Create Tunnel Endpoint

The customized traffic from the GigaVUE V Series node is distributed to the tunnel endpoints.

To create a new tunnel endpoint:

  1. After creating a new monitoring session, or click Actions > Edit on an existing monitoring session, the GigaVUE-FM canvas appears.
  2. In the canvas, select New > New Tunnel, drag and drop a new tunnel template to the workspace. The Add Tunnel Spec quick view appears.
  3. On the New Tunnel quick view, enter or select the required information as described in the following table.

After configuring the tunnels and deploying the monitoring session, you can view the names of egress tunnels configured for a monitoring session, on the Monitoring Session details page. The Egress Tunnel column displays the name of the egress tunnel configured for a particular monitoring session. When multiple egress tunnels are configured for a monitoring session, then the Egress Tunnel column displays the number of egress tunnels configured in that monitoring session. Hover over the number of egress tunnels to display the names of the egress tunnels used in that particular monitoring session.
