SMT-HC1-S (Gen 3 GigaSMART Card)

GigaVUE-HC1 now supports an additional module called the Generation 3 GigaSMART card (SMT-HC1-S), which gives 80Gb throughput and can be used to provide the ThreatINSIGHT solution for security detection. Integrate this module with Threat Detection and Response functionality on GigaVUE-HC1 using GigaVUE-FM to enable faster provisioning and easier maintenance. For more information, refer to Gigamon ThreatINSIGHT Sensor, online or 'Threat Detection and Response' from GigaVUE Fabric Management Guide. There are no front end ports on this module.

The SMT-HC1-S card was introduced with GigaVUE-OS 5.10.00 to be inserted on the GigaVUE-HC1 Chassis. The OS software is embedded on the GigaVUE-HC1 Chassis.

The addition of Threat Detection and Sensor image to GigaVUE HC1 in GigaVUE-OS 5.10.01 increased the size of the downloaded file, which can cause failures when extracting the expanded image on the target.

To install the new image follow the guidelines in this topic.
