3- Mylinking™ Network Tap Typical Application Structures
With the development of network security technology and enterprise security continue to receive attention, based on the safety equipment of network bypass deployment and network traffic analysis equipment gradually increased, the simultaneous deployment of two or more bypass monitoring equipment is not only to increase core switches performance overhead, but can not meet a variety of safety equipment flexible deployment needs. Mylinking™ Network Tap Gigabit Ethernet traffic replicator /aggregator monitoring port can be a full line of traffic data replication to multiple monitoring port, and can also support multi-port traffic aggregation capabilities, flexibly meet your network security and traffic analysis equipment deployment requirements.2.1- Basic Functional Overview Mylinking™ Network Tap of ML-TAP-0601is a smart network traffic replicator/aggregator. In Gigabit network, committing to solving the problem of multiple devices simultaneously monitoring, can support multiple network segments, packet mode of traffic aggregation and traffic replication. By grouping configurations on the ports which can reach 1-to-many link signal copy to 1-to-many link signal capability; while the traffic between port groups can be mutually isolated; supports reverse data transmission to meet some special safety equipment requirements( such as IDS blocking function)
Mylinking™ Network Tap is a grouped traffic replication and aggregation device. As shown above, the intrusion detection system and network behavior audit system are bypass deployed device, so both need to monitor data traffic from two core switches; since the deployment of intrusion detection system and network behavior audit system only support a single monitor port function, so they monitor the traffic which need to aggregate to a port. Mylinking™ traffic replicator can use the grouped port replication technology which can flexibly and respectively copy the data from two different Gigabit Ethernet links to other four Gigabit Ethernet links. Perfectly meet simultaneous deployed in the network two or more multi-port monitoring bypass device needs, solved the mirroring problem of switches can’t support two destination port.3.2 Mylinking™ Network Tap Traffic Aggregation Application(as following)
Mylinking™ Network Tap one of the typical application is as a grouped traffic replication device. As shown above, the intrusion detection system and network behavior audit system are bypass deployed equipment, so which need monitor the data traffic from two core switches. Mylinking™ traffic replicator can use the grouped port replication technology which can flexibly and respectively copy the data from two different Gigabit Ethernet links to other four Gigabit Ethernet links. Perfectly meet simultaneous deployed in the network two or more multi-port monitoring bypass device needs, solved the mirroring problem of switches can’t support two destination port.Mylinking™ Network Tap Gigabit Ethernet traffic replicator/aggregator uses a dedicated hardware ASIC chip to meet the Gigabit Ethernet traffic replication and convergence requirements, flexibility to achieve 1-to-many or many-to-many traffic replication and aggregation deployment. | Network Environment | Bandwidth |
| Traffic Generation Engine Capacity | >6Gbps |
| Single Port Replication capacity | Maximum 1Gbps |

2.2- System Structure and Operating Principle Mylinking™ Network Tap uses dedicated ASIC chip with hardware mode design. The internal has a strong packet traffic re-generation engine, which can complete multi-port wire-speed traffic replication. The hardware packet-filtering engine can flexibly support packet by grouping replication between different ports. Each Ethernet MAC port has isolated frame buffer in order to have better replication and transmission frame performance; Gigabit Ethernet PHY modules can flexibly support Gigabit electrical interface ( 10/100/1000M self-negotiation)
2.3- Duplex wire-speed traffic replication capabilities Mylinking™ Network Tap uses ASIC chip with hardware mode design which can wire-speed copy Ethernet signal. Flexibly and respectively make 1 link 1000Mbps port traffic copy to many roads 1000Mbps port, effectively making your intrusion detection, prevention systems, security audit system, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, and other security bypass deployment devices can completely monitor the data traffic, and ensure your network security better. 2.4- Flexible port group replication and aggregation function Mylinking™ Network Tap with multiple 1000M Ethernet optical/electrical interface (depending on model), you can flexible define port group to achieve one or more of the 1000M Ethernet link signal replication. By defining a port group, and specify any number of traffic replication source port and destination port, it can support multiple traffic replication and aggregation source and destination port, and even support the traffic replication and aggregation of multiple source port to multiple destination port. 2.5- Supports 802.1Q traffic replication Mylinking™ Network Tap Gigabit Ethernet traffic replicator/aggregator can be transparently supports the mirroring replication of TRUNK data source port, regardless of your mirroring data port is Trunk port or Access port, are able to achieve many-to-1 and many-to-many data replication. Flexibly to meet the needs of different topologies. 2.6- Multiple function and easy to use - The factory configuration is 1 traffic replication source port, 5 traffic replication destination port, you don’t need other configuration, it can meet 1 to at most 5 links’ traffic replication demands. -Simple and easy to use WEB management configuration. -Status monitoring. Power LED provides a visual indicator, system status, interface rate, the LINK status, and Link Activity status. -Fully compatible with intrusion detection systems, protocol analyzers, RMON probes, network audit system applications. 3.1 Mylinking™ Network Tap for Traffic Replication Application(as following)
