Agilent/Keysight Vision Edge 40 – SYSE40-24PG-AC

The Keysight Vision Edge 40 is a 1U rack-mountable network packet broker delivering high-density visibility and traffic management at network edges. It aggregates, filters, replicates, and load-balances traffic across 48 × 1G/10G SFP+ ports and 6 × 40G QSFP+ ports—expandable to 72 × 10G or 18 × 40G ports via breakout cables. With a 720 Gbps backplane and line-rate forwarding architecture, the device operates at zero packet loss while supporting inline or out-of-band deployments in SDN environments.

– Key Features

• Traffic aggregation consolidates incoming flows to optimize port utilization
• Conditional header stripping for tunneled traffic enables protocol-agnostic visibility
• Ingress-port and dynamic filter-based replication routes identical traffic to multiple analysis tools
• Load balancing preserves flow integrity across tool ports with automatic failover

– Typical Applications

• Network performance monitoring and troubleshooting
• Security analysis and threat detection
• Multi-tool visibility at network edges and aggregation points
• SDN traffic management and visibility

– Compatibility & Integration

Operates as a standalone unit or integrates with Ixia Fabric Controller (IFC) for unified management across distributed architectures. Supports both inline and out-of-band traffic monitoring configurations.
