Configure Shared Collector Maps

A shared collector is a special type of map configured with only a set of from ports and shared-collector ports or GigaStream. Rules, priority settings, GigaSMART operations and to destinations are not allowed in shared-collector maps

The following example shows the standard components of a shared-collector map. The from the ports match those used by a set of normal flow maps. The collector ports are where you want to send any packets not matching the normal flow maps.

Notice that the map does not include any rules, priority settings, GigaSMART operations (use gsop lines), or to destinations - those are not allowed in shared-collector maps.

Description

Command

First, enter the map prefix mode by specifying the alias for the shared-collector map.

(config) # map-scollector alias shared_collector

We want to set the shared-collector map on the same network ports shared by the maps shown in 2.

(config map-scollector alias shared_collector) # from 14/4/x10

Next, specify the shared-collector destination. You can configure the destination ports using standard port-list conventions.

Note:  You could also specify a GigaStream as the shared-collector destination.

(config map-scollector alias shared_collector) # collector 14/6/x8

Exit the map prefix mode.

(config map-scollector alias shared_collector) # exit

Once the shared collector is set up, the CLI will display the newly configured map using the show map command.

To set a GigaStream as the shared collector, once the network port is set, use:

(config map-scollector alias shared_gscollector) # collector GigaStreamAlias1

To set multiple GigaStream as the shared collector, once the network port is set, use:

(config map-scollector alias shared_gscollector) # collector GigaStreamAlias1,

GigaStreamAlias2, GigaStreamAlias3

Multiple tool ports can also be set as shared collector using the tool ID or range.

Configure Map-Passall

Description

Command

First, enter the map prefix mode by specifying the alias for the map-passall.

(config) # map-passall alias MapPassAll

We want to set the map-passall map on the same network ports shared by the maps shown in 2.

(config map-passall alias MapPassAll) # from 14/4/x20

Next, specify the map-passall destination. You can configure the destination ports using standard port-list conventions.

(config map-passall alias MapPassAll) # to 14/6/x12

Exit the map prefix mode.

(config map-passall alias MapPassAll) # exit

Note:  Once the map-passall is set up, the CLI will display the newly configured map using the show map command.
