Create Tunnel Endpoints

Traffic from the V Series node is distributed to tunnel endpoints in a monitoring session. A tunnel endpoint can be created using a standard L2 Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnel, or a ERSPAN, or a Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) tunnel.

To create a new tunnel:

  1. After creating a new monitoring session, or click Edit on an existing monitoring session, the GigaVUE-FM canvas appears.

  2. In the canvas, select New > New Tunnel, drag and drop a new tunnel template to the workspace. The Add Tunnel Spec quick view appears.
  3. On the New Map quick view, enter or select the required information as described in the following table.

    Field

    Description

    Alias

    The name of the tunnel endpoint.

    Note:  Do not enter spaces in the alias name.

    Description

    The description of the tunnel endpoint.

    Type

    The type of the tunnel.

    Select ERSPAN, or L2GRE, or VXLAN to create a tunnel.

    Traffic Direction

    The direction of the traffic flowing through the V Series node.

    Choose Out for creating a tunnel from the V Series node to the destination endpoint.

    Note:  Traffic Direction In is not supported for V Series 1 nodes.

    Remote Tunnel IP

    The IP address of the tunnel destination endpoint.

    Note:  You cannot create two tunnels from a V Series node to the same IP address.

  4. Click Save.

To delete a tunnel, select the required tunnel and click Delete.
