4xN 10/100/1000 Span Port iMatrix Switch
Chapter 1
Introduction
Overview
Net Optics 4xN 10/100/1000 Span Port iMatrix Switches enhance LAN vis-
ibility by providing access across multiple 10/100/1000 Span ports for up to
four analyzers or security devices. The physical layer connections through the
iMatrix Switch eliminate the need to reconnect and reconfigure analyzers for
each new monitoring task. This flexibility instantly improves ease of use and
return on investment.
The 4xN 10/100/1000 Span iMatrix Switch supports simultaneous passive
monitoring of any four Span ports connected to the iMatrix Switch, each with
a separate distributed analyzer.
Scalable Deployment
Double or triple Span port coverage by daisy chaining iMatrix Switches. The
Daisy Chain option allows a single monitoring device or host PC to manage
up to three iMatrix Switches and 48 Span ports.
Remote Control
The iMatrix Switch Web Manager and System Manager allows you to remote-
ly set IP parameters and change which link is monitored with a click of your
mouse. The Web Manager is browser-based interface accessible from any PC
with a browser and access to the iMatrix Switch’s IP address. System Manager
is an SNMP-based management interface.
Reliability
For extra uptime protection, Net Optics iMatrix Switches offer redundant
power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the iMatrix Switch
automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front
of the iMatrix Switch indicate the current power source.
