X2-6400G Network Packet Broker

Next-Generation Network Packet Broker

Packet Slicing, GTP IP Filtering, Timestamping

The Profitap X2-6400G is a Next-Generation Network Packet Broker (NGNPB) with a total throughput of 6.4 Tbps. It offers an extensive set of features, such as packet slicing, GTP IP filtering, ERSPAN tunneling & de-tunneling, packet deduplication, and timestamping.

X2-6400G NGNPB provides aggregation, replication, powerful filtering and load balancing in very high bandwidth port monitoring and analysis scenarios. The processing of these features is done at wirespeed in the data plane; data does not have to be forwarded to a co-processor, resulting in no added latency. X2-6400G also features non-conflicting rules creation, meaning all rules are active in parallel with each other, which ensures no conflict between new and existing rules can happen and saves time setting up new rules.

Network Packet Brokers optimize the performance of network analysis and security tools by delivering filtered traffic of interest, helping you solve application performance bottlenecks and troubleshoot problems on the network.

Network packet broker features

X2-Manager Overview

X2-Manager is a web-based interface that allows the user to configure and monitor the behavior of X2-Series devices. Designed with user experience and ease of use in mind, advanced configuration settings can be set and applied quickly and easily.

This web-based interface allows easy access from any OS or platform.

Device Status

Device status offers a quick overview of operational statistics related to the packet broker hardware. Measured temperatures are recorded with a history of 72 hours, to allow filtering back in time on temperature statistics.

Port Management

Port management offers an instant overview of port status and speed. Users control the configuration of all QSFP modules, where each module offers additional information in the specific status section.

Port Statistics

Port statistics displays and monitors the statistics counter for each of the device interfaces. Users can view or export this information for a later analysis. It is also possible to easily compare the traffic bandwidth on each port.

Traffic Management

Define how the traffic will flow through the device interfaces. Using a direct control interface, users are able to define aggregation, duplication, and filtering rules. Advanced actions can be defined to manipulate the traffic, adding label information, or stripping undesired headers.
