simenARSimena <strong>Packet</strong> <strong>Flow</strong> <strong>Switch</strong><strong>PFS1524</strong> We put networks in a box! TMProduct DescriptionSimena's <strong>Packet</strong> <strong>Flow</strong> <strong>Switch</strong> <strong>PFS1524</strong> is the industry’s lowest latency monitoring switch with 24 10 Gigabit Ethernet(10GE) full wire speed ports that can be used as a tool aggregator, traffic consolidator, or traffic divider.<strong>PFS1524</strong> supports all types of SFP+ and SFP modules (supporting all Ethernet speeds), allowing users to collectpackets from many sources and send them to various devices.Through its web based user interface, it is possible to create clusters (stacks) and manage all units within the samewindow. Simena's wire speed packet filtering allows users to pick and choose specific packets to be forwarded. Inaddition, the packet slicing feature allows users to forward only the configurable portion of packets eliminating theoverloading of monitoring systems with unnecessary <strong>data</strong>. Port tagging is another innovative Simena PFS featuresthat marks the packets with the port IDs where they are received.Key Benefits Load balance heavy traffic to multiple monitoring tools Multicast critical traffic to multiple security devices Aggregate several streams of traffic to a single network tool Save valuable SPAN ports & TAPs Bridge traffic between expensive 10G and multiple 1G ports Collect packets independent of speed or media type Create innovative traffic scenarios with any-to-any connections Reduce chatty SPAN port traffic by packet filtering & packet slicing Media & speed conversion among 10/100/1,000/10,000 Ethernet ports Increase productivity in troubleshootingRouterLoad BalancerNetwork<strong>Switch</strong>E1E2E3E4E5E6E7E8Traffic AnalyzerMonitoring SystemTraffic LoggerGeneral Features High port density with 24 10GE ports in 1U <strong>Packet</strong> slicing to forward configurable portion of packets Internal tap creation Aggregation or distribution in unlimited port configurations Wire speed layer 2-4 packet filtering All ports can be either monitored or network ports Several management options: HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, or console Lowest latency aggregation switch in the market Web based GUI for clustering and central management Attractive pricing based on port count licensingFor more informationcall: 571.323.1500 e-mail: info@simena.net visit: www.simena.net
<strong>Packet</strong> Slicing<strong>Packet</strong> slicing feature allows users to forward packets with only headerinformation by stripping the payload or any other portion of the packet.This will help to eliminate overloading of monitoring tools. Users canspecify packet slices from 64 to 4096 bytes.High Port DensityWith the aid of the easy to use web GUI, and high port density (24ports in 1U), PFS allows the creation of any-to-any, or many-to-manyconnections among all available ports. Ports are not dedicated forcertain functions. Any port can be used as an input, output, tap,network or monitor port. PFS can be purchased with any number ofports. It can later be upgraded by purchasing additional port licenses.Port TaggingSimena’s PFS ‘s port tagging feature help users to determine theorigine of the packets. When port where tagging is enabled, incomingpackets are marked with the port number they are received. During thisoperation, the content of the packet is maintained. Monitoring systemscan easily determine the port that the packet was received by referringto the port tagging field of the packets.Central Management & Clustering with Web GUIThrough PFS's web based user interface, ports can be easily configured;configuration files can be reviewed, saved and shared. Dynamic portreconfiguration is supported and can be accomplished while the PFS isrunning. The dashboard provides the status of each port with mouse overhints.PFS’s GUI allows managing multiple units within the same window. There isno limit on how many units can be managed remotely. In addition,clustering (stacking) of multiple units to effectively increase port count ispossible.SpecificationsSystemFull duplex wire speed on all portsSupporting 1GE and 10GE wire speedVery low latency and non-blocking packet switchingManagementHTTP, HTTPS, CLI, SSH, SNMPPower110/240 VAC, 50/60Hz, 250W (optional -48V DC)Redundant power suppliesOperating EnvironmentTemperature: 5ºC to 40ºC, Humidity: 20% to 90% RHRegulatoryFCC, CE, ROHSDimension1U - 431(W) x 419(L) x 190(H) mm, 17"(W) x 16.5"(L) x 1.75"(H)Ordering InformationWire Speed <strong>Packet</strong> FilteringPFS includes ACL based layer 2-4 packet filtering at full wire speed.
