vBroker 200 – 240G Modular 10G/1G Family Benefits Gain link-layer visibility and data access across entire network Centralize tools while increasing their reach Flexible access to passive and active inline tools Boost monitoring and security tool efficiency Reduce both CapEx /OpEx through longer tool lifecycles Support network upgrades by load balancing existing tools Quickly provision new tools by eliminating SPAN port contention Centrally, remotely, and/or locally manage network visibility and access
Features Supports 1G and 10G access at full line rates Filtering: hardware-based, user-independent on OSI layers 2-7 (includes custom offset, ingress and egress, and overlapping filters) Session-based/flow-aware load balancing (includes Inner Layer 3 and Layer 4 MPLS and GTP Load Balancing *) vMesh Network Intelligence Optimization System building (stacking) over LANs and WANs vProtector mode for active inline bidirectional traffic access and vProtector functionality Selective Aggregation (any-to-any port mapping) Ports configurable (I/O) for network access or monitor output** Local, remote management: API, CLI, and GUI (HTTP/HTTPS, Telnet/SSH, SNMPv1-3) AAA security (RADIUS, TACACS+) Multi-user access with defined privileges, unique screen views, and management accessibility restrictions Policy-based event triggering and actions VLAN tagging Port and Time Stamping (NTP, GPS, 1PPS, PTP sync)* Conditional packet slicing / trimming by packet type (vSlice™)* Protocol (GTP header, MPLS label, VN tag, and VLAN tag) stripping /de-encapsulation*
Network Packet Brokers VSS Monitoring helps you maximize the return from your network intelligence infrastructure. Using our vBroker™ Series of network packet brokers, you can make better use of your monitoring and security tools, simplify operational complexity and realize a higher ROI from additional cost savings and service quality improvements. VSS vBroker appliances solve a variety of network-related IT challenges in your network and data centers, including improving the link-layer visibility and data access of monitoring and security tools, accelerating the time to diagnose performance problems and security incidents, and making sure CapEx and OpEx costs remain stable as network size and speeds grow. With VSS’ visionary vMesh™ approach to architecture, you get the flexibility and modularity to deploy just the appliances you need and when, with the ability to scale link-layer visibility and data access to a system-level architecture with up to 250 + devices and thousands of ports globally. The business benefits include more flexible capital requirements, higher tool utilization and ROI, and lower operating costs.
Product Description vBroker 200 is VSS’s first fully modular, scalable family of products that bridge the gap between Gigabit and 10 G networks. Both the 1U standard edition and the 2U Expert edition models have eight built-in SFP+ ports. Each model also has four 4- port pluggable modules for up to an additional 16 ports. All twenty-four ports are activated by default. Any port can be designated as an input port or an output port**. The pluggable 4-port modules are available for either Inline or SPAN access. The SFP+ modules’ ports are fully I/O configurable, while the fiber TAP- only modules’ ports are inputs only and are completely passive. For the 2U model, 4-Port PowerSafe fiber chassis module is available. The product is available in two editions: Standard (vBroker 210) and Expert (vBroker 220). This device can be locally managed via a serial console and remotely managed via HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, and SNMPv3. A filter option enables users to select, at the packet level, what traffic is forwarded to the designated monitor ports. Hardware-based, User-Independent Filtering allows traffic to be distinguished according to source and destination MAC/IP address as well as by specific protocols, such as HTTP, VoIP, and others. A custom filter offers more granular specification of a filter, specifically within the payload of a packet. Filters can be ingress, egress, and overlapping.
Microburst measurement for capacity planning (vCapacity™)*
Session-based, Flow-aware Load Balancing increases user control of traffic distribution to monitoring tools, increasing output capacity while maintaining session integrity. For example, a 10G network can be captured and automatically balanced across multiple Gigabit monitoring tools based on user-defined session criteria. Session-based, Flow-aware Load Balancing can operate in tandem with Hardware-Based Filtering or independently.

Product Brief: vBroker 210 / 220 The vProtector mode, available as an add-on software license option, enables the unique active inline capabilities of the VSS Protector Series on the vBroker 200. The vProtector solution on the vBroker 200 comprises vProtector mode option and PowerSafe chassis module(s). The vProtector mode enables vProtector functionality system wide, while the PowerSafe chassis module provides fail-safe capability to ensure no interruption to the inline traffic availability. Able to forward traffic from many network links to one or many active tools, and provide service/tool chaining.
in a redundant, low-latency mesh for total, dynamic, fault-tolerant visibility. vBroker Series products can also fully interoperate with Distributed, Finder, and Protector Series products via vStack+.
The vBroker 220 has additional hardware resources available to be built into each pluggable 4-port Expert edition chassis module for features including time & port stamping, protocol stripping, vSlice, vCapacity, and WAN system building (vMesh over IP). Options also extend Load Balancing to inner layer 3 and 4 packets headers, in MPLS or GTP encapsulation, vIndex, and vSpool.
Redundant power supplies allow seamless transitions between power systems and ensure uptime. NEBS compliant vBroker 200 Standard and Expert models are available with hot-swappable power supplies, fans, and air filters.
VSS’ vBroker Series of products also provide automated event driven monitor output traffic direction and responses (Syslog messages, SNMP traps, light front LED, deactivate ports) with five user-definable trigger event types.
All VSS managed devices support field software updates for additional features and performance enhancements. The vBroker 200 family also supports updating of the FPGA firmware in the field.
All vBroker Series products support VSS’ proprietary intelligent stacking technology, vStack+, which enables traffic capture devices to be deployed
