, and increase network availability value.
Quickly discover and eliminate network faults;
- Discover network bottlenecks and improve network performance;
-Discover and resolve various network abnormal crises to improve
security;
-Manage resources, count and record the traffic and bandwidth of
each node;
- Tweak the network, view connections to various applications,
services and hosts, monitor network activity;
- Manage web applications.
Does the user have Network Analysis Pain Points?
When the user network upgrade to 10G, 25G, 40G or higher bandwidth,
the Network Monitoring and Analysis equipment (audit / IDS / APM /
NPM) how to monitor?
Customer Case & Solution
Case:
1 x 40G aggregator with MPO (SR4) multimode interface and 10G
output
4-port 40G passive tap with MPO (SR4) multimode interface
Since the current total utilization is only 10% of the total link
capacity, I only need the aggregation capability of the packet
broker. The output of the aggregator must be only 10G, because the
LiveCapture device only has capacity enabled on 10G. They will only
upgrade the interface if the total traffic exceeds 10G. These 4
ports come from a 40G switch and they are connected to each other
redundantly. So I need at least 8 40G passive tap ports to plug
into this network. The output of the 40G passive tap will be
connected to the packet proxy (40G interface). PacketBroker pushes
traffic to 10GE output which will connect to network monitoring
device (LiveCapture) 10G, I need at least 2 10G ports. This setup
will be created as the existing budget is not sufficient to cover
the full monitoring costs of 40G. They will currently be doing 10G
real-time capture, and will upgrade once the traffic exceeds 10G.
Solution:
For example in image,
1- 8 x ports 40G from Passive TAP to Broker port 1 - 8(40/100G
QSFP28 module)
2- Broker port 1-8 Load Balancing output to port 20-27 to be as 40G
3- Port 20 of 40G division into 4 ports 20.0, 20.1, 20.2 and 20.3
as 10G output(MPO QSFP28 module)
4- Finally, you can get 4 x 10G(port 20.0, 20.1, 20.2 & 20.3), and
7 x 40G(port 21 - 27)
Actually, now the current network traffic is not reached to be full
40G. According to the future upgrade, the options will be:
1- Two units of model "NT-FTAP-54ECX" with 6 x 40/100G QSFP28 ports
plus 48 x 10G SFP+
2- One unit of "NT-FTAP-32QCX" with 32 x 40/100GE QSFP28 ports via
the Load Balance output.
