Create Raw Endpoint (VMware vCenter)
This section provides step-by-step instructions on configuring a RAW Endpoint (REP) in the Monitoring Session.
Rules and Notes
- Ingress REP is supported only when the Traffic Acquisition Method is selected as Customer Orchestrated Source when configuring the Monitoring Domain. Refer to Create Monitoring Domain for VMware ESXi for more detailed information on how to select the traffic acquisition method.
- GigaVUE-FM expects the IP address to be configured on the GigaVUE V Series Node interface which will be used for creating RAW Endpoint (REP).
Points to Note:
When deploying GigaVUE V Series Nodes in the Monitoring Domain, the number of interfaces varies based on the Traffic Acquisition Method. Refer below for more detailed information:

Configure Raw Endpoint in Monitoring Session
Raw End Point (REP) is used to pass traffic from an interface. REP is used to ingress data from a physical interface attached to GigaVUE V Series Nodes. You can optionally use this end point to send traffic to the applications deployed in the monitoring session.
To add Raw Endpoint to the monitoring session:
- Drag and drop New Raw Endpoint from NEW to the graphical workspace.
- Click the new raw icon and select Details. The Raw quick view page appears.
- Enter the alias and description. In the Alias field, enter a name for the Raw End Point and click Save.
- To deploy the monitoring session after adding the Raw Endpoint click the Deploy from the Actions drop-down menu on the Monitoring Session page.
- The Select nodes to deploy the Monitoring Session dialog box appears. Select the V Series Nodes for which you wish to deploy the monitoring session.
- After selecting the V Series Node, select the interfaces for each of the REPs and the TEPs deployed in the monitoring session from the drop-down menu for the selected individual V Series Nodes. Then, click Deploy.
