Example 7—Protected Flexible Inline, Out-of-Band Copy

Example 7 demonstrates a flexible inline map with OOB copy configuration as follows:

■   an example of the source leader in a bidirectional clock relationship (formerly master) as a protected inline network and the destination as a hybrid port
■   an example of the source as a tool member in the a-to-b list and the destination as a regular tool port
■   an example of the source as a tool member in the a-to-b list and the destination as a GigaStream

Use the following steps to configure Example 7:

Step

Description

Command
1.    

Configure inline tool ports, port type (inline-tool), and administratively enable inline tool ports.

(config) # port 1/3/x1..x4 type inline-tool

(config) # port 1/3/x1..x4 params admin enable
2.  

Configure inline tools, specify that the inline tool is going to be shared by different sources, specify heart-beat, and enable inline tools.

(config) # inline-tool alias it1 pair tool-a 1/3/x1 and tool-b 1/3/x2

(config) # inline-tool alias it1 shared true

(config) # inline-tool alias it1 heart-beat

(config) # inline-tool alias it1 enable

(config) # inline-tool alias it2 pair tool-a 1/3/x3 and tool-b 1/3/x4

(config) # inline-tool alias it2 shared true

(config) # inline-tool alias it2 heart-beat

(config) # inline-tool alias it2 enable
3.  

Configure hybrid port, port type (hybrid), and administratively enable hybrid port. The flexible inline map will configure out-of-band (OOB) traffic to this hybrid port.

(config) # port 1/3/x19 type hybrid

(config) # port 1/3/x19 params admin enable
4.  

Configure regular tool ports, port type (tool), and administratively enable tool ports. The flexible inline map will configure out-of-band (OOB) traffic to a regular tool port. Two other tool ports will be used in a GigaStream.

(config) # port 1/3/x20..x22 type tool

(config) # port 1/3/x20..x22 params admin enable
5.  

Create a GigaStream using two of the regular tool ports.

(config) # gigastream alias gs1 port-list 1/3/x21,1/3/x22
6.  

Configure the flexible inline map from the default inline network to inline tools in both directions, specify a rule, and a user-defined tag. Then configure out-of-band traffic as follows:

■   from a protected inline network to a hybrid port using the same VLAN tag as the flexible inline map
■   from the first tool member in the a-to-b list to a regular tool port without a VLAN tag. The tag can be configured to none, because traffic goes to a different destination, it1.
■   from the second tool member in the a-to-b list to a GigaStream using the same VLAN tag as the flexible inline map

Finally, enable the map.

(config) # map alias FLEX1

(config map alias FLEX1) # type flexInline byRule

(config map alias FLEX1) # from default_inline_net_1_4_1

(config map alias FLEX1) # rule add pass vlan 500

(config map alias FLEX1) # a-to-b it1,it2

(config map alias FLEX1) # b-to-a same

(config map alias FLEX1) # tag 11

(config map alias FLEX1) # oob-copy from default_inline_net_1_4_1 to 1/3/x19 tag as-inline

(config map alias FLEX1) # oob-copy from it1 to 1/3/x20 tag none

(config map alias FLEX1) # oob-copy from it2 to gs1 tag as-inline

(config map alias FLEX1) # enable

(config map alias FLEX1) # exit

(config) #
7.  

Configure the path of the traffic to inline tools.

(config) # inline-network alias default_inline_net_1_4_1 traffic-path to-inline-tool
8.  

Disable physical bypass on the default inline network.

(config) # inline-network alias default_inline_net_1_4_1 physical-bypass disable
