Table 1: GigaVUE TA Series License Types

Port License

GigaVUE‑OS

To enable ports on a white box after installing GigaVUE‑OS, the appropriate license needs to be installed on the whitebox. The license can be purchased by calling the Gigamon representative. The initial key sent to the user is the Gigamon Installation Key.

Using the digital footprint and serial number of the white box along with the EID, the license key can be obtained from the Gigamon licensing portal. After obtaining the license key, install it directly on the white box from either the CLI or H-VUE.

This enables all ports on the white box.

GigaVUE-TA1

GigaVUE-TA1 requires port licensing to enable ports x25-x48 and the 4 additional 40G ports. For details, refer to the GigaVUE-TA1 Hardware Installation Guide.

GigaVUE-TA10

The GigaVUE-TA10 has all forty-eight 1Gb/10Gb ports and four 40Gb ports enabled and does not require a port license. For details, refer to the GigaVUE TA Series Hardware Installation Guide.

GigaVUE-TA10A

The GigaVUE-TA10A has the first twenty-four 1Gb/10Gb ports enabled. A port license is needed to expand the GigaVUE-TA10A to include all forty-eight 1Gb/10Gb ports as well as the four 40Gb ports. For details, refer to the GigaVUE TA Series Hardware Installation Guide.

GigaVUE-TA100

On the GigaVUE-TA100, only the first 16 out of 32 ports are enabled. Two port licenses are available to enable an additional 8 or 16 ports to expand to 24 or 32 ports. For details, refer to the GigaVUE TA Series Hardware Installation Guide.

Advanced Features License

GigaVUE-TA1 / GigaVUE-TA10 / GigaVUE-TA10A / GigaVUE-TA100 /
GigaVUE-TA200 / GigaVUE‑OS

To enable clustering feature on all GigaVUE TA Series nodes including the white box, installation of the specific Advanced Features License key on each TA node in a cluster is important. The license key needs to be enabled prior to joining the cluster.

This applies to the white box with GigaVUE‑OS as well.

Any TA Series node can be added to a cluster however it cannot take the role of a leader or a standby. It can only join as a normal. There can be more than one TA node in a cluster, however each node requires its own Advanced Features License to join a cluster.
