Refer to Create Monitoring Domain for VMware NSX-T for more details.
 

Support to Enable and Disable Administrative State for Egress tunnels

GigaVUE-FM allows you to stop sending traffic to unreachable tools or tools that are in a down state. Each egress tunnel configured on the GigaVUE V Series Node has an administrative state that enables GigaVUE-FM to halt the tunnel's traffic flow. This administrative state is enabled by default. The tunnels will only be disabled by GigaVUE-FM when it receives a notification via REST API indicating that a tool or group of tools is down.

Refer to Create Ingress and Egress Tunnels for more details.
 

Base Bundle for Default Trail License is changed to SecureVUE Plus

GigaVUE-FM offers a free 1TB SecureVUE Plus trial Volume-Based License (VBL) for 30 days, starting from the installation date.

Refer to Default Trial Licenses for more details.
 

Support for UEFI Secure Boot

Secure Boot is a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) feature that provides a verification mechanism for ensuring the device boots using only authorized firmware and software. It prevents running unauthorized, untrusted code. Without Secure Boot, malicious code can easily be executed, and Gigamon platforms can be easily compromised.

GigaVUE-FM supports the UEFI secure boot in the following platforms:

o Azure
o GCP
o KVM
o Microsoft Hyper-V
o Nutanix
o OpenStack

Refer to UEFI Boot for more details.
