Install UCT-V

UCT-V is the primary Gigamon monitoring module that you install on your Virtual Machines (VMs). UCT-V mirrors the selected traffic from a source interface to a destination mirror interface. UCT-V encapsulates the mirrored traffic using GRE or VXLAN tunneling and then forwards to the GigaVUE V Series Node.

Note:  Install UCT-V only when the UCT-V is your traffic acquisition method.

The Workflow

• A UCT-V can consist of multiple source interface and a single destination interface.

• UCT-V collects the network packets from the source interface and sends to the destination interface.

• From the destination interface, the packets traverse through the L2GRE, VXLAN tunnel interface, or Secure Tunnels to the GigaVUE V Series Node.

You can configure a source interface with one or more Network Interfaces. While configuring a source interface, specify the traffic direction to monitor: ingress, egress, or both.

Note:  For environments with both Windows and Linux or just windows UCT-V, VXLAN tunnels in the UCT-V Controller specification is required.
