Prepare G-vTAP Agent to Monitor Traffic
G-vTAP Agent is a tiny footprint user-space agent (G-vTAP) that is deployed on each instance that you want to monitor. This agent mirrors the selected traffic from a source interface to a destination mirror interface. The mirrored traffic is encapsulated using GRE or VXLAN tunneling and then sent to the GigaVUE V Series node.
Note: The G-vTAP Agent installation is applicable only when the G-vTAP is your traffic acquisition method.
A source interface can be configured with one or more vNIC. While configuring a source interface, you can specify the direction of the traffic to be monitored in the instance. The direction of the traffic can be egress or ingress or both.
