Ixia Copper Tap Port Aggregator

TPA2-CU3
The Ixia Copper Tap Port Aggregator, TPA2-CU3, Highlights
10/100/1000Mbps is a secure, plug and play aggregation
device for a single network link. This aggregation tap • Copper 10/100/1000Mbps

• Redundant power ensures monitoring uptime
Mode switchable, the TPA2-CU3 can run in either
Aggregation Mode or Non-Aggregation Mode. In
Aggregation Mode the TPA2-CU3 sends copies of the
aggregated traffic through two monitoring ports, allowing for
a primary and secondary tool. The TPA2-CU3 scans
incoming traffic from the network ports on a first-in-first-out
basis. The scan rate is optimized to ensure that no packets
are dropped, as long as the sum of data rates on the
network ports does not exceed the monitoring port capacity
of 1 Gbps.

In Non-Aggregation mode, the TPA2-CU3 operates in half


duplex mode, where Monitor Port A will transmit traffic
received on Network Port A, and Monitor Port B will transmit
traffic received on Network first-in-first-out basis. The scan
rate is optimized to ensure that no packets are dropped, as
long as the sum of data rates on the network ports does not
exceed the monitoring port capacity of 1 Gbps.

duplex mode, where Monitor Port A will transmit traffic

received on Network Port A, and Monitor Port B will transmit traffic received on Network Port B. In non-
aggregation mode, the TPA2-CU3 operates at full line rate. The TPA2-CU3 supports Power Over
Ethernet (POE) on both Network Ports A and B.

For extra uptime protection, the TPA2-CU3 is supplied with redundant power connections. Should the
primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. Should both
input power sources fail or be removed, the TPA2-CU3 will still pass traffic between its network ports

KEY FEATURES:
• Secure tap - No way for the device to become compromised or be brought down by external threats
• Fail to wire - Relays fail open, allowing traffic to flow even in a power outage
• Mode Switchable - Port Aggregation (full duplex) or Non-Aggregation (half duplex)
• Does not modify traffic - tools see real copies of the packets from the network
• Cost effective - avoid costly expenses managing SPAN ports
• POE Support - Supports passing Power-Over-Ethernet over the network ports
• Auto speed negotiation on all ports
