Semptian Co. Ltd. FC7000 User Manual

Targeting backbone net data collection and mobile internet high-density link data collection, Semptian launched the 
FC7000.A148 high-density tap. FC7000.A148 adopts 1U rack-mounted structure, 583mm*444mm*44.4mm (depth*width*height),  
supports 10G/25G/100G input and output. The whole machine owns 2600G input and output (the throughput can be up to 3.2T 
through access to expansion card). It can be widely used in such scenarios as data collection, splitting, filtering, and copy 
processing.

FC7000.A148 provides such core capabilities as ultra-high interface density, high-speed processing performance, and low 
latency, able to undertake high-density link data acquisition access tasks, and provide customers with accurate traffic splitting 
and filtering functions as well, in order to provide users expandable cost-effective business value-added solutions.

FC7000.A148 single board features are described as follows:
•   

a. Provide 48*10GE interfaces, all compatible with 25GE interface;       
b. Provide 14*100GE interfaces, all compatible with 25GE/40GE/50GE interfaces, each 100GE interface can be split into four 10GE 
interfaces.
•  

 Along the provision of high-density interface, the equipment can process service flow at full line-rate, to 

provide protection for the convergence and processing of large flow data.
•  

As a traffic access device, FC7000.A148 can either make 1: N copy of the original traffic on the input interface, or 1: N copy of 

the processed traffic on the output interface side, to provide a flexible and convenient means of access for the traffic to be 
simultaneously used by multiple downstream devices. The same interface can be placed in a copy interface group, or simultaneously 
in a load balanced HASH interface group, to meet the complex field application scenarios.
•   

The device classifies the traffic according to the flexible combination of such aspects as IP nine-tuple, the 

message characteristics, the string content and the input interface of the incoming traffic, and carries out the in-depth processing on 
specific types of messages and policy output according to the result of traffic classification.
•  

FC7000.A148 has the capability of intelligent detection and back-end server link status. If the interface 

chain of the load balancing interface group is broken, the device outputs the traffic load of the interface to other interfaces of the 
interface group to avoid huge loss of data.
•  

 Single fiber: 

FC7000.A148 can achieve single-fiber connection in the link of interface, and then the same optical interface can 

achieve rx, tx separation; a single optical interface rx, tx can get access to different devices, greatly improving the available port 
density.
•  

 FC7000.A148 has a flexible load balancing output algorithm, develops a load balancing algorithm according to user 

needs, support different interface groups to configure different HASH ways simultaneously to ensure the integrity of the session and 
user integrity.
