AXTAP1200 Series Link Aggregation Taps

INTRODUCTION

By using a AXTAP1200 Series Link Aggregating Tap, multiple network devices/tools can receive combined traffic
from both sides of the dedicated in-line tapped network conversation. Only one NIC is required by each net-
work device or tool to detect all combined traffic. Figure 1 depicts a typical AXTAP1204 Link Aggregating Tap
scenario.
