Customer Deployed Assets (CDA)
GigaVUE-FM will send details about hardware SKUs, software SKUs, cloud SKUs, GigaVUE-OS version, and GigaVUE-FM version, and it will not send details regarding Accessories SKUs, PSU or Fan info, Support SKUs, and GigaVUE Cloud Suite™ virtual inventory collection.
The information is sent only when the Automatic Entitlement Retrieval is enabled. It is sent once a week during off-hours. The frequency is not configurable but can be adjusted by Gigamon staff. In such cases, you can reach out to Technical Support. If sending information fails, the node will retry up to 3 times.
You need to open a one-way port for communication between GigaVUE-FM and Gigamon. All communications between GigaVUE-FM and Gigamon should be secure and encrypted. The information shared must also be encrypted.
GigaVUE-FM shares SKU-level information without any PII (Personally Identifiable Information) implications. No sensitive data will be shared, such as IP addresses, host names, or usernames/passwords.
By adhering to these guidelines, the GigaVUE-FM ensures secure and efficient communication with Gigamon while protecting customer privacy.
GigaVUE‑FM collects the following four types of JSON data that provide insights into inventory and licensing:
| Physical Inventory |
| Physical Node Summary |
| License Summary |
