Introduction Net Optics Director is a key component for building a comprehensive, consolidated monitoring infrastructure for both network management and security. It extends the range of visibility for data monitoring across converged data and digital voice networks, while eliminating monitoring port contention and minimizing the number of tools needed to optimally manage the network. ports. It includes aggregation and regeneration functions, so the link-to-monitor-port mapping can be one-to-one, particular monitoring tools. Matrix switching, aggregation, and regeneration provided. Network and Span ports can be aggregated and regenerated to output ports in almost any combination. Modular design Copper links. The Director Chassis includes two DNM slots; they can be populated with the same or different DNM types. Ten -Gigabit Monitor ports are SFP-based, accepting any mix of Copper, SX, and LX interface modules. Flexible 0 Gigabit support Monitor ports. Expandable Two 0 Gigabit ports on the rear of the unit enable daisy-chaining up to ten Director chassis to expand the number of

while Span DNM models support 2 Span ports. The diagram shows one in-line and one Span DNM. oth in-line and Span DNMs are available with either Copper or SX, LX, or ZX Fiber interfaces. Different DNM types can be mixed in the same chassis, for example, one in-line Copper DNM and one Span Fiber DNM. The modules are hot-pluggable for easy serviceability. One or both DNM slots can be populated. The DNM slots are numbered for the slot on the left and 2 for the slot on the right. If only one slot is populated, it should be slot. oth Span oth Monitor One Span and one Monitor chassis for expansion. US port located on the back is reserved for future functionality.

In this installation, Director has ten additional Span ports and one in-line link that are available for expansion, when more links need to be monitored. Monitoring Tools Still referring to Figure 2, six monitoring tools are connected to Director. They include protocol and performance analyzers, connected network links, and the connections can be switched easily, using the Director CLI, without ever moving a One of the network monitoring tools is capable of handling more than Gbps, so it is attached to a 0 Gigabit XFP The two green RMON monitoring tools at the bottom are the same type of tool. Two identical tools provide the capability of monitoring a greater amount of data than a single tool can handle. nother reason to use identical monitoring 7
