Configure Packet Slicing

GigaSMART operations with a slicing component truncate packets after either a specified header/layer and offset (a relative offset) or at a specific offset. Slicing operations are typically configured to preserve specific packet header information, allowing effective network analysis without the overhead of storing full packet data.

Refer to the “GigaSMART Packet Slicing” section in the GigaVUE Fabric Management Guide for details about the packet slicing operations.

Following is an example of how you can configure GigaSMART Packet Slicing:

Summary	Command
This example creates a GigaSMART slicing operation named IPv6_Headers. This operation truncates all packet data starting four bytes after the IPv6 header. The sliced packet would include the DLC, IPv6, and TCP headers, which are often enough for analysis needs.	(config) # gsop alias IPv6_Headers slicing protocol ipv6 offset 4 port-list GS2
