Configure Inline Network Ports and an Inline Network
To configure inline network ports and an inline network:
1.
Go to > Physical > Orchestrated Flows > Inline Flows > Configuration Canvas to create a new Flexible Inline Canvas.
2.
In the displayed Flexible Inline Canvas, select the device where you want to configure the inline network.
3.
Click the ‘+’ icon next to the Inline Network to create a new entry.
4.
Enter a name and description for the inline network in the Alias and Description fields.
5.
Click Port Editor. In the Quick Port Editor, scroll to the inline network ports you want to configure. Select Enable to activate the network ports, and click OK.
6.
Select the ports you want to configure as the inline network pair from the Port A and Port B drop-down lists.
7.
Choose a traffic path from the Traffic Path drop-down list:
o
Bypass- Redirects all traffic from the inline network to the opposite-side inline network port, bypassing all inline tools and tool groups. Traffic is not decrypted during this process.
o
Drop - Drops all traffic originating from the inline network.
o
Bypass with Monitoring - Sends one copy of the traffic directly to the opposite-side inline network port and another copy to the sequence of inline tools and inline tool groups.
Note: If the Inline network is set to bypass with monitoring, GigaSMART Inline TLS/SSL decryption does not work.
o
To Inline Tool - Directs all traffic through the configured sequence of inline tools and tool groups, based on their current status.
8.
Select the Link Failure Propagation check box to propagate link failure from one side of the inline network to the other.
9.
Select the Accept Regular Heartbeat check box to allow the inline network port pair to accept heartbeat packets from the inline tool port pair.
