GigaSMART Rules and Tips
When using GigaSMART operations, keep in mind the following rules and tips:

Use on Any GigaSMART-Enabled Node |
Maps including GigaSMART operations can be bound to any network port on a GigaSMART-enabled node:
Clustered nodes can use maps with GigaSMART operations so long as there is at least one node available in the cluster with GigaSMART capabilities. The GigaSMART group used to power the GigaSMART operation does not need to reside on the same physical chassis as the network or tool ports for the map. Refer to GigaSMART Operations in Clusters for some illustrations of how this works. |
||||||||||||
Use in Maps with Standard Rule Criteria |
Combine GSOPs with map rules carefully to ensure selective application. For example, headers in an IPv4 packet end at a different offset than those in an IPv6 traffic. You can create maps for the following:
GSOPs are applied to all packets matching any rule in the map in which the GSOP is included. |

Editing Maps and GSOPs |
Maps containing GigaSMART operations (GSOPs) should not be edited. Also GSOPs should not be edited once they are associated with maps. |

Rules for Tunneling Operations |
The rules for tunneling operations are as follows:

Combine Multiple Components in a Single Operation |
You can combine multiple GigaSMART components into a single operation. For example, you could set up a single GigaSMART operation that masks a packet, strips its VLAN header, and applies a trailer. Note: With the exception of slicing and masking, most GigaSMART components can be combined in a single operation. Slicing and masking can be combined with other components but not with each other. Refer to How to Combine GigaSMART Operations for details on the combinations of GigaSMART operations. Note: The [trailer <remove>] argument cannot combined with others – it must be used by itself. Refer to Remove GigaSMART Trailers for details. Note: NetFlow can only be combined with de-duplication and with APF (using second level maps). |

GigaVUE‑HC3 Nodes with Multiple GigaSMART Modules |
The GigaVUE‑HC3 chassis supports up to four GigaSMART SMT-HC3-C05 modules. Each module has two GigaSMART engine ports. Each GigaSMART engine port can process packets at up to 100Gb. |
