Configure Inline Bypass Solutions

Inline bypass solutions are arrangements of inline networks that act to guide traffic through one or more inline tools attached to a GigaVUE node.

Configure inline bypass solutions using the following software constructs:

■

Inline network

For configuring inline networks, which are pairs of network ports attached to the sides of the network, refer to About Inline Networks.

■

Inline network groups

For configuring inline network groups, which are multiple inline networks sharing the same inline tool or tools, refer to About Inline Network Groups.

■

Inline tool

For configuring inline tools, which are pairs of inline tool ports plus the inline tools attached to the ports, refer to About Inline Tools.

■

Heartbeat profile

For configuring monitoring of inline tools using heartbeat and/or negative heart beat packets or both, refer to About Heartbeats.

■

Inline tool group

For configuring multiple inline tools, which are arrangements of multiple inline tools to which traffic is distributed based on hashing, refer to About Inline Tool Groups.

■

Inline serial tools

For configuring inline tools in a series, in which traffic is guided through the inline tools in a serial fashion. Refer to About Inline Serial Tools.

The steps to configure inline constructs are only applied to GigaVUE® HC Series nodes. In a cluster environment, these steps are only applied to GigaVUE® HC Series nodes through the cluster leader.

The inline constructs must all be configured on one GigaVUE‑HC3, GigaVUE‑HC1-Plus, or one GigaVUE‑HC1 node, not across nodes, even if the nodes are in a cluster.

In addition to the steps listed, a map passall, map, or map shared collector is part of the configuration. For more information, refer to Associate Inline Networks with Inline Tools Using Inline Maps.

For out-of-band maps, refer to Out-of-Band (OOB) Map.

For the order in which to configure the software constructs associated with inline bypass solutions, refer to Configuration Steps.
