Windows UCT-V Installation

Windows UCT-V allows you to select the network interfaces by subnet/CIDR and modify the corresponding monitoring permissions in the configuration file. This gives you more granular control over what traffic is monitored and mirrored.

VXLAN is the only supported tunnel type for Windows UCT-V.

Windows UCT-V Installation Using MSI Package

To install the Windows UCT-V using the MSI file:

Download the Windows UCT-V 6.6.00 MSI package from the Gigamon Customer Portal. For assistance contact Contact Technical Support.
Install the downloaded MSI package as Administrator and the UCT-V service starts automatically.
Once the UCT-V package is installed, modify the file C:\ProgramData\Uct-v\uctv.conf to configure and register the source and destination interfaces.
Note: Any changes to theUCT-V config file made after the initial setup require an UCT-V restart and an inventory refresh or sync from GigaVUE-FM to pick up the new changes and re-initiate the traffic mirroring. When you have an active, successful monitoring session deployed, modifying the UCT-V config file results in traffic loss until GigaVUE-FM does a periodic sync on its own every 15 minutes.
Following are the rules to modify the UCT-V configuration file:
- Interface is selected by matching its CIDR address with config entries.
- For the VMs with single interface:
  - if neither mirror-src permissions is granted to the interface, both mirror-src-ingress and mirror-src-egress are granted to it.
  - mirror-dst is always granted implicitly to the interface.
- For the VMs with multiple interfaces:
  - mirror-dst needs to be granted explicitly in the config file. Only the first matched interface is selected for mirror-dst, all other matched interfaces are ignored.
  - if none interfaces is granted any mirror-src permission, all interfaces will be granted mirror-src-ingress and mirror-src-egress.
Example 1—Configuration example to monitor ingress and egress traffic at interface 192.168.1.0/24 or 2001:db8:abcd:ef01::/64 and use the same interface to send out the mirrored packets.
For IPv4:
# 192.168.1.0/24  mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress mirror-dst
For IPv6:
2001:db8:abcd:ef01::/64 mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress 2001:db8:abcd:ef01::/64 mirror-src-egress
2001:db8:abcd:ef01::/64 mirror-dst
Example 2—Configuration example to monitor ingress and egress traffic at interface 192.168.1.0/24 or 2001:db8:abcd:ef01::/64 and use the interface 192.168.2.0/24 to send out the mirrored packets.
For IPv4:
# 192.168.1.0/24   mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress
# 192.168.2.0/24   mirror-dst

For IPv6

2001:db8:abcd:ef01::/64 mirror-src-ingress mirror-src-egress 2001:db8:abcd:ef02::/64 mirror-src-egress

2001:db8:abcd:ef01::2/64 mirror-dst

Save the file.
To enable the third-party orchestration, a configuration file C:\ProgramData\uctv\gigamon-cloud.conf needs to be created with the following contents:
```
Registration:
```
```
	groupName: <Monitoring Domain Name>
```
```
	subGroupName: <Connection Name>
```
```
	user: orchestration
```
```
	password: orchestration123A!
```
```
	remoteIP: <controller list IP addresses separated by comma>
```
```
	remotePort: 8891
```
- When creating C:\ProgramData\uctv\gigamon-cloud.conf file, ensure that the file name extension is .conf. To view the file name extension in Windows, follow the steps given below:
  1. Go to File Explorer and open the File Location.
  2. On the top navigation bar, click View.
  3. In the View tab, enable the File name extensions check box.
- User and Password must be configured in the User Management page. Refer to Configure Role-Based Access for Third Party Orchestration for more detailed information. Enter the UserName and Password created in the Add Users Section.
To restart the Windows UCT-V, perform one of the following actions:
- Restart the VM.
- Run 'sc stop uctv' and 'sc start uctv' from the command prompt.
- Restart the UCT-V from the Windows Task Manager.

You can check the status of the UCT-V in the Service tab of the Windows Task Manager.
