Iris Packet Brokers (IPBs) enable you to more effectively utilize your existing Tektronix Communications monitoring solutions, simplify operational complexity, and realize a higher ROI from additional cost savings and service quality improvements. IPB intelligent stacking technology, vMesh, enables traffic capture devices to be deployed in a redundant, low-latency mesh for total, dynamic, fault-tolerant visibility.

Iris Packet Broker Introduction

With the visionary vMesh approach to architecture, you get the flexibility and modularity to deploy just the appliances you need, when you need them, with the ability to scale link-layer visibility and data access to a system-level architecture with up to 256 ports globally. The business benefits include more flexible capital requirements, high tool utilization and ROI, and lower operating costs.

Designed specifically to address high bandwidth inter

faces and datacenter applications, the NEBS compliant Iris Packet Broker (IPB) features a scalable, modular architecture that bridges the gap between 1 GigE, 10 GigE, and 40 GigE networks. They also provide all of the intelligent network packet functionality on a large scale. Each model supports a maximum of four SFP+ chassis modules or that support different features, port densities, and port speeds up to a maximum line rate throughput of 240 Gbps for the IPB220 series and 640 Gbps for the IPB420. Additionally, ports and features are enabled as they are needed by license key. Any port can be designated as an ingress/input or an egress/output port.

Hardware-based filtering a

llows traffic to be distinguished according to source and destination MAC/IP address as well as by specific protocols, such as HTTP, VoIP, GTP, and LTE. A custom filter offers more granular specification of a filter with the payload of a packet. Filters can be ingress, egress, and overlapping.

All IPB models support symmetrical L2 to L4 load balanc

ing. Session aware load balancing is provided by TD140. Select IPB models have optional features including port stamping, time stamping, and microburst protection. To feed third party tools, select IPB models have optional features including protocol/tag stripping (GTP, VLAN, MPLS) and conditional packet slicing.

All IPB models support a connection between multiple unit

s which enables up to 256 ports at a single site. In addition, IPB can be deployed in a redundant, low-latency mesh for total, dynamic fault-tolerant visibility. Select IPB models have an option to support inter-connected IPBs over a LAN or WAN using TCP which enables backhaul of traffic from remote sites to a central monitoring location. To protect against data attacks during backhaul, secure data encryption (AES) is supported. Redundant hot-swappable power supplies, fans and air filters allow seamless transitions between power systems and ensure uptime.

IPBs are an add-on to TD140 deployments; they do not replace TD140s.

IPB BENEFITS

The IPB provides the following benefits:

 Gain link-layer visibility and data access across entire network  Centralize tools while increasing their reach  Quickly provision new tools by eliminating SPAN port contention  Higher port density with flexibility in speed and media

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

The IPBs must be installed in a four-post 19” rack. The IPB can tip and fall causing injury or damage if it is unbalanced or if it becomes unbalanced in its physical location in a rack.

Perform the following steps to rack mount the IPB unit.

Step Action

1. Install the two front-mount brackets at the front of the chassis and the two rear-mount

brackets at the rear of the chassis (Figure 3.1).

 Use the mounting brackets and screws included with the IPB for attaching the

unit’s weight during deployment. Also be sure to balance the IPB as you install it into the rack. If it becomes unbalanced, it can tip and fall, causing injury to you or others.

Figure 3.1 - Installing IPBs (4-Post Rack)

2. Connect the power cabling:

 Refer to IPB Power and Heat Specifications for power details.  AC: Connect the IPB AC cables into the AC power supplies on the rear of the IPB

unit and to the rack power outlet. Do not turn on the power switch.

 DC: IPB DC units must connect to a fuse panel. Refer to Fuse Panel Power Cabling

(DC Units Only) for details.

Tektronix Communications | For Licensed Users | Unauthorized Duplication and Distribution Prohibited

FUSE PANEL POWER CABLING (DC UNITS ONLY)

After the power cabling is connected to the IPB, connect the equipment power cabling to the fuse panel. This applies to DC units only. The IPB connects to the fuse panel that contains two separate circuits: A and B. The maximum output loading of the Fuse Panel is 100A per side (A and B). In each circuit, current flows from the input through the fuse bus. When you install a fuse in a fuse holder, it completes the circuit to the output connector. When a fuse fails, it sends a fail signal to the Fuse Fail Alarm circuit.

Connect all cabling on the IPB before connecting the cables to the Fuse Panel to minimize risk of electrical hazard. Do not connect more than six components to a single fuse panel. Make sure not to exceed the maximum current per each side of the fuse panel.

Please note the following when wiring the IPB to the fuse panel:

 Use input wire size appropriate for the total output loading of the fuse panel. For 100A input use

at least #2 AWG wire.

 An input branch circuit protector (fuse or circuit breaker) must be provided and rated to meet

local codes and installation requirements. For a 100A input, use a 125A protector or as directed by local codes.

 A switch or means to disconnect from the input must be provided in the building installation

which is easily accessible and identified as the disconnect device.

Perform the following steps to connect the IPBs to the fuse panel.

IPB Installation

Step Action

1. Refer to Figure 3.2 and the following bullets and connect each power feed for the IPB to

the Fuse Panel. Refer to the Terminal and Wiring Recommendations for additional wiring and lug recommendations.

CONNECTING IPB NETWORK PORTS

Cabling IPB ingress and egress ports is dictated by the specific features installed on the chassis modules. Because installed features can vary per chassis module, it is very important to ensu re proper cabling. Contact Tektronix Communications for assistance in cabling the IPB network ports.

IPB Egress ports must connect directly to G10 probes, TD140 load balancers, and SpIprobes (no router/ switch in between.)

Connect each device to its corresponding ingress or egress port on the IPB. For copper SFP ports, either stra

ight-through or crossover cables can be used since the IPB has Auto-MDI/X. The corresponding link

status LEDs should turn on when the cable is plugged in.
