SmartNA-XL™
10/40G Hybrid Network Packet BrokerThe SmartNA-XL™ 10/40G Hybrid Network Packet Broker The SmartNA-XL™ 1/10/40G modular TAP & Packet Broker, delivers high-speed performance and flexibility. It meets the needs of managing tools that protect network infrastructure, secure information, and combat ever-changing network threats.
With five slots to integrate a variety of Ethernet TAP modules in a modular 1RU chassis, the SmartNA-XL™ safely connects tools while preserving network reliability and availability. Even in case of power failure, network traffic continues to flow, establishing the SmartNA-XL™ as the clear leader in network access and visibility. Advanced features like aggregation, filtering, load balancing, and port mapping reduce planning, configuration, and tool management time.
Network Critical’s SmartNA-XL™ empowers organizations to securely, efficiently, and reliably manage the flow of information. Even during power failures, network traffic persists, reinforcing the SmartNA-XL™ as the leader in network access and visibility. The modular, customizable TAP modules, with a total of twenty 1/10/40Gbps SFP/SFP+ ports, offer versatility by providing network input and tool connection ports anywhere on the system.
An Introduction to Drag-n-Vu™
Connecting a variety of network monitoring and security tools that perform different functions and require varying subsets of network data is complicated. Even relatively simple tools like firewalls are easily misconfigured.
Manually configuring what goes into these tools and what comes out is a painfully slow, error-prone task. Mistakes in filter hierarchies or port assignments can create security vulnerabilities and service interruptions.
With Drag-n-Vu™, the painstaking planning, computation and detailed input requirements are removed. You now have complete control and visibility at your fingertips. Creating filters and mapping data to input and output ports is as easy as dragging the cursor over a graphical port representation and clicking.

Chasis
The SmartNA-X / XL 1U chassis is one of the most flexible and feature-rich platforms on the market. It supports up to 4 + 1 modules within a single 1U space and can simultaneously accommodate both Network TAP and NPB modules.
SmartNA-X Front ViewSmartNA-XL Front View
The SmartNA-X / XL 1U chassis supports up to eight TAP links, allowing traffic to be aggregated and filtered before being replicated to one or more monitoring ports. It can also copy traffic from a single TAP or multiple network source ports to as many as 14 monitoring ports. Each TAP module can be fully configured to perform input aggregation, replication, distribution, packet filtering, and output forwarding, as well as load balancing across multiple output ports. The chassis includes a dedicated MGMT (OAM) management interface that supports both Web GUI and Telnet CLI operation, along with an independent Console port for convenient device management. -
