GigaVUE TA Series Features and Benefits
GigaVUE TA Series nodes allow you to aggregate traffic from multiple network links from
1Gb up to 100Gb. The GigaVUE TA Series can pre-filter traffic for monitoring or be
integrated into the GigaVUE HC Series cluster for end-to-end Flow Mapping® and
management. The GigaVUE HSeries and TASeries products share the same GigaVUE-OS
software and are managed by GigaVUE-FM Fabric Manager for simplified operations.
Traffic from any of these ports can be processed by GigaSMART traffic intelligence
functions in GigaVUE HC Seriesdevices to further optimize the traffic before it is sent to
the tools.
GigaVUE TA Series nodes offer the following features and benefits:
■High-density visibility for 1Gb, 10Gb, 25Gb, 40Gb,100Gb and 400Gb.
■Low profile 1RU (2RU for GigaVUE-TA200) design offers easy deployment at the top
of rack or end of row in data centers.
■Depending on the model, the GigaVUE TA Series supports a wide variety of
Gigamon® transceivers. Transceivers purchased from other vendors are not
supported.
■Optional patch panel or breakout panel allows use of 40Gb ports as four individual
10Gb ports on all the GigaVUE TA Series nodes, or 100Gb ports as four individual
25Gb ports on GigaVUE-TA200, GigaVUE-TA25 or 400Gb ports as four individual
100Gb ports on GigaVUE-TA400.

configure, and update GigaVUE TA Series just like other GigaVUE HC Series.
GigaVUE-TA100 Chassis
This section describes the physical layout of the GigaVUE-TA100 chassis, including a
description of all ports and connectors. The GigaVUE-TA100 chassis consists of a 1RU,
rack-mountable, 19”-wide chassis with management, network, and tool ports at the front
and power connections and fans at the rear. Figure 1The GigaVUE-TA100 Chassis Front
View shows the ports at the front of the GigaVUE-TA100 chassis. Refer to Table 1:
GigaVUE-TA100 Ports for a description of each of the ports. Figure 2The GigaVUE-TA100
Chassis Rear View shows the fan modules and power supply units at the rear of the
GigaVUE-TA100chassis. Refer to Chassis Cooling for information on fans and temperature
monitoring.
The GigaVUE-TA100 provides thirty-two ports, supporting high-density aggregation.
Depending on the transceiver, QSFP+ or QSFP28, the ports run at speeds of either 40Gb
or 100Gb. With QSFP+ transceivers, a 40Gb port can be broken out into four 10Gb ports,
called 4x10G mode.
The 100Gb/40Gb ports on GigaVUE-TA100 can be used as network, tool, hybrid, or stack-
link ports.
The GigaVUE-TA100 node in standalone mode must be running software version 4.6.01 or
higher. The GigaVUE-TA100 node in a cluster environment must be running software
version 4.8 or higher.

Ports c1..c32
or
c1x1..c1x4,c2x1..c2x4,c3x1..c3x4,
...
GigaVUE-TA100 includes 32 100Gb ports (c1..c32). These ports also
support 40Gb speeds.
Any of the 100Gb ports on the GigaVUE-TA100 can operate at 40Gb
with a QSFP+ transceiver. With a QSFP+ transceiver, a port can be
broken out into 4 10Gb ports, called subports. The subports will all
have the same speed (10Gb). Subports will have x1 to x4 appended to
their port ID, for example, 1/1/c2x1. For details, refer to Configure the
Port Mode.
Once a 40Gb port has been configured to operate as four 10Gb ports,
cable it to an optical patch panel or breakout panel, such as PNL-M341,
which takes a 40Gb QSFP+ input from the GigaVUE-TA100and splits it
to four independent 10Gb output ports. Refer to Breakout Panels.
The ports accept 40Gb QSFP+ connections using QSFP+ SR or PLR4
transceivers.
The ports accept 40Gb BiDi transceivers (RX-only or full duplex). RX-
only BiDi only supports RX on network ports. Full Duplex (RX/TX)
supports network and tool ports.
Transceivers For details about the supported transceivers and cable type, refer to
the “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”.

Chassis Cooling
The fans on the GigaVUE-TA100 run at 100% of their maximum speed on power up, then
drop to approximately 60% during normal operations. The temperatures of four
components: transceivers, exhaust, CPU, and switch CPU, are monitored. When a
component crosses a pre-defined threshold, the fan speed is adjusted dynamically, in
increments of approximately 10%.
An SNMP trap is sent when a component reaches the threshold for warning, alert, or
critical temperature conditions. Refer to Table 2: Component Temperature Thresholds
and Actions for the temperatures at which the warning, alert, and critical traps are sent
and any additional action that occurs at a threshold.
