ExProbe8580E is specifically designed for inline tools flow. It serves as a 1/10/25/40/100GE Ethernet network packet broker, offering high port density, inline link protection, diverse working modes, flexible deployment with exceptional performance, and convenient management and maintenance capabilities. It is highly adaptable to various application environments. ExProbe8580E provides 4 inline 10GE ports, 44  1/10/25GE ports, and 8 100GE ports that can be flexibly configured as data input or output ports.

The ExProbe8580E network packet broker can be connected to two inline 10GE links while ensuring network operation through its built-in optical link protector. The device efficiently distributes link data to twelve sets of tools by implementing load balancing based on sessions and seamlessly connecting to network tools. Additionally, ExProbe8580E simultaneously forwards traffic to the passive analysis tool. It supports data marking on multiple ports, aggregation, filtering, copying to multiple outputs or load balancing outputs; it also offers advanced processing functions such as packet de-duplication, masking, slicing, and stripping.

By integrating optical protectors, splitters, filtering analysis devices, and load balancers into one solution, the ExProbe8580E network packet broker provides a convenient and efficient means of accessing and collecting data for network performance analysis tools, application analysis tools, and various other tools.
