Garland M10G BP Series User manual

To deploy the M10GxxBP modular tap system into your network, simply:
 Carefully unpack and inspect the tap modules and system chassis.
 Insert and fully seat the M10GxxBP modules into the M10Gxxxx chassis and secure modules using both screws.
 Install the tap and chassis assembly into any available 1U slot of a network rack and secure it with rack mount screws.
 Connect the power supply to the M10GxxBP and plug it into an available power source and turn on the power switch. Note: A VLAN message on the LCD screen is normal.
 Utilizing the CLI or GUI, configure the M10GxxBP for the operating mode of your choice (default is bypass mode).
 Remove the power supply to the M10Gxxxx chassis temporarily.
 Using standard Ethernet cables, connect NETWORK ports [A] and [B] of the M10GxxBP between the two live network devices where you would otherwise deploy an inline
appliance or sensor (for example: IPS or DLP). Verify network traffic is flowing, confirming that network cabling is correct.
 Connect MONITOR ports [A] and [B] to the inline IPS/DLP appliance or other tools for traditional breakout or aggregated traffic monitoring.
 Connect the power leads to the M10Gxxxx chassis power supplies and plug it into an available power source. Turn on the chassi s power switch. Note: A VLAN message on the
LCD screen is normal.
Notes: * Fiber is always 10Gbps speed. Other operating modes may be desired for monitoring and may be configured using the CLI or GUI.
* If you wish to replace one of the modules in a chassis without shutting the power to the entire chassis, you need to remov e power to the module that you wish to replace
through the CLI using the power_offcommand. See Sub-paragraphs 6.56.8 and 6.56.9 on page 69 of the User Guide.

M10GxxBP Series Modular Tap
Installation Guide
LFP or Link Failure Propagation: Allows link state to be mirrored to adjacent live network interfaces. When one side of a network loses link on a
connecting tap, the link state is propagated to the other interface of the tap and ultimately to the other side of the network. Enabled by default.
LK or Link/Activity: Solid when link is achieved and flashes when data is detected on an interface.
BP or Bypass: A mode that allows active temporary bypass of an inline appliance or sensor type IPS/DLP device. Bypass is based on the ope rating
characteristics of the connected network appliance. When a bypass tap device is not able to detect link or heartbeats from (or through) inline appliance
or sensor connecting to the C and D sensor port pair, the appliance is bypassed automatically, keeping link up and networks online and passing data.
Aggregation: Combines data flows for full-duplex monitoring on a single interface. Ideal when monitoring both sides of network traffic simultaneously.
Breakout: Separates data flows for half-duplex directional monitoring. Ideal when utilization is very high and packet loss is not an option.
SPAN or Regenerate: Allows users to multiply one or more inputs into many outputs. BP LEDs are not used while this mode is configured.
FailSafe: On power loss, live network tap ports re-establish link with each other, resuming traffic flow between critical network devices. Always on.
Reverse Bypass: Disables link on both live network ports if all inline appliances lose link or cannot pass traffic. Disabled by default.
Packet Injection: Allows monitor ports to inject Ethernet frames back into the live network flows.
