Manage Links
After adding nodes to the topology, you can add one or more links between nodes. However, there are some restrictions regarding links:
|
■
|
CDP and LLDP links are read only. |
|
■
|
Only CDP and LLDP nodes can be the source for a TAP. |
|
■
|
Only a Gigamon node can be the destination for a TAP. |
Note: When Gigamon discovery is enabled, the manual links that already exists between the two GigaVUE nodes are suppressed and only the Gigamon discovery links are shown.
Add Links
To add a link or links between nodes, do the following:
|
1.
|
Click Add > Link(s) or click on the source node and drag a line from the dot that appears on the icon to the destination node as shown in the following figure. |
The Add Link page shown in the following figure displays.
|
2.
|
Select the source and destination ports for the link. |
The Device fields for the Source and Destination nodes are automatically populated with the nodes that you selected for the link if you used the drag and drop method for creating the link. Otherwise, select the nodes from the drop-down lists.
|
a.
|
Under Source, click in the Port field and select the source port from the drop-down list. |
|
b.

Under Destination, click in the Port field and select the destination port from the drop-down list. |
|
3.
|
(Optional) Add another link by clicking the + button, and then repeat steps 2 and step 3. |
Note: When adding more than one link between two nodes, both Source and Destination must contain information in the Port field.
The topology shows a link between the two nodes.
Edit Links
To edit links, do the following:
|
1.
|
Select the link to edit. |
When you select a link with neighbors, all the neighbors are automatically selected.
|
2.
