Prepare UCT-V to Monitor Traffic

UCT-V is a tiny footprint user-space agent (UCT-V) 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 UCT-V installation is applicable only when the UCT-V is your traffic acquisition method.

You can configure a source interface 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 is egress or ingress or both.
