1.0 PREFACE

Introduction The installation of the Endace DAG 4.3GE card on a PC begins with

installing the operating system and the Endace software. This is followed

by fitting the card and connecting the ports.

Viewing this

document This document, DAG 4.3GE Card User Manual is available on the

installation CD.

In this chapter This chapter covers the following sections of information.

•User Manual Purpose

•DAG 4.3GE Card Product Description

•DAG 4.3GE Card Architecture

•DAG 4.3GE Card Extended Functions

•DAG 4.3GE Card System Requirements

1.1 User Manual Purpose

Description The purpose of this DAG 4.3GE Card User Manual is to describe:

•Installing DAG 4.3GE Card

•Setting Optical Power

•Confidence Testing

•Running Data Capture Software

•Synchronizing Clock Time

•Data Formats Overview

Pre-requisite This document presumes the DAG card is being installed in a PC already

configured with an operating system.

A copy of the Debian Linux 3.1 (Sarge) is available as a bootable ISO

image on one of the CD's shipped with the DAG card.

To install on the Linux/FreeBSD operating system, follow the instructions

in the document EDM04.05-01r1 Linux FreeBSD Installation Manual,

packaged in the CD shipped with the DAG card.

To install on a Windows operating system, follow the instructions in the

document EDM04.05-02r1 Windows Installation Manual, packaged in the

CD shipped with the DAG card

1.2 DAG 4.3GE Card Product Description

Description The DAG 4.3GE card is a PCI-X bus card designed for cell and packet

capture and generation on Ethernet networks.

Figure Figure 1-1 shows the DAG 4.3GE PCI-X card.

Figure 1-1. DAG 4.3GE PCI-X Card.

The DAG 4.3GE card collects packet header and payload from Ethernet

networks and is protocol independent. Full packet capture at line rate

allows recording of all header information and/or payload with a high

precision timestamp.

The DAG 4.3GE is capable of transmitting packets at 100% line rate on

both ports while simultaneously receiving packets at 100% line rate on

both ports.

1.3 DAG 4.3GE Card Architecture

Description Serial Ethernet optical network data received by two 1000baseSX optical

interfaces flow into an Ethernet Framer ASIC then immediately into the

Field-Programmable Gate Array [FPGA].

The FPGA contains an Endace DAG Universal Clock Kit [DUCK]

timestamp engine, packet record processor, and PCI-X interface logic.

Because of component close association, packets or cells are time-stamped

accurately. Time stamped packet records are stored in an external FIFO

memory before transmission to the host.

1.4 DAG 4.3GE Card Extended Functions

Description The DAG 4.3GE card is equipped with a coprocessor connector which can

be used with the optional Endace DAG Coprocessor as a data processing

tool.

The IP packet classification specifications are:

•Packets are classified by TCP/IP header fields and/or payload

content.

•Up to 16,384 TCP/IP header classification rules. Up to ~2,000

arbitrary payload search strings.

•Classification rules are assigned a user-defined 16-bit identifier

•Packets matching classification rules are assigned the matching

rule's identifier.

•Programmable actions may be associated with each rule identifier.

For example, The packet should either be dropped, retransmitted to

the network, or presented to the host.

•Packets presented to the host include the rule-match identifier in the

record header.

1.5 DAG 4.3GE Card System Requirements

Description The DAG 4.3GE card and associated data capture system minimum

operating requirements are:

•PC, at least Intel Xeon 1.8GHz or faster

•Intel E7500, ServerWorks Grand Champion LE/HE, or newer chip

set

•256 MB RAM

•At least one free PCI-X 1.0 slot supporting 66-133MHz operation

•Software distribution free space of 30MB

Operating

system For convenience, the Debian 3.1 [Sarge] Linux system is included on the

Endace Software Install CD. Endace currently supports Windows XP,

Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, FreeBSD, RHEL 3.0, and

Debian Linux operating systems.

Different

system For advice on using a system substantially different from that specified

above, contact Endace support at [email protected]

2.0 INSTALLING DAG 4.3GE CARD

Introduction The DAG 4.3GE card can be installed in any free PCI-X 1.0 slot. It will

operate at 66, 100, or 133MHz PCI-X mode, however it will not operate

correctly in 32 or 64-bit PCI slots.

Higher speed slots are recommended for best performance.

The DAG 4.3GE should be the only device on the PCI-X bus if possible

as the cards make very heavy use of PCI-X bus data transfer resources.

Although the driver supports up to four DAG cards by default in one

system, due to bandwidth limitations there should not be more than one

card on a single PCI-X bus.

In this section This section covers the following topics of information.

•Installation of Operating System and Endace Software

•Insert DAG 4.3GE Card into PC

•DAG 4.3GE Card Port Connectors

•Pluggable Optical Transceivers

2.1 Installation of Operating System and Endace Software

Description If the DAG device driver is not installed, before proceeding with the next

chapter, install the software by following the instructions in EDM04-01

Linux/FreeBSD Installation Guide.

To install the software on a Windows operating system, follow the

instructions in EDM04-02 Windows Installation Guide.

Go to the next chapter of information when the DAG device driver is

installed.

2.2 Insert DAG 4.3GE Card into PC

Description Inserting the DAG 4.3GE card into a PC involves accessing the PCI-X bus

slot, fitting the card, and secure the bus slot screw.

Procedure Follow these steps to insert the DAG 4.3GE card.

Step 1. Access bus Slot

Power computer down.

Remove PCI-X bus slot cover.
