Datacom Systems IncSPAN and Multi-Link Aggregators/Regenerators • USERguide32Unlike other solutions, the VERSAstream™ Multi-Link Aggregator when deployed withSINGLEstream™ Gigabit Aggregation Taps or other Datacom Systems Gigabit Ethernet tapsprovides complete visibility into Gigabit EtherChannel, while allowing network professionalsto use their existing analysis and monitoring devices. The VERSAstream™ Multi-LinkAggregator is a simple "plug and play" solution that can combine data from multiple GigabitEthernet network segments into one stream of data. A single Gigabit device, such as an intru-sion detection system, protocol analyzer, or network probe can receive the aggregated data withjust one network interface card (NIC). It requires no software, no configuration, and no admin-istration.Application & Hardware Installation — Figure 23through Figure 25 depict typical application installations of VERSAstream™ Multi-link aggregator/regenerator series models.Gigabit Ether Channel Application — shown in Figure 23,focuses on monitoring and analyzis of a Gigabit Ether Channel Distribution Network.This VS-1028 is similiar to other VERSAstream™ Multi-link series installations:Figure 23 - VS-1028 Gigabit EtherChannel Application
