Configure Monitoring Session for Inline V Series

When the Traffic Acquisition Method is Inline, the UCT-I application is available on the canvas by default. You can configure up to three tiers in a Monitoring Session and define multiple Sub Policies. Each Sub Policy can have its own ingress and egress tunnels and traffic processing applications.

Notes:
■   You can configure a maximum of three tiers in a Monitoring Session.
■   Tier 1 supports only Maps. Inline traffic is disabled and reserved for future use.
■   You can configure a maximum of 8 Sub Policies in a Monitoring Session.
■   Each Sub Policy can have its own Ingress Tunnels, Egress Tunnels, and Applications.
■   Traffic from an out-of-band endpoint can either:
o   Pass through a Map and send to a tool using an Egress Tunnel.
o   (Optional) Send to the GigaVUE V Series Node of the next tier for further processing.

To configure the Monitoring Session for Inline V Series Solution:

Tier 1 Monitoring Session:

  1. Perform one of the following options:

    • Create a new Monitoring Session

    • On an existing Monitoring Session, navigate to the TRAFFIC PROCESSING tab.

    The GigaVUE‑FM Monitoring Session canvas page appears.

    When the Traffic Acquisition Method is Inline, the UCT-I application is available on the canvas by default.

  2. Drag and drop the following items to the canvas as required for Tier 1 or Sub Policy 1:

    • (Optional) Maps from the new map section.

    • Egress tunnels from the new tunnel section. When configuring Egress Tunnel, configure the Remote Tunnel IP if you intend to send the traffic directly from Tier 1 to the tool.

      Note:  If sending traffic to Tier 2, Remote IP is optional. GigaVUE-FM will automatically add the remote IPs internally.

Tier 2 Monitoring Session (Optional):

  1. In the same Monitoring Session canvas, drag and drop the following items to the canvas as required for Tier 2 or Sub Policy 2:

    • Ingress tunnel (as a source) from the New section.

    • Maps from the New Map section.

    • GigaSMART apps from the Applications section.

    • Egress tunnels from the new tunnel section. Enter the Remote Tunnel IP address.

  2. Create a link from the Ingress Tunnel to the Map or Application, and then connect it to the Egress Tunnel.

  3. Create a direct link between the Egress Tunnel of Tier 1 and the Ingress Tunnel of Tier 2. The Blue Dot serves as an identifier to differentiate between tiers.

  4. Repeat Step 1 to configure a third tier, if required.

Deploy Monitoring Session

  1. From the Actions drop-down list, select Deploy.

    The Deploy Monitoring Session pop-up appears.

  2. For each Policy (Tier) configured in the Monitoring Session, enter the following details:

    • In the Policy Name field, verify the auto-generated policy name or enter a custom name.

    • From the Node Group drop-down list, select the appropriate node group associated with this policy.

    • Under Interface Mapping, configure the interfaces:

      1. From the Ingress - <Tunnel> drop-down list, select the input interface.

      2. From the Egress - <Tunnel> drop-down list, select the output interface.

  3. Select Deploy the Monitoring Session.

To view the GigaVUE V Series Node associated with each Sub Policy, navigate to the V SERIES NODES tab and select a policy from the Select a Sub policy drop-down menu.
