Hardware Extensions for PacketShaper | Blue Coat Systems
Hardware Extensions
With Blue Coat hardware extensions, you can deploy PacketShaperTM into a wider variety of topologies, extend
bypass to optical interfaces and use a single PacketShaper for multiple LANs.
LAN Expansion Modules (LEM)
Create flexible deployment options for complex topologies with additional
PacketShaper network interfaces.
- Up to two LEM slots-each with a pair of interfaces-available for PacketShaper
models 2500, 4500, 6500, 8500, 9500 and 10000.
- Gigabit and fiber-optic LEMs available for PacketShaper models 6500, 8500, 9500
and 10000.
Memory Upgrade Kit
Packeteer offers two Memory Upgrade Kits for running the most recent PacketWise
software on an older PacketShaper.
- The MUK-1G kit for the PacketShaper 8 500 includes two 512MB memory modules.
- The MUK-512M memory kit for the PacketShaper 2500 and PacketShaper 4500 includes
two 256MB memory modules.
Additional Memory Upgrade Kits are designed to extend the hardware configuration
of new PacketShapers for future use
- The MUK-PS1400 kit for the PacketShaper 1400 includes one 1GB memory module
- The MUK-PS1700-3500 kit for the PacketShaper 1700 and 3500 includes one 1GB
memory module
Fiber Bypass Switches (FBS)
Designed for fiber-optic network interfaces, the FBS is an external bypass that
ensures uninterrupted network access even if a PacketShaper:
- Is powered down.
- Is in bypass mode.
- Encounters an unlikely failure.
