SS-1200-S, SS-2200-S and SS-4200-S Series Link Aggregating Taps50

4.5 Exercise - CLI Setting Ports
PREMISE: The configurable SINGLEstream series' allow multiple network devices/tools to
receive the combined data of multiple Ethernet network segments. The SINGLEstream series has
hard-wired in-line network taps. However, any of the remaining Any-to-Any ports can be
configured as shown in this exercise and additional examples are shown in the 'Application SS-
1200-S series and SS-2200-S series ' section.
GOAL/SOLUTION: The exercise for the setup of a SS-1210BT-BT/SFP-S shown is as follows:
Ports 1 and 2 are a hard-wired in-line tap.
Ports 3 and 4 are a hard-wired in-line tap
Port 5 has been setup to output data to a Network IDS from Port 4’s input.
Port 6 has been setup to output aggregated data to a Probe from Port 3 and 4’s inputs.
Port 7 has been setup to output data to a Network IDS from Port 1’s input and returns TCP
resets from the Network IDS.
Port 8 has been setup to output data to a Network IDS from Port 2’s input and returns TCP
resets from the Network IDS.
Port 9 has been setup to output aggregated data to a Network IDS from Port 1 and 2’s inputs/
outputs and returns TCP resets from the Network IDS.
Port 10 has been setup to output aggregated data to a Probe from Port 1, 2, 3, and 4’s inputs.
NOTE: Port 9’s Network IDS’s network interface card (NIC) can handle both sides of the
network conversation at once. Port 7 and 8’s Network IDS’s network interface cards cannot
handle the whole conversation at once and must use two separate NICs for each side of the
conversation. It can be setup either way to fit your network devices/tools’ requirements.
