Just take the two outputs from the tap and plug them into two passive
ports on the G. The G will recombine the traffic internally before it
inspects it.

Subject: [ISSForum] Network taps for monitoring full-duplex network
withProventia G2000
I am considering deploying a G2000 which will eventually go inline but
will probably start in passive IDS mode. In the interim, is it possible
to deploy it to passively monitor a full duplex network segment with a
standard NetOptics network tap? It seems to me that it must be possible
for the appliance to accept each of the two cables from the tap and
perform some intelligent re-ordering and aggregation of those streams in
such a way that packets avoid being dropped. Am I understanding this
problem correctly and if so, is this functionality built into the
appliance?
Incidentally, I've looked at various aggregation taps on the market, but
since they aggregate all traffic onto one wire, then they can't handle
more than 1Gbps into the IDS -- whereas a full-duplex link could be up
to 2Gbps max theoretical.
Thanks for any insight, Jim.
