Create Tunnel Endpoints

The customized traffic from the GigaVUE V Series node is distributed to the tunnel endpoints using a standard L2 Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) or Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) tunnel.

Note:  To configure the tunnel end points, you must be a user with fm_super_admin role or a user with write access to the Traffic Control Management category.
