Overview 13

3 Overview

VS-2024-F — Data Filtering — Instead of tools attempting to keep up with high-speedaggregated traffic streams, the VS-2024-F (with data filtering) provides the option of applying filtersto the data to increase tool efficiency and eliminate port over subscription. Line-rate hardwarefiltering on each port allows you to customize and streamline the amount and type of data eachconnected monitoring tool receives. Because they are receiving only traffic of interest, tools runfaster, data is easier to work with, and issues are resolved quicker. Filters include IP and MACranges, VLAN, frame, port number, protocol type, even customizable offsets in the packet header.

Reliable and Easy to Use — Every unit comes with dual redundant power supplies to ensuremonitoring uptime.
