## Description

Ethernet TAP (Test Access Port) for 10, 100 and 1000Base-T links

Review: Needed Improvements Have Been Implemented - Now SharkTap Gigabit Sniffer Performs Well - -- MAR 21 -- midBit Technologies located & remedied a couple issues that may have led to previous problems (ie. see below). I was given the opportunity to test the newer version and found it to be quite good, as one should expect. I found it to be dependable and reliable under extensive testing. At this price-point, the gigabit network sniffer is a remarkable product. It operates on high-speed Ethernet links to permit monitoring of bi-directional communications. When one compares this unit with products costing many times more, there are 2 features that seem to not be on this device. 1-When power is removed from this tap, the through-communication stops. Many pricier taps will establish a data-pass-through when power fails. 2-Some expensive taps are categorized as aggregating, which is to say that they can buffer frames destined for the tap port when through-data flows are higher than the tap data port can handle. These overflow events are usually short-lived, but if not supported sufficiently, can lead to the tap port missing some of the through-data frames. I suspect that a buffer does exist in this device, but that it is not deep enough to consider this device as aggregating. I truly believe that this 10/100/1G product, as well as midBit's 10/100 product, are fine devices and worthy of being part of any serious network analyzer's tool kit. -- FEB 17 -- Great Idea! But bad implementation. I had previously bought 1 of the 10/100 taps and remain pleased with its performance. At the time I bought it, the 10/100 was the only model available. With the introduction of the 10/100/1G model late in 2015, I bought 2 in February, since it would allow our wired network to run at full speed. I was wary, though, as one of the two reviews (at that time) indicated that the device breaks after a few hours. However, I rationalized that this negative review came from either a single bad event or from someone with an axe to grind. Not so. In our setup we put one tap on the connection between our ISP and our router/UTM, and installed the other tap on the internal side of our router/UTM. Both units failed to act as taps after a small number of hours and one of the two units lost its ability to support the highest throughput speed of 1G. I hope the manufacturer is able to produce a product with the features advertised for this tap, but until a fix is released, it is best to use the earlier model 10/100. Praise to desertcart for its return policies.
Review: Must have for every response kit and as a research\learning tool... - I bought one as soon as it came on the market. I also had issues with the device slowing the overall network traffic. I worked with the developer and after the problem was identified, it was immediately corrected. As of 12/2015 these issues were corrected and the issues related to the device negatively down-throttling traffic was fixed and should no longer be an issue. Besides making a good product I would also like to say that midBit Technologies, LLC was more than willing to work through the initial problem and is a great company. I was pleasantly surprised with the company's quick response and professionalism. This device is great and works 100% as intended. This is not intended to replace or function as a $500+ network tap does. If you know this and understand what this device is and its intended use-cases, then I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

## Features

- The SharkTap is a special purpose 10/100/1000Base-T ethernet device that allows you to 'tap into' an ethernet connection. It is intended to be used with the free Wireshark protocol analyzer or equivalent.
- Conventional switches route packets only to the intended destination port, reducing traffic but preventing a third port from seeing all packets. The SharkTap duplicates all packets to or from the Network ports to the TAP port.
- Supports 10, 100 and 1000Base-T, all ports. Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) pass-through.
- Powered from a USB-B cable (included), draws 350mA or less.
- Other features: Auto-MDIX, so no crossover cables ever needed. Non-conductive enclosure for lab work. Will NOT route packets from TAP to Network ports.
- copper repeater technology ("carbon copy"). Byte accurate, 'zero delay', protocol agnostic

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this manufactured?**
A: They are assembled in USA, in New Jersey.

**Q: How can this possibly work properly with only a single output jack? ethernet is full duplex - to see traffic both ways you need 2 outputs.**
A: This works the same as a bi-directional port mirror on a switch, which depending on switch manufacturer, can take various amounts of CPU resources from the switch to process.  Having the SharkTap takes that load off of the switch, and is essentially an aggregate port tap with 1 monitor port.   This is similar in use to the Ixia Net Optics 10/100/1Gb Copper port Aggregator, https://www.ixiacom.com/products/tap-aggregators, which has 2 monitor ports.   Currently we are using the SharkTap to mirror all traffic going to an Internet firewall.  This mirrored traffic is examined on a Linux server running NTOP professional, http://www.ntop.org.  This gives real-time stats of transmit and receive top talkers and flow information by end station, and allows packet captures to dump files that are reviewed with WireShark.  Essentially it is an effective, low cost NetScout without all of the bells and whistles.

**Q: why i can't buy this product from spain? i'm really interested to buy it and connect to ELK on my network but i don't found any alternative**
A: Amazon does now ship this product to Spain.

**Q: Is the monitoring port bidirectional?**
A: Packets that come to the TAP on the monitoring port are discarded.  So no packets can get to the Network ports from the TAP itself.  The monitor port will auto-negotiate as a full-duplex link, at the link level, but no data is accepted on the monitoring port, only sent out from the SharkTap.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential kit for any network engineer
*by D***A on April 18, 2021*

This has become a permanant part of my networking road kit. It's one of those things you don't need very often, but when you do there isn't anything that is as fast to deploy, works perfectly and can even be run off a battery pack when in a spot. I used it with Wireshark and it's worked perfectly, every time. The unit is small and light so it doesn't take up much room in your kit. Highly recommended.
