Example 1: Unprotected Inline Bypass

Example 1 is a simple, unprotected inline bypass solution. In the example, aliases are used for inline network ports (iN1 and iN2), inline tool ports (iT1 and iT2), inline network (inNet), inline tool (inTool), and inline map (inMap).

On GigaVUE‑HC3, an unprotected inline bypass solution can be configured on the bypass combo module with the inline networks and inline tools on ports 1/1/x1..x16 or on ports c1..c4, or on any other module on the GigaVUE‑HC3 node.

1 Logical Bypass

On GigaVUE‑HC1, an unprotected inline bypass solution can be configured on the base module, with the inline networks and inline tools on ports 1/1/x1..x12 and 1/1/g1..g4, or on the bypass combo module on ports x1..x4.

Example 4: Protected Inline Bypass Using Bypass Combo Modules

Example 4 is a protected inline bypass solution using bypass combo modules on GigaVUE‑HC3. It also configures heartbeat and negative heartbeat profiles.

Protected inline networks are based on the pairs of ports associated with the physical protection switches located on the bypass combo modules. Unlike the unprotected examples, you do not need to configure inline network ports because they are created automatically. On GigaVUE‑HC3, the port pairs are numbered for example: 2/2/x17 and 2/2/x18, 2/2/x19 and 2/2/x20, 2/2/x21 and 2/2/x22, 2/2/x23 and 2/2/x24.

You do not need to configure inline networks because they are also created automatically on bypass combo modules. The aliases of the default inline networks are: default_inline_net_2_2_1, default_inline_net_2_2_2, default_inline_net_2_2_3, default_inline_net_2_2_4.

On GigaVUE‑HC3, protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module on ports c1..c4.

On GigaVUE‑HC1, protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module. It can also be configured on the TAP-HC1-G10040 module placed in either bay 2 or bay 3, so the ports will be 1/2/g1..g8 or 1/3/g1..g8. For an example, refer to Example to Configure Inline Bypass on GigaVUE®HC Series Nodes.

Note:  The default value of the physical-bypass attribute of protected inline networks is set to enable, which means that the fibers attached to ports net-a and net-b of the inline network are optically coupled and the traffic is exchanged between end nodes without coming to the switching fabric of the GigaVUE node. As shown in Example 4, after configuring the inline tool and the map passall, the physical-bypass attribute is set to disable in order to activate the Inline Bypass solution.

Example 8: Inline Network Group (Many-to-One)

Example 8 is an inline bypass solution on GigaVUE‑HC3 for an inline network group. This is a many-to-one example with two inline networks and one inline tool. The inline networks are mix of protected and unprotected.

On GigaVUE‑HC3, unprotected inline bypass can be configured on any module on the node. Protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module on ports c1..c4.

On GigaVUE‑HC1, unprotected inline bypass can be configured on the base module, with the inline networks and inline tools on ports 1/1/x1..x12 and 1/1/g1..g4, or on the bypass combo module on ports x1..x4. Protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module, or on the TAP-HC1-G10040 module placed in either bay 2 or bay 3, so the ports will be 1/2/g1..g8 or 1/3/g1..g8. On the TAP module, you will need to configure inline network ports and the inline network because they are not created automatically (as they are on bypass combo modules).

Example 9: Inline Network Group (Many-to-Many)

Example 9 is an inline bypass solution on GigaVUE‑HC3 for an inline network group. Example 9 expands upon Example 8 by adding a second inline tool. The inline networks are a mix of unprotected and protected.

In addition, user-defined VLAN tags are added in Example 9 to guide traffic from the multiple inline networks in the inline network group.

On GigaVUE‑HC3, unprotected inline bypass can be configured on any module on the node. Protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module on ports c1..c4.

On GigaVUE‑HC1, unprotected inline bypass can be configured on the base module, with the inline networks and inline tools on ports 1/1/x1..x12 and 1/1/g1..g4, or on the bypass combo module on ports x1..x4. Protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module, or on the TAP-HC1-G10040 module placed in either bay 2 or bay 3, so the ports will be 1/2/g1..g8 or 1/3/g1..g8. On the TAP module, you will need to configure inline network ports and the inline network because they are not created automatically (as they are on bypass combo modules).

Example 13: Inline Flow Mapping® Based Solution D

Example 13 is an inline Flow Mapping based solution on GigaVUE‑HC3. Example 13 has a variety of constructs: an inline network group made up of two protected inline networks, an inline tool group, an inline tool series, an individual inline tool, a rule-based map (VLAN 100) from the inline network group to the inline tool group, a rule-based map (portdst 80) from the inline network group to the inline tool series, a rule-based map (ipsrc 10.123.12.57) from the inline network group to the individual inline tool, and a shared collector from the inline network group to bypass.

Since Example 13 uses protected inline networks on GigaVUE‑HC3, they do not need to be configured as described in Example 4: Protected Inline Bypass Using Bypass Combo Modules, so the configuration begins with the inline network group.

On GigaVUE‑HC3, unprotected inline bypass can be configured on any module on the node. Protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module on ports c1..c4.

On GigaVUE‑HC1, unprotected inline bypass can be configured on the base module, with the inline networks and inline tools on ports 1/1/x1..x12 and 1/1/g1..g4, or on the bypass combo module on ports x1..x4. Protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module, or on the TAP-HC1-G10040 module placed in either bay 2 or bay 3, so the ports will be 1/2/g1..g8 or 1/3/g1..g8. On the TAP module, you will need to configure inline network ports and the inline network because they are not created automatically (as they are on bypass combo modules).

Example 14: OOB Maps Originating from Inline Network

Example 14 combines out-of-band (OOB) maps with a map passall originating from an inline network on GigaVUE‑HC3. In Example 14, the map passall sends all traffic to the inline tool. The OOB rule-based map sends traffic to an OOB tool.

When the source port of an OOB map is associated with an inline network, multiple source ports are supported in the port list (the from argument of the map command).

A protected inline network (which uses bypass combo modules) is included in Example 14. You do not need to configure inline network ports because they are created automatically. The port pairs in Example 14 are 1/1/x21 and 1/1/x22. You do not need to configure an inline network because it is also created automatically. The alias of the default inline network in Example 14 is default_inline_net_1_1_3.

On GigaVUE‑HC3, protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module on ports c1..c4.

On GigaVUE‑HC1, protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module, or on the TAP-HC1-G10040 module placed in either bay 2 or bay 3, so the ports will be 1/2/g1..g8 or 1/3/g1..g8. On the TAP module, you will need to configure inline network ports and the inline network because they are not created automatically (as they are on bypass combo modules).

Example 15: OOB Maps Originating from Inline Network Group

Example 15 expands on Example 14 by combining out-of-band (OOB) maps with a map passall originating from an inline network group on GigaVUE‑HC3.

When the source port of an OOB map is associated with an inline network group, only one port is supported in the port list. In this case, multiple OOB maps are needed because each OOB map only accepts one inline network port as the input (the from argument of the map command).

A protected inline network (which uses bypass combo modules) is included in Example 15. You do not need to configure inline network ports or the inline networks because they are created automatically. The port pairs in Example 15 are 1/1/x17 and 1/1/x18, as well as 1/1/x19 and 1/1/x20. The aliases of the default inline networks in Example 15 are default_inline_net_1_1_1 and default_inline_net_1_1_2.

In Example 15, two OOB maps send traffic from each inline network port (associated with default_inline_net_1_1_1) to the OOB tool. Two more maps would be needed to send traffic from each inline network port (associated with default_inline_net_1_1_2) to the OOB tool, but this is not included in Example 15.

On GigaVUE‑HC3, protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module on ports c1..c4.

On GigaVUE‑HC1, protected inline bypass can be configured on the bypass combo module, or on the TAP-HC1-G10040 module placed in either bay 2 or bay 3, so the ports will be 1/2/g1..g8 or 1/3/g1..g8. On the TAP module, you will need to configure inline network ports and the inline network because they are not created automatically (as they are on bypass combo modules).

Example 16: Asymmetrical Hashing in Inline Tool Group

Example 16 is an inline bypass solution on GigaVUE‑HC3 for an inline tool group with four tools. The inline tool group uses asymmetrical hashing (unlike Example 5: Inline Tool Group (N+1) Redundancy which uses symmetrical hashing). The hashing is based on the source IP address for side A and the destination IP address for side B.

A rule-based map (vlan 200) is configured from the inline network to the inline tool group. Traffic that matches the map rule and has the same source IP on side A and destination IP on side B will be sent to the same inline tool in the inline tool group.

A shared collector is configured from the inline network to bypass. Traffic that does not match the map rule will be sent to the shared collector and bypassed.

Example 17: Maps to Individual Inline Tool Group Members

Example 17 is an inline bypass solution on GigaVUE‑HC3 for an inline tool group with four tools. It is similar to Example 16: Asymmetrical Hashing in Inline Tool Group, but has four rule-based inline maps, one to each individual member of the inline tool group. In Example 17, asymmetrical hashing is used, but the hashing could also be symmetrical. The hashing only applies to the traffic sent to the shared collector.

Example 17 is different from Example 5: Inline Tool Group (N+1) Redundancy. In Example 5, all the traffic was sent to the inline tool group as a whole, using a map passall. Hashing distributed the traffic across the group.

With the multiple rule-based maps in Example 17, specific traffic is sent to specific tools in the inline tool group according to the rules. Each of the four inline maps directs traffic from one source IP address to a specific inline tool in the group.

A shared collector is configured from the inline network to the inline tool group. Traffic that does not match any of the map rules is sent to the shared collector and will be distributed according to the hashing value specified for the group.

Example 18: Gigamon Resiliency for Inline Protection

You can configure Gigamon Resiliency for inline protection on H Series nodes (GigaVUE‑HC1, and GigaVUE‑HC3). Example 18 is an inline bypass solution for GRIP using TAP-HC1-G10040 modules on GigaVUE‑HC1 with copper ports. The same instructions apply to GigaVUE‑HC3.

First, configure the GigaVUE‑HC1 with the primary role, then configure the GigaVUE‑HC1 with the secondary role. The configuration is the same (is synchronized) on both nodes, except for step 3, in which the protection role (primary or secondary) is specified.

Note that in this example, link fail propagation (LFP) is disabled to reduce inline network recovery time after failover. When a primary to secondary failover occurs and LFP is enabled for copper inline bypass links, network service recovery may take several seconds because of Ethernet link renegotiation. Optical links failover faster and typically recover service much faster. For inline networks where only one path is available, this is a consideration. When GRIP is deployed with high availability networks where a second path is present, it is a best practice to leave LFP enabled.
