Product overview

Welcome to the Keysight M4100/APS-ONE-100 (APS System) Documentation.

An APS System provides next-generation ultra-high-performance Layer 4 - Layer 7 application
and security testing, TLS support and 100G Interfaces. Industry-proven BreakingPoint (BPS) is
the user interface application.

An APS system consists of one management node server (MN), one to ten compute node (CN)
servers, and the Keysight Cluster Operating System (KCOS).

l

The management node is used to manage the entire cluster of compute nodes and expose
administrative and test configuration functionalities to the user.

l

The compute nodes are used for generating custom traffic. They have QSFP28 interfaces for
connecting devices under test (DUTs). Compute nodes must have a functional management
node to operate.

l

Keysight Cluster Operating System (KCOS) is the APS base operating system. It provides a
command line interface (CLI) and a command shell to enable user control of the various
services. It is a purpose-built platform that provides essential services, including host
management, user access control, software upgrades and cluster orchestration.
