Amazon VPC

You must have a Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to launch GigaVUE Fabric Components into your virtual network. To create a VPC, refer to Create a VPC topic in the AWS Documentation.

Your VPC must have the following elements to configure the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS:

Subnet for VPC

VPC must have a subnet to configure the GigaVUE Cloud Suite for AWS components. You can either have the components deployed in a single subnet or in multiple subnets.

  • Management Subnet that GigaVUE-FM uses to communicate with the GigaVUE V Series Nodes and UCT-V Controllers.
  • Data Subnet that can accept incoming mirrored traffic from agents or be used to egress traffic to a tool.

If a single subnet is used, then the Management subnet is also used as a Data Subnet

Security Group

When you launch GigaVUE‑FM, GigaVUE V Series Proxies, GigaVUE V Series Nodes, and UCT-V Controllers, a security group can be utilized to define virtual firewall rules for your instance, which in turn regulates inbound and outbound traffic. You can add rules to manage inbound traffic to instances, and a distinct set of rules to control outbound traffic.

To create a security group, refer to Create a security group topic in the AWS Documentation.

It is recommended to create a separate security group for each component using the rules and port numbers listed in the following table.

The following table lists the Network Firewall / Security Group requirements for GigaVUE Cloud Suite.

Note:  When using dual stack network, the below mentioned ports must be opened for both IPv4 and IPv6.
