Director
The inputs are divided into three groups: two DNMs plus the 10GbE ports. In-line DNM models support 6 in-line links,
while Span DNM models support 12 Span ports. The diagram shows one in-line and one Span DNM. Both in-line and
Span DNMs are available with either Copper or SX Fiber interfaces. Different DNM types can be mixed in the same
chassis, for example, one in-line Copper DNM and one Span Fiber DNM. The modules are hot-pluggable for easy
serviceability. One or both DNM slots can be populated. The DNM slots are numbered 1 for the slot on the left and 2
for the slot on the right. If only one slot is populated, it should be slot 1.
The two congurable 10-Gigabit XFP ports are shown in the rst two columns and last two rows of the diagram. The
two dark black rows indicate that both ports are congured as Span inputs. The two dimmed columns indicate that the
ports can alternately be congured as Monitor ports. The two ports may be congured as:
Both Span•
Both Monitor•
One Span and one Monitor•
USB port
A USB port located on the back is reserved for future functionality.
Director Management
Director can be congured and managed using a command-line interface (CLI) that will be familiar to most network
administrators. The CLI runs locally over an RS-232 serial port or remotely over a secure SSH connection.
Net Optics GUI-based Compass management tools, which will be available soon, include:
Web Manager• —A Web-browser based tool to manage a single Director (at a time) from anywhere in the world
System Manager• —An SNMP platform-based tool to mange all the Director and other Net Optics iTap-enabled
