Configure UCT-V

This section provides the configuration steps for how to install UCT-V in your virtual machines.

Prerequisite:

Before installing UCT-V, you must deploy the GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM. Refer to Configure GigaVUE Fabric Components in GigaVUE-FM for more detailed information.

UCT-V is the primary Gigamon monitoring module that is installed in your Virtual Machines (VMs). UCT-V mirrors the selected traffic from a source interface to a destination mirror interface. The mirrored traffic is encapsulated using GRE or VXLAN tunneling and then sent to the GigaVUE® V Series Node.

Note:  The UCT-V installation is applicable only when the UCT-V is your traffic acquisition method.

A UCT-V can consists of multiple source interface and a single destination interface. The network packets collected from the source interface are sent to the destination interface. From the destination interface, the packets traverse through the L2GRE, VXLAN tunnel interface, or Secure Tunnels to the GigaVUE V Series Node.

A source interface can be configured with one or more Network Interfaces. While configuring a source interface, you can specify the direction of the traffic to be monitored in the instance. The direction of the traffic can be egress or ingress or both.

Note:  For environments with both Windows and Linux or just windows UCT-V, VXLAN tunnels in the UCT-V Controller specification is required.
