PacketLion 1S2 Aggregation Packet Broker

The PacketLion Model 1S2 is a versatile and high-performance 1U Network Packet Broker purpose-built for high-density 1G to 100G visibility use cases. Equipped with 48 x 1G/10G SFP+ ports and 6 x 40G/100G QSFP28 ports, it also supports 12 x 10G/25G/50G via fan-out, delivering line-rate, lossless performance across mixed-speed environments. Powered by 1.08Tbps throughput and 32MB buffer, it ensures non-blocking architecturelow-latency delivery, and resilience via N+1 redundancy.

Advanced capabilities include L2–L4 packet filteringload balancingMAC replacementpacket slicingMPLS stripping (up to 7 labels), and nanosecond timestamping per port or per filter rule. Support for tunneling protocols like L2GRE and VXLAN, along with stacking for up to 99 units, makes 1S2 a robust aggregation and inline security node. Flexible port mapping (1:1, N:1, N:N, 1:N) and tool chaining enhance visibility and simplify scaling in complex environments.

The PacketLion 1S2 integrates easily into security workflows by providing real-time delivery to IDS, IPS, NDR, and SIEM tools, and supports Active Inline and Bypass deployment modes. Management is streamlined via a unified interface, including CLI, SNMP, SSH, Web UI, REST API, and NetConf, plus console and RJ45 management ports. With 4+1 hot-swappable fans, and centralized control through NEOX PacketDirector, the PacketLion 1S2 is an ideal mid-range solution for intelligent traffic visibility, threat detection, and network observability at scale. Shop PacketLion Model 1S2
