Extending Visibility to Cisco BiDi Links: Tapping 40G/100G ConnectionsAs organizations scale to 40Gb and 100Gb speeds, Cisco BiDi (Bi-Directional) transceivers provide a cost-effective solution by enabling bidirectional traffic over a single multimode fiber. BiDi technology uses two wavelengths (850nm and 900nm) on the same fiber, making it ideal for network upgrades without replacing existing cabling. However, monitoring these BiDi connections presents unique challenges, requiring specialized T
