vport

Use the vport command to configure a GigaSMART virtual port used as an aggregation point for traffic directed to second level maps. Second level maps include an Adaptive Packet Filtering component (gsrule) or a GTP rule (flow-rule).

This command does not apply to GigaVUE TA Series nodes.

The vport command has the following syntax:

vport alias <alias>
   gsgroup <GigaSMART group alias>
   failover-action <vport-bypass | vport-drop | network-bypass | network-drop | network-port-forced-down>
   mode gtp-overlap

If a gsgroup has not been assigned to a vport yet, the vport command has the following syntax:

vport alias <alias>
   gsgroup <GigaSMART group alias>

Refer to the “GigaVUE-OS CLI—Configuration Examples” chapter in this guide for examples.

The following table describes the arguments for the vport command:

Argument

Description

vport alias <alias>

Specifies the alias of the virtual port.

gsgroup <GigaSMART group alias>

Specifies the GigaSMART group associated with the virtual port.

For example:

(config) # vport alias vport1 gsgroup gsgrp5

failover-action <vport-bypass | vport-drop | network-bypass | network-drop | network-port-forced-down>

Specifies a failover action for the virtual port for inline SSL decryption as follows:

• vport-bypass—Specifies that the traffic that was directed to the vport goes via the bypass path.
• vport-drop—Specifies that the traffic that was directed to the vport is dropped.
• network-bypass—Specifies that all traffic coming to the inline network is directed via the bypass path.
• network-drop—Specifies that all traffic coming to the inline network is dropped.
• network-port-forced-down—Specifies that the inline network ports of the inline network are forced to a down state.

The default is vport-bypass.

For example:

(config) # vport alias vport1 failover-action vport-bypass

Note:  To configure the failover-action, first assign a gsgroup to the vport.

mode gtp-overlap

Specifies the GTP overlap mode. This is an optional mode to use with GTP whitelisting and GTP flow sampling when multiple copies of a GTP packet need to be sent to more than one tool.

For example:

(config) # vport alias vport1 mode gtp-overlap

Note:  To configure the mode, first assign a gsgroup to the vport.

Refer to the “GigaSMART GTP Whitelisting and GTP Flow Sampling” section in the GigaVUE-FM User’s Guide for details.
