Some Cisco SwitchProbe devices require a TX tap to monitor the network in full-duplex mode. One TX tap kit is included with the device.
This document provides instructions for connecting a Fast Ethernet Full-Duplex TX tap to a SwitchProbe device. The TX tap is passive—link integrity is maintained whether the device is on
or off.
The Fast Ethernet Full-Duplex TX tap kit consists of the following items:
The Fast Ethernet Full-Duplex TX tap (Figure 1) contains two Network ports (Net A and Net B) and two Probe ports (Probe A and Probe B).
To connect the full-duplex 100BaseTX ports of the Fast Ethernet SwitchProbe device to two switches, see Figure 2 and follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect a category 5 UTP straight-through cable into one of the two RJ-45 100BaseTX ports on the SwitchProbe Fast Ethernet interface.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the category 5 UTP cable into the port labeled Probe A on the Fast Ethernet tap.
Step 3 Connect a category 5 UTP straight-through cable into the other RJ-45 100BaseTX port on the same Fast Ethernet interface.
Step 4 Connect the other end of the category 5 UTP cable into the port labeled Probe B on the Fast Ethernet tap.
Step 5 Connect a category 5 UTP straight-through cable into the port labeled Network A on the Fast Ethernet tap.
Step 6 Connect the other end of the category 5 UTP cable into Switch 1.
Step 7 Connect a category 5 UTP straight-through cable into the port labeled Network B on the Fast Ethernet tap.
Step 8 Connect the other end of the category 5 UTP cable into Switch 2.
Step 9 Connect the power cord to the back of the Fast Ethernet tap.
Step 10 Connect the power cord to an appropriate power source.
