About the GigaVUE Family
Gigamon’s TASeries and HSeries of GigaVUE Visibility Platform nodes deliver unprecedented
switching capacity, port density, and from 1Gb up to 100Gb support. The GigaVUE HSeries and
GigaVUE TASeries include the following models that run GigaVUE-OS:
• GigaVUE-HC1
• GigaVUE-HC2
• GigaVUE-HC3
• GigaVUE-TA40
• GigaVUE-TA100
• GigaVUE-TA100-CXP
• GigaVUE-TA200
• Certified Traffic Aggregation White Boxes
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
H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 HSeries devices to further optimize the traffic before it is
sent to the tools.
About the GigaVUE Family | GigaVUE TA Series Hardware Installation Guide 9

GigaVUE TASeries nodes offer the following features and benefits:
• High-density visibility for 1Gb, 10Gb, 40Gb, and 100Gb.
• 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.
• All ports of same type and speed can be used to create GigaStream.
• Front to back cooling.
• Fan modules.
• AC or DC power supply. Included with each node is the redundant second power supply.
NOTE:Clustering is not supported on the GigaVUE-TA100-CXP.
Standard HSeries Features
In addition to the features described above, the GigaVUE TASeries offers many standard features
from the GigaVUE HSeries nodes:
Benefit Descriptions
Remote Management Configure the GigaVUE Traffic Aggregator’s operations from a command-
line interface:
• Local access over the serial console port.
• Remote network access using SSH2 over the
10/100/1000 Ethernet Mgmt port.
• Secure access to the CLI, either through local
authentication or optional RADIUS/TACACS+/LDAP
support.
• Powerful and flexible logging, including event
notification via syslog, email, and SNMP traps.
Aggregate Links Send the data from multiple different network ports to a tool port or
GigaStream, allowing you to combine traffic from multiple access points
into a single stream for uplink to the Gigamon Visibility Platform.
The GigaVUE TASeries nodes feature a common CLI with other GigaVUE
HSeries nodes.
