THE LARGEST IXIA RESELLER

NGY 8-port 10GE, 800MHz, 1GB, Extra Performance. Includes 10GBASE-T version. 

 

The architectural breakthrough of Ixia’s 10 Gigabit Ethernet LSM10GXM test load modules delivers an industry-leading, high-density, affordable layer 2 through 7, 10 Gigabit Ethernet IP test solution. The NGY family supports both low port count layer 2/3 applications with limited project budgets and highest density test lab, QA, and system test applications. NGY is perfect for both high-density converged data center infrastructure testing and high density 10 GE switch test beds. NGY load modules leverage Ixia’s converged data center test applications to NGY offer the highest port scalability, virtual scalability, protocol coverage, and the most affordable test solution available for data communications testing. 

Ixia’s NGY solution provides four times the 10 GE port density of Ixia’s nearest competitor. NGY offers a greener testing alternative when used with the Ixia XM12 high performance or XG12 rackmount chassis – it requires one-quarter of the laboratory space, consumes one-half the power, and generates lower heat compared to other test solutions. NGY comes in 2-port, 4-port and 8-port configurations, with extra performance, full performance, and reduced performance models to match your requirements and budget. No other vendor’s 10 GE data communications test solution offers a wider range of price options, interfaces, and capabilities.

Ixia’s extra performance (XP) NGY load modules (LSM10GM8XP, 4XP and 2XP) deliver higher control plane performance and scalability for both layer 3 routing protocol emulation and upper layer 4-7 stateful traffic testing. The XP series of ports use an XFP interface, and provide a small premium over the full featured models by allowing you to meet your demands for high performance and scale without undue pressure on your budget.

The XP’s capabilities are mirrored in the full performance SFP+ (LSM10GXM8S, 4S, 2S) and 10GBASE-T (LSM10GXM8GBT, 4GBT, 2GBT) interface versions of the load modules.

The NGY series of modules provides the industry’s highest density 10 Gigabit Ethernet test solution, with up to 96 ports of 10GE test ports in a single XM12 High Performance chassis.

Ixia’s high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet load modules are available with a reduced performance option. The reduced performance option provides limited layer 3 routing emulation and control plane performance, coupled with complete layer 2 and 3 data plane testing. When physical port scalability and efficient use of lab facilities are critical, the LSM10GXMR8, MR4, and the highly economical MR2 reduced feature load modules are the most affordable 10 GE test solution available for manufacturing and large port count test beds.

A broad portfolio of enterprise, data center Ethernet, storage area networks, metropolitan-edge, and core network test solutions are supported, including performance, scalability, and conformance testing of layer 2-3 devices. Data and control planes may be simultaneously tested, including routing protocols and stateful testing of layer 4-7 content-aware devices and networks.

The 10 GE NGY load module family supports a comprehensive portfolio of service testing solutions for next generation service provider networks, through the IxNetwork test application including:

Note:

¹All NGY 10GBASE-T load modules with the “-02_ model number suffix require IxOS 6.30EA SP1 as the minimum version: LSM10GXM2GBT-02, (944-0074), LSM10GXMR2GBT-02, (944-0075), LSM10GXM4GBT-02, (944-0076), LSM10GXMR4GBT-02, (944-0077), LSM10GXM8GBT-02, (944-0078), LSM10GXMR8GBT-02, (944-0079.

² XM12 High Performance chassis (941-0009) is required for 80 or more ports of 10 GbE NGY XFP or SFP+ 8-port, load modules to be installed in a single chassis. A field replaceable power supply upgrade kit (943-0005) is available for the XM12 chassis (941-0002) to convert it to the high-performance version. Up to ten 8-port NGY 10GBASE-T full performance load modules are supported in an XM12 High Performance chassis, and up to eight 8-port NGY 10GBASE-T full performance load modules are supported in a standard XM12 chassis). The XM2 chassis (941-0003) supports up to twelve ports of 10GBASE-T full performance load modules.

³The LSM10GXM8XP/4XP/2XP load modules do not support transceivers that consume more than 2.5 watts of power per port. The LSM10GXM8S/4S/2S load modules do not support transceivers that consume more than 2.0 watts of power per port.

⁴ The LSM10GXM8XP, LSM10GXM8S, and LSM10GXM8GBT use a high performance 800MHz processor with additional layer 2 cache.

⁵For 10GBASE-T interfaces on NGY the ppm does change the data rate, but does not change the bit period due to phy chip limitations.

⁶ When an NGY load module is installed in an XM12 chassis, the maximum operating temperature of the chassis is 35^oC (ambient air).

⁷ The 948-0011 XFP-CX4 transceiver for 10GBASE-CX4 may only be used in every other port of an NGY load module due to mechanical port-to-port centerline layout restrictions in the module faceplate.

⁸ The 948-0015 SFP+ transceiver for 10GBASE-LRM only supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet in LAN mode.
