Refer to Supported GigaSMART Operations for more details on the devices that support GigaSMART operations.

The GigaSMART IP FlowVUE application enables existing tools to connect to the latest high-speed pipes by providing a representative view of traffic for diagnostic coverage. It allows organizations to sample traffic based on outer IP address or inner IP address across GTP tunnels. It intelligently reduces the amount of traffic while maintaining the integrity of the traffic by forwarding all the traffic flows associated with the sampled IP to the monitoring and analytic tools.

This feature can be used for troubleshooting, resolving tool's over-subscription, and ensuring optimal utilization of tool licenses.

GigaSMART IP FlowVUE supports the following:

■

flow-aware sampling of IPs to filter and forward all flows sourced from a sampled set of IPs.

■

random sampling on IPs and IP ranges, and at configurable sampling rates.

■

Sampling GTP traffic based on inner IP header.

■

User-configurable timeouts to detect and replace inactive IPs.

FlowVUE operations can be assigned to GigaSMART groups consisting of a single GigaSMART engine. Refer to Groups of GigaSMART Engine Ports for details.

Configure FlowVUE

The GigaSMART parameters for configuring FlowVUE are as follows:

GigaSMART Field

Definition

Type

Specifies whether inner or outer IP addresses are used for FlowVUE sampling as follows:

●

Device IP—Specifies a sample subset of traffic based on outer IP address.

●

Device IP in GTP—Specifies a sample subset of traffic based on inner IP address encapsulated in the GTP tunnels.

IPV4 Ranges /IPV6 Ranges

Specifies the range of IPV4/ IPV6 addresses.

Note: The maximum IPV4 and IPv6 ranges that are configurable are 64 .

Rate (%)

Specifies the rate for random sampling of the traffic. The values range from 5 to 95%.

Timeout (minutes)

Specifies after how much time a flow in a sampled IP range is declared idle and is no longer sampled. The values range from 1 to 60 minutes.
