Flexible Inline Solution Supported in Clustered Nodes
The GigaVUE HC Series nodes can now be clustered with Flexible Inline solution for the configuration path. The traffic path is limited to a single node such that all inline ports should reside in the same node. This feature is applicable in Out-of-Band cluster. The Flexible Inline features that can be configured are as follows:
| Supported Feature | Reference |
|---|---|
|
Flexible Inline Solution |
|
|
Single VLAN Tag |
|
|
Non Shared Tool |
|
|
Resilient Weighted Hashing |
Refer to 'Resilient Weighted Hashing' in Configure Inline Tool Group |
|
Out-of-Band Copy The oob-copy target ports must reside on the same node as the respective flexible inline type maps. The traffic originated from oob-copy can be exposed to out-of-band tool residing on other nodes by using hybrid ports. This feature also allows the flexibility to have different oob-copies on each direction (a-to-b and b-to-a) from GigaVUE-FM for bidirectional flex maps. |
Refer to Example 7—Protected Flexible Inline, Out-of-Band Copy in GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide. |
|
Resilient Inline Arrangement. In a Resilient Inline Arrangement, both GigaVUE HC Series nodes should be in different clusters or either one of the node can be a standalone node. |
Refer to 'Resilient Inline Arrangement' in Configure Resilient Inline Arrangement |
|
Network Link Aggregation Group (LAG) |
Refer to Configure Inline Network Link Aggregation Group (LAG). |
|
Hashing |
Refer to Asymmetrical Hashing options in Configure Inline Tool Group. |
For 5.13.00 version, only GigaVUE HC Series devices can be configured for Flexible Inline solution in a cluster. Flexible Inline solution in a cluster is not applicable for GigaVUE-TA Series device but, it can be part of a GigaVUE-HC Series cluster that is configured for this functionality.
For 5.14.00 version, only GigaVUE HC Series and GigaVUE-TA200 devices can be configured for Flexible Inline solution in a cluster. Flexible Inline solution in a cluster is not applicable for other GigaVUE-TA Series device but, it can be part of a GigaVUE HC Series cluster that is configured for this functionality
Limitations
The inline-network, inline-tool and destination tool ports in oob-copy must reside on the same node and cannot be chosen from across devices in a cluster.
