Ericsson vTAP Domain Tagging Support

This feature enhances Ericsson vTAP support on the GigaVUE V Series by adding domain aware classification and VLAN based tagging for both SBI and non-SBI flows. It introduces a configurable Ericsson domain-to-VLAN mapping table in the PCAPNG app, FQDN‑based SCP detection and destination IP selection in the 5G SBI application, and optional VLAN tagging on VXLAN/L2GRE egress tunnels.

These updates let deployments steer traffic from specific Ericsson network functions (such as pc‑mm, pc‑sm, ccsm‑5gc, sc‑scp), separate unclassified flows, and meet NetScout probe requirements—improving visibility, simplifying troubleshooting and enabling accurate domain‑level monitoring of Ericsson 5G core traffic.

Refer to 5G-Service Based Interface Application.

This feature enhances Gigamon GCB’s packet reordering capabilities in distributed environments. Previously, GCB could reorder and stitch transactions only when all packets for a transaction arrived at the same instance. With this update, GCB instances can now forward incomplete transactions to each other, enabling transaction stitching across multiple instances. This improvement enhances scalability and reliability, ensures more comprehensive transaction reconstruction, and provides improved support for dynamic scaling and failover in distributed deployments.

Refer to Configure GCB Settings.

Nokia HEP3 Service Map Support

The 5G Cloud application on GigaVUE V Series enhances Nokia HEP3 handling by introducing Nokia HEP3 Inbound with a configurable Service Map that normalizes ephemeral SIP request/response ports for IMS vTAP traffic. This update adds deterministic SIP port mapping through a centralized service mapping table enabling consistent SIP translation and accurate packet synthesis for downstream tools while simplifying integrations and reducing operational complexity in Nokia IMS deployments.

Refer to 5G Cloud Nokia HEP3 Support (Non-SBI).

Azure support for IL6

This feature extends GigaVUE‑FM's Azure integration to support IL6 workloads in Azure Government Secret and Top Secret regions. GigaVUE‑FM now supports importing custom root CA certificates into its Java trust store to enable secure TLS connectivity to isolated, air gapped service endpoints. These enhancements allow government and defense deployments to run GigaVUE‑FM in IL6 environments while maintaining secure, compliant access to non‑public Azure services.

Refer to Configure Custom Settings for Azure Secret and Top Secret Regions.

AWS support for IL6

This feature extends GigaVUE‑FM's AWS integration to support IL6 workloads in AWS Government Secret and Top Secret regions. GigaVUE‑FM now supports importing custom root CA certificates into its Java trust store to enable secure TLS connectivity to isolated, air gapped service endpoints. These enhancements allow government and defense deployments to run GigaVUE‑FM in IL6 environments while maintaining secure, compliant access to non-public AWS services.

Refer to Configure Custom Settings for AWS Secret and Top Secret Regions.

Audit button for CDA in GigaVUE‑FM
GigaVUE-FM allows you to generate a Customer Deployed Assets (CDA) report. It creates a detailed report of all deployed hardware and software by SKU, including GigaVUE-OS and GigaVUE-FM versions. GigaVUE-FM also automatically generates a CDA report every Sunday.

Refer to Generate Report for Customer Deployed Assets.

Spine Source Map Mode in Fabric Maps:

This feature introduces a global Spine Source Map Mode setting (SEPARATE/COMBINE) that controls whether leaf‑and‑spine clusters create one spine‑source cluster‑level map per spine CGS or a single combined map across all spine CGSs, improving scalability and correctness for fabric maps and traffic policies that traverse spine nodes.

Refer to Supported Topologies in Fabric Maps

Traffic Policy

Traffic Policy introduces a unified way to define how traffic is filtered, processed, and delivered across your monitoring and security tools. Instead of managing multiple maps and configurations, you can now express your intent in a single policy. This reduces manual effort and ensures consistent traffic handling. Benefits include:

• Centralized, simplified configuration

• Reduced operational complexity

• Consistent, predictable traffic workflows

Refer to Traffic Policy.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Traffic Insights
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Traffic Intelligence Application Intelligence supports monitoring usage of new AI apps (12) and Vector Database protocols (4) accessed via web browser or desktop/mobile app for Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC). In addition, it supports monitoring usage of AI apps involving public APIs for 24 apps (check for WebAPI in the Classification Workflows in the Protobook).

You can access the Protobook from the GigaVUE-FM in the following ways:

• On the left navigation pane, click Setting > Support > App Protobook. OR

• Go to Admin > App Protobook.

Mutual TLS (mTLS) Support for Inline TLS/SSL Decryption

Inline TLS/SSL decryption now supports inbound mutual TLS (mTLS) on Gen 3 platforms. With mTLS enabled, client certificates are validated using a dedicated client trust store, configurable client authentication policies (for example, how to handle expired, self‑signed, or unknown‑CA certificates) are applied, and new client authentication statistics are exposed as dashboard metrics so you can monitor mTLS adoption and health. This initial base mTLS support is available only for inbound Flexible Inline deployments and is not supported with L3 Tool NAT/PAT, HSM, One‑Arm mode, Tool Early Engage/Inspect, or ICAP workflows.

Refer to Inline SSL Decryption.

Adaptive Packet Filtering with Regex masking on Gen 3 GigaSMART Modules

APF on Gen 3 GigaSMART modules now supports regex‑based masking. Using PCRE compatible APF rules, you can identify and mask Personally Identifiable Information (PIIs) such as Social Security Number (SSN), credit card number, account ID, password and others in packet payloads to meet your organization’s security policy and compliance needs.

Refer to GigaSMART Adaptive Packet Filtering APF.

Adaptive Packet Filtering second‑level map scale increase on GigaVUE HC Series platforms

Increased the per vPort limit for Adaptive Packet Filtering second‑level maps from 5 to 25 on supported GigaVUE HC Series platforms ,enabling more granular APF‑based filtering and more concurrent APF policies per vPort while retaining the existing APF configuration model. The higher map limit applies only when the vPort is configured solely with APF (no other GigaSMART applications or operations are enabled).

Refer to GigaSMART Adaptive Packet Filtering APF.

Support for advanced VLAN manipulation

The advanced VLAN manipulation feature extends the existing VLAN manipulation to support Modify and Strip in addition to Add on the outer VLAN tag. It lets you add, replace, or remove the outer VLAN tag on ingress traffic at the map or rule level, with hardware‑based processing for line‑rate performance.

Refer to VLAN Manipulation.

Introducing enable packet capture on the IP interfaces

The PCAP on IP interfaces feature extends the existing packet capture capability to ports associated with IP interfaces. It lets you capture ingress, egress, or bidirectional traffic on IP interfaces using the same CLI syntax, filters, and behavioral rules as standard PCAP, while preserving core IP functions such as ARP and ICMP. InGigaVUE‑FM, you configure this capture directly from the IP Interface page using the Troubleshoot > Configure PCAP option.

Refer to Packet Capture (PCAP).
