A Resilient Inline Arrangement is performed on two GigaVUE devices .
2.
Ensure that the names on both GigaVUE devices are identical, that is, the inline networks, inline tools, inline tool groups, out-of-band tools, and out-of-band tool GigaStreams must all have the same alias names on both the devices.
3.
If you choose to use the inline network bundle, the alias of the inline network bundle on both the devices must be identical. However, the inline networks that are grouped into the bundle can have different aliases.
Once you are set with these basic prerequisites you can move forward to configure the following components:
Create Inter-broker Pathway
To create a new inter-broker pathway:
1.
Go to > Physical > Orchestrated Flows > Inline Flows > Configuration Canvas to create a new Flexible Inline Canvas.
2.
In the displayed canvas, select the device where you want to create the inter-broker pathway.
3.
Click the ‘+’ icon next to the IB Pathway option to create a new inter-broker pathway.
4.
In the Properties pane, enter a name and description in the Alias and Description fields..
5.
From the Ports drop-down list, select the required tool ports to attach to the inter-broker pathway.
Note: If the required tool ports are not available, you can enable them administratively. Click Port Editor, scroll to the tool ports you want to configure in the Quick Port Editor page, select Enable, and click OK.
6.
In the Minimum Ports Up field, enter the minimum number of tool ports that must be operational for the inter-broker pathway status to be "Up".
7.
From the Traffic Path drop-down list, select one of the following options:
o
Bypass—Traffic bypasses the inter-broker pathway and is redirected to the next inline network port.
o
Monitoring—Traffic is forwarded to the sequence of inline tools in the monitoring mode.
o
To Inline Tool—Traffic is forwarded to the sequence of inline tools you have configured.
8.
Click OK to save the configuration.
Configure Resilient Inline Arrangement
To configure a resilient inline arrangement:
1.
Drag and drop the required inline network or inline network LAG into the flexible inline canvas, and click Settings.
2.
In the Settings pane, select the Enable check box next to Show Single Tag Options to configure the resilient inline arrangement with a single VLAN tag.
Note: Enable Show Single Tag Options only if your inline tools do not support Q-in-Q VLAN tags.
3.
Select the Enable check box next to Show Resilient Inline Menu.
4.
Select the required Node 1, Node 2, IB Pathway1, and IB Pathway2 for the resilient inline arrangement.
5.
From the Hashing Source drop-down list, select one of the following options:
o
Side A - Hashing uses source IP or source port from Side A; destination IP or destination port from Side B.
o
Side B - Hashing uses source IP or source port from Side B; destination IP or destination port from Side A.
6.
From the Hashing Type drop-down list, select one of the following options:
o
L3 (IP Based) - Hashing uses the IP address.
o
L4 (Port Based) - Hashing uses the transport layer port number.
7.
From the Hashing LSB Node drop-down list, select one of the following options:
o
Node 1 as 0 - Traffic from IPs ending in 0 is hashed to Node 2.
o
Node 2 as 0 - Traffic from IPs ending in 0 is hashed to Node 1.
Note: This option is available only if you selected L3 (IP Based) in the Hashing Type field.
8.
From the Hashing Port drop-down list, select one of the following options:
o
Node 1 as odd - Traffic with odd port numbers is hashed to Node 2, while traffic with even port numbers is hashed to Node 1.
o
Node 2 as odd - Traffic with odd port numbers is hashed to Node 1, while traffic with even port numbers is hashed to Node 2.
Note: This field is available only if you select the L4 (Port Based) option in the Hashing Type field.
9.
Click OK to save the settings.
10.
Drag and drop the flexible inline map into the canvas. Click the map to open the Properties pane.
11.
In the Alias and Description fields, enter the name and description of the inline map.
Note: You can choose to disable the Single Tag Mode for collector maps, if
required.
13.
Enter the Tool Side VLAN Tag for the inline network you are configuring.
14.
Select the TPID for the Tool Side VLAN Tag. The default value is 0x8100. You can also choose from the supported values 0x9100 and 0x88a8 in the drop-down list.
15.
From the FlexInline Failover drop-down list, select one of the following options:
o
Bypass - Traffic passes directly between the respective inline network ports.
o
Original Map - Traffic follows the path defined in this Flexible Inline Map.
16.
Add the required rules for the inline map. Click OK to save the configuration.
17.
Drag and drop the required Inline Tools or Inline Tool Group into the canvas.
18.
If needed, drag and drop the OOB Copy into the canvas.
19.
From the Destination Ports drop-down list, select the required hybrid or tool ports.
20.
From the VLAN Tag drop-down list, select one of the following options:
o
None - No VLAN tag is used; traffic is routed to a different destination.
o
Original - Uses the original VLAN tag from the packet received from the inline network.
o
As Inline - Uses the VLAN tag configured for the Flexible Inline Map.
Note: The As Inline option is available only when you configure the Resilient Inline Arrangement with a single VLAN tag.
