The PacketLion NX-PBPL-1S is a purpose-built network packet broker designed for use in top-of-rack applications and network perimeter use. The system can be used to optimize port utilization of existing infrastructure, or as a stand-alone device in L2-L4 filtering applications. To ensure seamless integration into your monitoring infrastructure, all PacketLions offer a full API interface using NETCONF.
There are no additional license fees per port and the device is compatible with MSA compliant SFP+ or QSFP+ pluggables / transceivers. Flexible port speeds (port splitting) for the 6 additional QSFP+ ports can be scaled according to network requirements (10G) and can be changed within the interface.
