Mylinking, a leading provider of network visibility solutions, has partnered with Cisco to provide Ethernet loopback testing for ASR9000 routers. The new feature allows network engineers to test the functionality of their networking equipment and ensure that data is flowing smoothly without interference.
The ASR9000 router is a powerful and versatile device that can handle a wide range of networking tasks. It is designed to deliver high performance and reliability, making it ideal for service providers and enterprise networks. However, like any complex piece of equipment, it requires regular maintenance and testing to ensure optimal performance.
Ethernet loopback testing is a common technique used by network engineers to verify that a particular port or connection is functioning correctly. It involves sending data packets from a device back to itself and checking whether they are received correctly. This can be used to test the functionality of individual components, such as cables, switches, and routers, as well as the overall network topology.
By combining Mylinking’s expertise in network traffic visibility with Cisco’s industry-leading ASR9000 router, network engineers can now perform Ethernet loopback testing with higher accuracy and convenience. Mylinking specializes in capturing, replicating, and aggregating network data traffic without packet loss, ensuring that the right packets are delivered to the right tools, such as IDS, APM, NPM, monitoring, and analysis systems.
The new solution provides several benefits for network engineers, including:
1. Faster and more accurate testing: Ethernet loopback testing with Mylinking and Cisco’s ASR9000 router can be performed more quickly and accurately, thanks to Mylinking’s advanced packet capture and replication technology. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors or false positives.
2. Improved visibility: Mylinking’s network visibility solutions provide real-time insights into network traffic, allowing engineers to identify potential issues and troubleshoot problems more effectively. This can help to improve network performance and reduce downtime.
3. Flexible deployment: Mylinking’s solutions can be deployed inline or out-of-band, depending on the specific needs of the organization. This allows for greater flexibility and scalability, as well as the ability to adapt to changing network requirements.
4. Cost-effective: Mylinking’s solutions are designed to be cost-effective, providing a high level of functionality and performance without breaking the bank. This makes it accessible to organizations of all sizes and budgets.
“We are excited to partner with Cisco to deliver this powerful new solution for network engineers,” said John Smith, CEO of Mylinking. “Ethernet loopback testing is an essential tool for ensuring the smooth functioning of networking equipment, and our technology makes it faster, more accurate, and more flexible than ever before. We look forward to helping organizations improve their network performance and reliability with this innovative solution.”
The partnership between Mylinking and Cisco is a testament to the growing importance of network visibility and infrastructure testing in today’s digital landscape. As more organizations rely on technology to drive their operations, the need for robust and reliable networking equipment is more critical than ever. With Mylinking’s advanced packet capture and replication technology, combined with Cisco’s industry-leading ASR9000 router, network engineers can rest assured that their networking equipment is functioning as it should, and data is flowing smoothly without interference.
In conclusion, the partnership between Mylinking and Cisco represents a significant step forward in network infrastructure testing and network visibility. As organizations continue to rely on technology to drive their operations, the need for reliable and cost-effective network solutions will only increase. With Mylinking’s advanced packet capture and replication technology, combined with Cisco’s ASR9000 router, network engineers have a powerful new tool at their disposal for ensuring optimal network performance and reliability.
