Network TAP Load Balance for Network Monitor and Analysis System
Application
What does Network Analysis System work?
Network Analysis System is a portable network analysis system, support wired and wireless
network capture packet analysis, very convenient for network
management personnel to install and deploy.Help network management personnel in various network problems,
quickly and accurately find the root of the problem.It decodes, detects, analyzes and diagnoses all packets transmitted
in the network, and helps network administrators eliminate network
accidents, avoid security risks, improve network performance and
increase network availability value.
Quickly find and troubleshoot network faults;
- Find network bottleneck to improve network performance;
- Find and solve various network abnormal crisis, improve security;
- Manage resources, count and record the traffic and bandwidth of
each node;
- Regulate the network, view the connection of various
applications, services and hosts, monitor the network activities;
- Manage network 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 unit of 40g aggregator with MPO (SR4) multimode interface and 10G
output
4 port of 40G Passive taps with MPO (SR4) multimode interface
As the total utilization at this moment is just 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 as the
capacity enabled on the LiveCapture Appliance on only 10G. they
will just upgrade the interface if the total traffic exceed 10G.
The 4 ports are from the 40G switches they are connected redundant
to each other. So I need at least 8 ports of 40G passive tap to
inset on that network. The output of the 40G passive taps will be
connected to the packet broker (40G interface). The PacketBroker
will push the traffic to 10GE output which will be connected to the
Network Monitoring Appliance (LiveCapture) 10G, I need atleast 2 x
10G ports. It will be created this set up as the existing budget
will not be enough to cover the full 40G monitoring. They will
invlest on a 10G Live Capture for now and will be upgraded once the
traffic exceed 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.
