Gen2 capture card

The Gen2 card is designed and manufactured by Network Instruments and is optimized for the GigaStor probe.
The Gen2 card comes in two, four, eight, and twelve port models for 1 Gb and 10 Gb speeds. The 40 Gb Gen2
card comes only in a two port model as seen in Figure 18 (page 76).

The Gen2 capture card is only available pre-installed on probes from Network Instruments. For example, the
40Gb Gen2 capture card is only shipped with GigaStor Expandable and Portable units. It cannot be purchased
separately and installed in your hardware.
It is a capture-only device. It does not send out network traffic on any of its ports.
