2 Overview

The SINGLEstream family of products increases network visibility and leverages your investment

in network analyzers, probes, and security equipment by allowing you to simultaneously monitor as

many supported configurable ports as you may need to fit your peripheral network tools. Greater

visibility accelerates problem resolution, reduces downtime and increases enterprise productivity.

The SINGLEstream family of products is compatible with all vendor hardware and can be

controlled by our Command Line Interface (CLI) software which allows you control with a single

interface regardless of what network appliances you choose to deploy.

This User Guide addresses the SINGLEstream family which includes the SS-1200-S, SS-2200-S

and SS-4200-S series of products with specific models within each series.

2.1 LINKprotect™

Many traditional taps prevent the operation of redundant routing and fail over systems because they

keep both sides of the network invisible to the other. The built-in LINKprotect feature eliminates

this point of network failure by continuously monitoring both sides of the tapped network for link

status. If one side of the tap loses link status, LINKprotect will close the other side of the link, so

routers and switches can engage protocols to bypass the failed link.

Additional information on the LINKprotect feature can be found on the LINKprotect User Guide at:

http://www.datacomsystems.com/resources/manuals

3.3 SS-4200 Series Front Panels 3.3.1 SS-4210BT-SFP-S

3.4 Front Panel Description 3.4.1 Power

Two switching AC adapter power supplies are provided for each configurable unit. Although only

one power supply is required to power the module, use of a second independent power source is

strongly recommended to assure uninterrupted monitoring. Furthermore, connecting the second

ACinput power socket to a different external power source circuit than the first AC input power

source eliminates power as a single point of failure.

The power barrel sockets are

located on the rear. The

POWER 1 and 2 front panel

LEDs illuminate green when

power is available at both of

the two rear power barrel

sockets indicating power 1

and 2, respectively, are on.

If either LED is not illuminated, it could indicate a defective power source and investigation for

the cause is recommended to insure redundant power integrity.



3.4.2 Copper Network Port Pairs Copper Network port pairs are used to connect to endpoints on each end of the link allowing the

SINGLEstream™ to non-intrusively make a copy of network traffic. For example, to access

network traffic between a switch and a firewall, NET port 1 connects to a switch, while NET port

2 connects to a firewall.

Each port pair has an internal built-in relay that protects the network link in the rare instance of a

power outage. If a power outage occurs on both redundant power supplies, the relay will fail open,

allowing network traffic to directly pass between network endpoints.

3.4.3 Fiber TAP Port Pairs

These ports are used to passively tap a network link, allowing the SINGLEstream™ to non-

intrusively make a copy of network traffic. For example, to access network traffic between a

switch and a firewall, NET port 1 connects to a switch, while NET port 2 connects to a firewall.

Due to the passive connection to the network, configuration changes and power loss have no effect

on the link state, or the traffic going over the link

Correct Wiring: When installing a Fiber Tap, it is important to make sure that the Tx and Rx

fibers are connected to the respective ports on the Fiber Tap. When wired correctly, the traffic

incoming on an Rx port will be split before being sent to two separate Tx ports (One copy to the

other Network device, the other copy to Monitor).

Reverse Wiring: If the fibers are connected backwards, light will not be received on the

monitoring port. This is because the internal coupler that splits the light is unidirectional.



3.4.4 Copper Any-To-Any Ports

These ports can be dynamically assigned as output ports or additional input ports. Configuring the

ports as input ports allows you to connect SPAN ports or additional Taps to the SINGLEstream™.

When configured as output ports, they provide network tools access to traffic from all input ports.

3.4.5 SFP Any-To-Any Ports

These ports can be dynamically assigned as output ports or additional input ports. Configuring the

ports as input ports allows you to connect SPAN ports or additional Taps to the SINGLEstream™.

When configured as output ports, they provide network tools access to traffic from all input ports.

Depending on what type of SFP is inserted into the port, they may be used as 1G Copper ports, 1G

Multimode Fiber ports, or 1G Singlemode ports. For best results, make sure that you are using a

Datacom tested and approved SFP.

3.4.6 Management Port

The Management port is used for Telnet, SSH, and SNMP features. It is used for remote

connectivity and configuration of the SINGLEstream, and for SNMP traps/alerts. This can be

connected directly to a PC, or through a network switch for remote access.



3.5 Rear Panel Description

3.5.1 Serial DB9

The SERIAL connector port is a shielded DB9 Female and is cabled to the COM port of any

compatible network tool or PC where terminal emulation software resides. The cable is a parallel

straight-through cable (EIA232 Standard, DRL512-2M-R serial cable, DB9 M/F straight thru)

with no cross-overs or self-connects in the connector hoods.

3.5.2 Rear Labeling

Identifiers for Serial Number (SN), Media Access Control (MAC) address, certification

compliance, input power requirements and various other information is provided. Serial number

may be requested for support inquiries.

3.5.3 Input Power Ports Two DC input power sockets are provided on the rear panel.

Although only one switching AC adapter power supply is

required to power the configurable unit, use of a second

independent power source is strongly recommended to assure

uninterrupted monitoring.



4 Installation and Configuration

4.1 Rack Installation and Connection to Network

For the latest installation guide, please check the FASTstart guide associated with the product that

you are installing. You can download the guide at:


4.2 Command Line Interface

IMPORTANT: Prior to initial configuration of the hardware, it is imperative to review the

entire Initial Configuration section before proceeding to the Installation section.

This section explains the considerations and requirements for the initial configuration of the SS-

1200-S, SS-2200-S and SS-4200-S series by a Command Line Interface (CLI) with a management

PC using a terminal emulation application connected either through the SERIAL DB9 port or

though the MANAGEMENT RJ45 port. Only one configuration session can be open at a time.

The Command Line Interface (CLI) is used to:

set IP address (default 192.168.1.1),

set Subnet Mask (default 255.255.0.0)

set Default Gateway (default 192.168.1.0)

set port speed and duplex

Configure port routing

NOTE: The factory default for all Any-to-Any ports on all aggregation taps (SS-1200-S, SS-

2200-S and SS-4200-S series) are turned off by default - i.e. they are not set up as either inputs or

outputs and are not replicated to any other ports with the exception of the hard-wired inline

taps.

4.2.1 Basic Functionality

Window Size Functionality: The CLI window has a limited number of character spaces available

(24 lines per screen, 80 characters per line). If more data than can fit is presented, the number of

lines is one less and a “—more—” prompt is shown on the last line.

Character Handling: Printable characters (ASCII codes 32-126) and non-printable codes noted

below:

Non-Printable Character Description

<enter key> Executes command; places command in history buffer

<backspace key> Erases previous character entry; removes history buffer entry




Connectivity/Authentication Functionality: Connectivity to the configurable product is made

through the Management RJ45 or Serial DB9 port and authentication is required. This password

protection yields read-only access. To make configuration changes, Superuser (SU) mode must be

accessed with another password.

4.2.2 Initial Login (Default)

4.3 What is that Clicking Noise? – LINKprotect Feature 4.3.1 Definition

The LINKprotect® feature on SINGLEstream taps allows the endpoint devices of tapped links to

quickly identify if link status goes down.

This feature is available to SINGLEstream taps with copper network ports. This feature is not

required on fiber taps, since they are completely passive and the endpoints do not negotiate with

the SINGLEstream.

Note that if LINKprotect® is enabled and the network ports are not connected, the SINGLEstream

will make clicking sounds. The clicking sounds are part of the default configuration of the

LINKprotect® feature, when one or both network ports don’t have link.

Default SINGLEstream Traffic Flow



4.3.2 Normal SINGLEstream Operation

The Taps use an ASIC for tapping the data, and to create copies of the data for tools. When the tap

is powered and connected on both network ports, traffic flows between the ports while passing

through the ASIC.

4.3.3 LINKprotect Example

If link state is lost between the SINGLEstream and the Firewall, network traffic between the

Switch and Firewall will be interrupted.

On a tap without LINKprotect® enabled, the Switch would be unaware that the link has gone

down. This is because the Switch is still linked to the SINGLEstream.

LINKprotect Not Enabled



On a tap with LINKprotect® enabled, the SINGLEstream will notice that the link has been

broken on the Firewall’s side. After a user-configured period of time, a set of relays within the

network port pair will close.

This makes the SINGLEstream temporarily behave like a piece of copper wire, and will allow

each endpoint to directly connect to each other. Since the endpoints will now be directly

connected, the Switch now sees that the link to the Firewall has gone down.

Relay Closing

After the Relay Closes



4.3.4 What happens after the relays close? – Manual Mode

LINKprotect® has two separate modes of configuration: Manual mode and Auto mode. The

mode selected dictates the behavior of the network port pair after the relays have been closed.

Manual Reconnect Mode Flow Diagram

Manual mode:

When the relays close as a result of LINKprotect® activating, the relay will stay closed until the

user initiates a command to the SINGLEstream to reactivate the network ports. Once a failover

occurs in this mode, the monitoring tools connected to the SINGLEstream will not receive

traffic until there is intervention by the user.

The SINGLEstream will not try and resurrect the link in this mode, which is often preferable on

some redundant/HA systems in place on the network devices connected to the SINGLEstream.

See page 6 for an example on recovering the ports once they fail over.



4.3.5 What happens after the relays close? – Auto Mode

Auto Reconnect Mode Flow Diagram

Auto mode:

When the relays close as a result of LINKprotect® activating, the Tap will wait a user-

programmed period of time before attempting to reactivate the network ports. Once a failover

occurs in this mode, the monitoring tools connected to the SINGLEstream will not receive

traffic until link has been re-established on the network ports.

This mode allows the SINGLEstream to keep checking to see if link status has been recovered.

If it detects that the link has been recovered, it will place the network pair back into normal

operation mode and send traffic to the monitoring ports. Both Tap ports may go up/down to

check the link status.



4.3.6 LINKprotect Commands

SET LP 1 on 4 10 auto

Which Tap Pair: This part of the command indicates which Tap pair is being modified. Some

SINGLEstream devices have multiple pairs of Taps.

On/Off: This part of the command determines if the tap pair will have LINKprotect® enabled

or disabled. If the syntax to this part of the command is set to “off” the command can be entered

after this value.

Failover Seconds: This part of the command determines the period of time between one of the

network ports going down and the Tap going into failover state.

Reconnect Seconds: This part of the command determines the timer between each attempt for

the Tap to reconnect to the endpoints. If the tap is unable to reconnect to the endpoints, the timer

starts over. Only available in “Auto” mode.

Auto/Manual: This part of the command determines whether the SINGLEstream attempts to

reconnect to the endpoint devices once it has failed over. In “AUTO” mode the tap will refer to

the “Reconnect Seconds” to determine when it will try to reconnect. In “MANUAL” mode, the

network ports will stay failed over until the user manually inputs the LINKprotect® command

again to reactivate it.

Recover the ports (Manual mode only): In order to bring the ports back online following a

failover, enter the LINKprotect® command again. This is typically done once the link has been

repaired, and monitoring needs to be resumed. See example 3 for the syntax of this command.

Example #1: SET LP 1 on 4 10 AUTO. This command will turn LINKprotect® on for the first

network pair. If one of the two network ports goes down for more than 4 seconds, the port pair

will go into failover state. Every 10 seconds after the failover, the Tap will try and reconnect to

the end devices to see if link is possible.

Example #2: SET LP 1 off. This command will turn LINKprotect® off for the first network

pair.
