GigaStream Rules and Maximums
The following rules apply to regular GigaStream and controlled GigaStream:
GigaStream Rule |
Description |
||||||||||||
Port Location |
All participating ports must be on the same GigaVUE node. On the GigaVUE‑HC2 and GigaVUE‑HC3, GigaStream can be across modules. |
||||||||||||
Speed Requirements |
|
||||||||||||
Addressing |
Once a port belongs to a GigaStream, it must be addressed by its GigaStream alias. It can no longer be addressed as an individual port. For example, if tool port 1/1/x4 is part of a tool GigaStream, the GigaVUE H Series node prevents you from using it as the destination for a map rule. |
||||||||||||
Stack Ports |
Stacking ports must be 10Gb or higher. Therefore, the Maximum Stack Ports per GigaStream for any 1Gb port is N/A in : Maximum Ports per GigaStream to.GigaStream Rules and Maximums |
||||||||||||
SFP+ |
For SFP+ ports that can operate at 10Gb or 1Gb, refer to the values in the Maximum Tool Ports per GigaStream column for the 10Gb Ports rows in : Maximum Ports per GigaStream to GigaStream Rules and Maximums. |
For GigaStream maximums, refer to Maximum Ports per GigaStream, which have been updated in software version 5.1.
Maximum Ports per GigaStream
Table 1: : Maximum Ports per GigaStream lists the maximum ports per GigaStream for GigaVUE nodes.
