Considering CRS305 seems to be released/announced - did anyone test it? I'm interested in its span capabilities (whether it supports separate Tx and Rx span like CRS2xx series used to) because it seems like perfect TAP device if it can mirror uplink / downlink to separate ports.

Just look at it:

Looks almost the same as Gigamon G-TAP A-SF, for fraction of price:

CRS 3xx series until now don't have the same spectrum of features in comparison with CRS2xx series, with current features i dont think you can get the success you expect using CRS3xx as TAP
