Chassis Cooling
The fans on the GigaVUE-HC1 run at 100% of their maximum speed on power up,
then drop to approximately 65% during normal operations. The fans are deployed
in 2+1 redundancy mode, meaning that a single fan can fail and immediately the
third fan can help the chassis maintain the appropriate cooling temperature at
40ºC ambient.They are also hotswappable.Refer to Module Removal and
Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal) for more information on hot-swapping the
module. The temperatures of five components: intake, exhaust, CPU, switch CPU,
and GigaSMART CPU temperatures, are monitored. When a component crosses a pre-
defined threshold, the fan speed is adjusted dynamically, in increments of
approximately 10%. An SNMP trap is sent when a component reaches the threshold
for warning, alert, or critical temperature conditions. Refer to Table 2:
Component Temperature Thresholds and Actions for the temperatures at which the
warning, alert, and critical traps are sent.

Figure 4 TAP-HC0-G10040 Module
Using the TAP-HC1-G10040 Module for Copper Bypass
The network ports on the TAP-HC1-G10040 module can be configured through
software to be inline network ports. This allows the TAP-HC1-G10040 module to
act as a copper bypass module, providing protected inline networks for copper
ports. To use the copper bypass functionality, the GigaVUE-HC1 must be running
GigaVUE-OS version 4.8 or higher. For configuration information, refer to the
chapter “Configuring Inline Bypass Solution on GigaVUE H Series TAP Modules”
in the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide.
Using TAP-HC1-G10040 Module for Gigamon Resiliency for Inline Protection
Gigamon Resiliency for Inline Protection (GRIP)TM is an inline bypass solution
that connects two GigaVUE-HC1 nodes together so that one node provides high
availability to the other node when there is a loss of power. This redundant
arrangement of two GigaVUE-HC1 nodes maintains traffic monitoring by inline
tools when one of the nodes is down. GRIPTM makes use of the bypass protection
switch relays for protected inline networks on GigaVUE-HC1 nodes. The TAP-
HC1-G10040 module can provide physical protection for protected pairs of
copper inline network ports required by the GRIP solution. For solution and
configuration information, refer to the chapter “Configuring Inline Bypass
Solutions” in the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide.
BPS-HC1-D25A24 Bypass Combo Module
There is one 10Gb bypass combo module as follows:
Introducing the GigaVUE-HC1 GigaVUE-HC1 Modules
17
GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
Bypass Combo Module with two SX/SR (50/125m multimode) inline network port
pairs and four regular SFP+ port cages (BPS-HC1-D25A24) (Figure 5Bypass Combo
Module BPS-HC1-D25A24)
Before installing the BPS-HC1-D25A24 Bypass Combo Module, the GigaVUE-HC1 must
be running software version 5.0 or higher. For internal transceiver and loss
summary specifications, refer to Bypass Combo Module Specifications.
Bypass Combo Modules
Security tools such as firewall and intrusion detection/protection systems are
often connected inline on production networks, with traffic flowing from the
network segment through the tool and then back onto the production network.
The GigaVUE-HC1 offers physical and logical inline bypass. Physical bypass
provides automatic failover protection in the case of a power failure. The
bypass combo modules provide the physical bypass function. As it applies to a
single pair of inline network ports, the physical bypass function is as
follows:
When the module is not powered, (either the entire node is powered down or the
module is removed from the node), the inline network port pair is in the
physical bypass mode. That means that traffic is exchanged directly between
network Port A and network Port B of the inline network pair.
When the module is powered, the mode (inline or bypass) of the inline network
port pair is controlled through software. In the physical bypass mode, the
inline network port pair behaves exactly as if the module was not powered. In
the inline mode, the inline network port pair behaves as any other inline
network port pair configured for working with an inline tool.
Features of the 10Gb Bypass Combo Module
The 10Gb bypass combo module has the following features:
Two inline network port pairs that pass traffic bi-directionally. Port pairs
that offer optical protection switch for physical bypass. Four regular
SFP/SFP+ ports that can operate at 1Gb/10Gb, and SFP+ ports that can
operate at 10Gb. These ports can be configured as any port type. A mode to
select either bypass or inline. A module that is hot swappable. Refer to
procedures in Module Removal and
Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal).

Module Status LEDs
The following module status LEDs are located on the front of the bypass combo
module: RDY is the Ready LED. It has the following states: o RED indicates
system booting or module down o GREEN indicates normal condition POWER is the
Power LED. It has the following state: o GREEN indicates the module is
receiving power
Port Status LEDs
The SFP+ Port Status LEDs have the following states: Off indicates that the
port is disabled or the link is down GREEN indicates that the link is
established
Ports
You can configure any two of the four 10Gb ports as an inline tool port pair
and connect an inline tool to them. For tool ports, you can also use ports on
any module in the chassis, including ports on other bypass combo modules or
ports on other GigaVUE-HC1 modules. Ports have the following labels: X1 to X4.
In the CLI, these ports are referred to as: x1 to x4.
Inline Network Ports
Connect inline networks to the inline network ports. The inline network ports
have built-in protection for power down. The inline network status LEDs have
the following labels:
A1–Inline network LED A (for network 1 through network 2) B1–Inline network
LED B (for network 1 through network 2) M1–Mode LED (on is inline and off is
bypass)

provided for unpacking and rack-mounting the GigaVUE-HC1 nodes, as well as
installing and removing modules. Refer to the following sections for details:
Unpacking the GigaVUE-HC1 Shipment Rack-Mounting the GigaVUE-HC1 Chassis
Installing and Removing Modules Procedure Module Removal and Replacement
Procedure (Hot Removal) Next Steps
Unpacking the GigaVUE-HC1 Shipment
The GigaVUE-HC1 node is shipped with either DC or AC power supply modules,
fans, and filler panels installed. The chassis and parts kit are shipped in
one box modules are shipped in separate boxes. Use the following procedure
to unpack the node:
1. Inspect the shipping boxes. If any of the cartons were damaged, file a
claim with the carrier who delivered them.
2. Open the box containing the GigaVUE-HC1 chassis and remove the parts kit
from the top of the shipment. The parts kit contains the power cords, console
cable and adapter, and power supply module covers.
3. Open the additional boxes containing the ordered modules and set them
aside for assembly (each module is shipped in separate boxes).
4. Leave all protective filler panels in place in the chassis. DO NOT install
the modules yet. Gigamon recommends rack-mounting the GigaVUE-HC1 chassis
empty.

GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
Rack-Mounting the GigaVUE-HC1 Chassis
This section describes how to rack-mount the GigaVUE-HC1 chassis in a standard
1RU rack space using the hardware provided with the chassis. You can install
the GigaVUE-HC1 chassis in two-post or four-post racks with a minimum depth of
16in (40.64cm).
Safety Precautions
Before you get started rack-mounting the GigaVUE-HC1 chassis, make sure you
have read the following safety precautions:
There are a wide variety of racks available on the market. Make sure you
consult the instructions provided by your rack vendor for detailed mounting
instructions before installing the GigaVUE-HC1 chassis.
Make sure you install any stabilizers provided for the rack before installing
the chassis. Unsecured racks can tip over and cause injury or death.
Make sure you install devices in the rack from the bottom up with the heaviest
devices at the bottom.
Make sure you provide adequate ventilation to the nodes installed in the rack.
Rack-Mounting Procedure
Use the following procedure to rack-mount the GigaVUE-HC1 chassis:
1. Decide whether you want to front-mount or center-mount the chassis in the
rack. Front-mounted nodes will sit flush with the front of the rack while
center-mounted nodes will extend in front of it.
NOTE: The GigaVUE-HC1 chassis is not shipped with its standard rack ears
attached. However, they are available in the accessory kit. Install the rack
ears facing towards the node for a front-mounting position. You can reverse
the direction of the rack-ears to center-mount the node.
Figure 2 Rack Ears for Front Mount (Reverse Rack Ears for Center Mount)
Assembling the GigaVUE-HC1 Node Rack-Mounting the GigaVUE-HC1 Chassis
28
GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
2. Make sure you have not installed any modules in the chassis yet. Gigamon
recommends rack-mounting the GigaVUE-HC1 chassis before installing modules to
make it easier to handle the chassis during the installation.
3. Select a suitable location for the rack that will hold the GigaVUE-HC1
chassis. Choose a location that is clean, dust free, and well-ventilated. You
will need access to grounded power sources. Avoid areas where heat, electrical
wire, and electromagnetic fields are generated.
Plan for enough clearance in front of a rack so you can access the modules
easily (approximately 25in [63.50cm]) and enough clearance in the back of the
rack to allow sufficient airflow and installation of the rear components such
as power supply modules.
4. Locate an open 1RU rack space and lift the node into place. It takes two
people to lift to place the GigaVUE-HC1 in the rack. Insert a screw through
the rack ear on each side into the rack, to hold the node in place. Tighten
the screws.
5. Carefully lift the chassis into the rack and place a screw on each side to
hold the chassis.
6. Tighten the screws and add additional screws to secure the node. Use two
screws on each rack ear.
Four-Post Rack Mounting
To mount the GigaVUE-HC1 in a four-post rack, use rack ears and full-length
brackets. The rack ears attach at the front of the unit and the brackets
attach at the rear, as follows:
Attach the rack ears so they face towards the front of the system for mounting
in fourpost racks.
Attach the full-length brackets to the sides of the GigaVUE-HC1 with enough
free play to position them to fit your rack’s dimensions. After the brackets
are attached to the rack’s rear posts, tighten the bracket connections to the
sides of the GigaVUE-HC1.
Refer to Figure 3Extended Bracket Installation for the four-post rack
installation using the extended brackets.

GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
Installing and Removing Modules Procedure
The procedure for installing modules is to remove the filler panels, install
the module, then fasten with the ejector lever and tighten the thumb screw on
top of the lever. The following procedure has the details.
Hot Swapping Modules
Modules are hot-swappable they can be installed or removed from the chassis
with the power on. To remove a module safely with the power on, you must
follow the procedure in Module Removal and Replacement Procedure (Hot
Removal). Install proper software versions prior to inserting any new modules.
Gigamon often makes new modules available for GigaVUE-HC1 nodes. New modules
are usually introduced starting with a new software release. Make sure you
install the supporting software release before physically installing the new
module. If you do install a new module before its supporting release, the
module will appear in the show cards output with an Operational Status of
unsupported. In some cases, if you subsequently upgrade the node to the
release that does support the new module, it can appear persistently in the
show cards output with an Operational Status of inserted. To make the module
operational, you must unconfigure it with the no card slot x command, followed
by configuring the module with card slot x.
Module Installation Procedure
Use the following procedure to install GigaVUE-HC1 modules:
1. Make sure you are wearing an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle strap.
2. Locate the modules and remove them from their packaging.
3. Remove the protective filler panels from the target bays for all modules
to be installed. Keep the filler panels so they can be easily reused if the
module is ever removed. You can install modules in either of the two available
front bays on the GigaVUE-HC1.
NOTE: To prevent any improper air flow and overheating the node, do not leave
any bays uncovered.
4. Pull out the lever on the top of the module. Carefully slide the module
into the bay. Push the lever back in and tighten using the thumb screw on the
lever.

Configuring Basic GigaVUE H Series H Series Settings
This section describes how to perform the initial configuration of basic
GigaVUE H Series H Series node settings over a serial terminal connection to
the console port. The system administrator must initially log in with a
default admin account using a default password, and then must immediately
change the password through the jump-start script. Refer to Access the
Command-Line Interface over the Console Port. Once you have used the console
port to configure the Mgmt port’s network properties, you can configure the
GigaVUE H Series H Series node remotely using the Mgmt port’s network
connection. The same commands are available in the GigaVUE-OS command-line
interface regardless of whether you are connected over the Mgmt or console
port.
Access the Command-Line Interface over the Console Port
Use the console port on the left side of the base chassis to access the
GigaVUE-HC1 as follows:
1. Make the basic power and console cable connections described in Connecting
Serial Console and Mgmt Ports and power on GigaVUE-HC1.
2. Start a terminal application on the PC. Common terminal applications
include TeraTerm, PuTTY, and Hyperterminal.
3. Select the COM port connected to the console cable attached to control
module. For example, COM1.
4. Configure the port settings for the console connection as follows: o Bits
per second 115,200 o Data bits 8 o Parity None o Stop bits 1 o Flow
control None Figure 5Setting COM Port Properties for the Console Connection
shows an example of how these settings are configured in Hyperterminal.

5. Start the terminal connection. You may need to press Enter a few times
before you see the login: prompt.
6. Log in to the command-line interface with the following default user
account and password:
User:admin
Password:admin123A!
The configuration jump-start automatically starts and forces a password
change. The system administrator must change the password on the default admin
account through the jump-start script. The default password (admin123A!) is no
longer allowed. Refer to Run the Jump-Start Script for details. A password
must meet the following standards:
include 8-64 characters include at least one numeral include at least one
upper case letter include at least one lower case letter include at least one
special character (for example, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, or * ASCII 0x21,
0x2F, 0x3A, 0x40, 0x5B, 0x5F, 0x7B, 0x7E) Must not include the user name or
parts of full-name. At the Admin password? prompt in the jump-start script,
enter a new password that meets the standards, then confirm the password. You
will also configure some Admin and Monitor level users with the procedure
described in Initial User Account Configuration.
Run the Jump-Start Script
Gigamon provides GigaVUE H Series nodes with a jump-start script that walks
you through the process of configuring basic settings. Run this script as
follows:
1. Switch to Configure mode.

Hostname Management Port Network Settings
Enable IPv6?
The hostname appears in the system prompt and is used to identify the chassis
in SNMP traps.
Use either DHCP or specify a static IP address and netmask. If you do not use
DHCP, you are prompted to configure the following additional options:
Default Gateway Supply the IP address of the default gateway for the node.
DNS Server Supply the IP address of the DNS server for the node. A valid DNS
server is required for successful use of TACACS+.
Domain Name Supply the domain name for the node (for example, mycompany.com).
You can enable the use of IPv6 for the management port. IPv6 is used in
addition to IPv4 if you enable this option. If you enable the IPv6 you have
the option of enabling IPv6 auto-configuration or specifying a static address.

to the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide for information on security.
The password for the admin account must be changed to a non-default password.
Enable cluster support if this node will be a part of a cluster of connected
GigaVUE H Series nodes. If you enable cluster support, the jump-start script
prompts you to supply the Cluster ID, Cluster Name, and Cluster Mgmt Virtual
IP Address. You can join an existing cluster by supplying values that match
existing settings.
NOTE: For clustered nodes configured to use the eth1 port on a control card as
both the Mgmt and Cluster Management port, keep in mind that NTP is also used
over the eth0 Mgmt port on the GigaVUE H Series H Series node. In a case like
this, you can only use one or the other.
If clustering is enabled, you will not be prompted for a box ID in the next
step. Refer to the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide for information on setting
up a cluster.
Supply a numerical box ID for the node. This box ID is used to identify
network/tool ports in the node the format is box ID/ slot ID/port ID. You
will be prompted for a box ID only if clustering was not enabled in the
previous step.
4. Review your settings. You can change a setting by specifying its listed
line number and re-entering the setting.
5. When you are satisfied with your settings, exit the script as prompted.
GigaVUE H Series automatically saves your settings.
6. Restart the node with the reload command.
Need to Change Any Settings?
If you need to change any of the settings you made in the jump-start script,
you can either run the script again or change individual settings using the
following commands in the Configure command mode:

Command-Line Basics
This section provides a quick orientation to the GigaVUE-OS command-line
interface how to enter commands, how to get help, and so on.
Command-Line Modes
The GigaVUE-OS can operate in one of three modes, each with its own set of
available commands Standard, Enable, and Configure. When you first launch
the CLI, you start in Standard mode with access to a limited amount of
commands used to review node status. As you move from Standard mode to Enable
mode to Configure mode, both the power and the number of commands available
increase, as summarized in Figure 6GigaVUE-OS Command-Line Modes.

NOTE: If you are working simultaneously with multiple GigaVUE H Series nodes,
you may want to assign each a separate hostname so its easy to identify
separate terminal sessions from the system prompt. Admin users can do this in
Configure mode with the hostname
Entering Commands in the CLI
The GigaVUE-OS provides several conventions that make it easy to identify
available commands and enter them quickly:

GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
SSH
SSH2 is available for remote connections to the GigaVUE-HC1’s Mgmt port. By
default, SSH2 is enabled. Use the ssh commands in Configure mode to enable or
disable the corresponding connections. To disable the corresponding
connection, you include no before the command, as demonstrated in the
following table. For example:
Command
Enable: (config) # ssh server enable Disable: (config) # no ssh server enable
Notes
When SSH2 is enabled, use any compliant SSH2 client to connect to the command-
line interface remotely. For example, to connect using the popular SSH2
client, PuTTY:
a. Start PuTTY and enter the GigaVUE H Series H Series node’s IP address in
the Host Name field.
b. Click the SSH protocol radio button. c. Click Open to open a connection.
If this is your first connection PuTTY warns you that the host key presented
by the GigaVUE H Series H Series node is not in your cache. You can add the
key, connect without adding the key, or cancel the connection. Refer to
Verifying Host Keys During Connection for information on how to verify that
the host key shown is the correct one. d. Log in with GigaVUE H Series
credentials.
Advantages of SSH2
SSH2 is a secure choice for remote connections, providing an encrypted channel
instead of relying on clear text. It also provides stronger user
authentication capabilities, including the use of a public host key. Host keys
uniquely identify a server, helping guarantee that the server you are
connecting to is the server you think it is. GigaVUE H Series includes default
RSA v1/v2 and DSAv2-encrypted public host keys (SSH2 supports both RSA and DSA
encryption algorithms). The first time you connect to GigaVUE H Series with an
SSH2 client, the client will warn you that the host keys are not in your local
cache and show you the actual host key presented by the GigaVUE-HC1. Your
client will most likely give you the option of trusting the key, adding it to
your local cache. Once you have trusted the key, your client will alert you
during connection if a different key is presented.
Verifying Host Keys During Connection To verify that the host key presented
during an SSH2 connection is in fact the GigaVUE H Series node’s, you can
connect over the console port (refer to Access the Command-Line Interface over
the Console Port on page 37) and use the show ssh server host-keys command to
see the current public host keys and fingerprints for the GigaVUE-HC1. Paste
these in a file and keep them nearby when you connect via SSH2 the first time.
This way, you
Basic GigaVUE H Series Connections and Configuration Completing the Initial GigaVUE H Series H Series Setup
52
GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
will be able to compare the actual host key to what your SSH2 client says is
being presented. Once you have verified that they are the same, you can choose
to trust the host key, allowing future connections to take place seamlessly.
Changing Host Keys
Use the ssh server host-key generate command to change the default host keys
provided with the GigaVUE-HC1. The command has the following syntax:
ssh server host-key <rsa1 | rsa2 |dsa2> <private-key | public-key> generate
For example, to configure a new RSAv1 public hostkey, you could use the
following command:
(config) # ssh server host-key rsa1 public-key generate
Enabling the GigaVUE H Series H Series Web Server
GigaVUE-FM is Gigamon’s Web-based management interface for the GigaVUE H
Series H Series. Use GigaVUE-FM for many node configuration, management, and
operations tasks. To use GigaVUE-FM with a GigaVUE H Series H Series node, you
must enable its Web server with the web enable command. For example:
(config) # web enable
Check the status of the Web server using the show web command. Make sure that
Webbased management console enabled: is set to yes, indicating that the Web
server is enabled. For example:

GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
Once the Web server is enabled, you can use GigaVUE-FM for GigaVUE H Series H
Series connections, as described in Connecting to the GigaVUE H Series H
Series Node from GigaVUE-FM. Refer to the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide for
information on other Web server settings you can configure.
Connecting to the GigaVUE H Series H Series Node from GigaVUE-FM
After you enable the Web server on the GigaVUE H Series H Series node, it
automatically listens for connections from GigaVUE-FM using either HTTP on
port 80 or HTTPS on port 443. Use the following procedure to connect to a
GigaVUE H Series H Series node using GigaVUE-FM.
NOTE: You can configure whether the GigaVUE H Series H Series node redirects
all incoming HTTP connections to the HTTPS port with the web http redirect
command.
1. Open a supported browser. Refer to the GigaVUE Fabric Management Guide.
2. Enter one of the following URLs:
https://
3. The first time you connect to GigaVUE-FM, your browser will prompt you

Refer to the online help for details on configuring and operating the GigaVUE-
HC1 from the GigaVUE-FM interface. Keep in mind that each of the initial
configuration settings described in the rest of this chapter can also be set
in GigaVUE-FM.
Initial User Account Configuration
Before you start mapping traffic, you must change the password for the admin
account and add a few other accounts for use by different level users. (You
may have already used the jump-start script to change the password for the
admin account.)
Changing the admin Account Password
To change the password for the admin account using the username command, refer
to the following:
(config) # username admin password
Passwords must meet the following standards: o Include 8-64 characters. o
Include at least one numeral o Include at least one capital letter o Include
at least one special character (for example, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, or * ASCII
0x21,
0x2F, 0x3A, 0x40, 0x5B, 0x5F, 0x7B, 0x7E). Enter a new password that meets the
standards and confirm the password.
Setting Up Some Basic Accounts
1. Next, you will probably want to set a few user accounts with different
access levels. The GigaVUE H Series H Series node has a local account database
that can optionally integrate with an LDAP, RADIUS, or TACACS+ server for
authentication. Any account you want to authenticate using an external AAA
server must have a matching account name in the local database.
Basic GigaVUE H Series Connections and Configuration Completing the Initial GigaVUE H Series H Series Setup
55
GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
Authentication, user levels, and roles are discussed in detail in the GigaVUE-
OS CLI Reference Guide. For now, however, it is easiest to simply create a few
basic user accounts with different privilege levels. In general, user
privileges are as follows: o Admin users have access to all command modes,
including Standard, Enable, and
Configure. They also have full permissions for all network, tool, and stack
ports. o Operator users have access to all command modes, including Standard,
Enable, and Configure.
However, they only have access to the network and tool ports associated with
their user group.
New users are created with the operator role by default. You can add
additional roles with the username
The following username commands create a new admin user and a new operator
user:
Command
(config) # username psandoval password Nine9.Eight8! (config) # username
psandoval roles add admin
(config) # username bcrawford password Seven7.Six6!
Comments Creates a new account named psandoval with a password, and grants it
admin privileges.
Creates a new account named bcrawford with a password. New users are
automatically created with default operator level privileges, so there is no
need to grant an additional role.
2. Once you have configured these basic user accounts, use the show usernames
and show roles commands to review your settings.
Configuring the GigaVUE H Series H Series Host Name
It is generally a good idea to configure the GigaVUE H Series H Series node’s
name, date, and time as part of your initial configuration. The following
command shows how to set the node name. Refer to Configuring GigaVUE H Series
H Series Time Options for information on setting options related to time and
date.
Setting the Node Name
1. Use the hostname command to specify the node name. For example:
(config) # hostname GigaVUE H Series-QA
Basic GigaVUE H Series Connections and Configuration Completing the Initial GigaVUE H Series H Series Setup
56
GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
Configuring GigaVUE H Series H Series Time Options
The GigaVUE H Series H Series node includes a variety of features for setting
the time, including:
Method System Clock
One-Time NTP Synchronization Persistent NTP Synchronization
PTP Synchronization
CLI Command
clock set hh:mm:ss yyyy/mm/dd
ntpdate
Add server using ntp server command. Enable use of ntp with ntp enable
command.

For more information: Setting Time Manually on page 59
Performing One-Time NTP Server Synchronization on page 60 Using NTP Time
Server for Clock Synchronization on page 60
Refer to the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide (Reserved for future use)
Setting Time Manually
The easiest way to set the GigaVUE H Series H Series node’s time is manually
with the clock set command. For example:
(config) # clock set 05:18:38 2015/01/06
NOTE: Even if you are using NTP, configure time manually as well. The GigaVUE
H Series H Series node will automatically fall back to the manual time setting
if it is unable to synchronize with the specified time server.
The show ntp command shows the current state of the NTP server in use; the
show clock command shows the current GigaVUE H Series H Series node’s time.
Performing One-Time NTP Server Synchronization
You can perform a one-time synchronization with an NTP server using the
ntpdate command. For example:
(config) # ntpdate time.nist.gov
NOTE: This method does not provide updates to correct clock drift over time.
It is generally preferable to use persistent NTP synchronization with the ntp
commands.
Using NTP Time Server for Clock Synchronization
The GigaVUE H Series H Series node can optionally use one or more NTP servers
for its time setting. Use the following procedure to add an NTP server to the
GigaVUE H Series H Series node’s list and enable the use of NTP.
1. Specify the address of the time server. For example, if the time server is
on 192.168.1.10, you would use the following command:
Basic GigaVUE H Series Connections and Configuration Completing the Initial GigaVUE H Series H Series Setup
57
GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
(config) # ntp server 192.168.1.10
NOTE: There are many public NTP servers available on the Internet.
2. Turn on NTP with the following command:
(config) # ntp enable
3. The GigaVUE H Series H Series node connects to the specified NTP server
and synchronizes to its time.
4. NTP reports times in UTC. Because of this, it is a good idea to specify
the GigaVUE H Series H Series node’s timezone so that UTC can be converted to
the local timezone.
You specify the timezone either in terms of the offset from UTC (either plus
or minus) or with a particular location’s name, depending on the argument you
choose for the clock timezone command: o Offset from UTC Set the timezone as
an offset from UTC with the UTC-offset
argument. For example, the following command sets the timezone as eight hours
earlier than UTC:
(config) # clock UTC-offset UTC-8
o Location You can specify a particular location’s timezone to use. The
easiest way to do this is to build the available list of cities by adding a
space and a question mark after each subsequent zone word. For example, enter
(config) # clock timezone ? to see the list of available locations. Select a
location and use the same question mark technique to see the next available
zone words. This way, you can build out to the exact location you need. For
example:
(config) # clock timezone America North United_States Pacific(config) # clock
timezone Asia Eastern Hong_Kong
Once you have finished configuring NTP options, use the show ntp command to
check the status of clock synchronization (Figure 8Checking NTP Status and
Configuration).
Figure 8 Checking NTP Status and Configuration
Configuring Automatic Email Notifications
The GigaVUE H Series H Series node provides powerful email notification
capabilities, automatically sending emails to specified addresses when any of
a wide variety of events take place on the node. Gigamon strongly recommends
that you configure this feature so you have immediate visibility of events
affecting node health.
Basic GigaVUE H Series Connections and Configuration Completing the Initial GigaVUE H Series H Series Setup
58
GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
You configure automatic email notifications with the email command and its arguments. Start by making sure the CLI is in Configure mode. If the (config) entry appears in the system prompt, you are in Configure mode. If not, use the enable and configure terminal commands sequentially to change to Configure mode. Then, configure email notifications as follows:
Description
Command
First, use the email mailhub command to specify the mail server to use for notification emails. In this example, we are using the email server named smtp.emailsrvr.com. You could also supply an IP address instead of a hostname.
(config) # email mailhub smtp.emailsrvr.com
Next, use the email auth command to supply the email account username and password. In this example, we are using [email protected] with a password of mypassword123.
(config) # email auth username [email protected]
(config) # email auth password mypassword123
Now that we have set up the account to use, we will turn on email authentication.
(config) # email auth enable
Now that we have configured the settings that let the node send emails, set up who to send them to and when to send them. Use email notify recipient to configure the destinations for event notification emails. You can specify multiple destinations separated by commas with no spaces.
(config) # email notify recipient [email protected],[email protected]
The email notify event command lets you configure which events will trigger automatic emails. There are quite a few events available start by entering email notify event ? to see the list of available events. You can either enable individual events, or, use the all argument to enable them all. We are going to start with the all setting and tune settings as necessary later on.
(config) # email notify event all
Basic GigaVUE H Series Connections and Configuration Completing the Initial GigaVUE H Series H Series Setup
59
GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
Description
Command
It is a good idea to check your settings and make sure emails are sent successfully. You can do that with the email send-test command. If you do not receive the email, check the show log output to make sure the email was sent. Then, reconfigure email settings, if necessary.
(config) # email send-test
You may also want to configure and enable autosupport emails. Autosupport emails are sent directly to Gigamon’s Technical Support department when specified events take place, enabling proactive problem resolution. The GigaVUE H Series H Series node is preconfigured with the correct destination address you just need to enable the feature with the following command.
(config) email autosupport enable
Use show email events to see the list of events for which autosupport emails will be sent. You can change the list with the (no) email autosupport event command.
Emails will now be sent automatically to the configured addresses when any of the selected events take place.
There are many other options for fine-tuning automatic email settings, including how to handle “dead letters” (emails that did not reach their recipient), how the email address of the GigaVUE H Series H Series node should appear, the port for the email server, the reply-to address, and so on. Refer to the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide for details.
Using a Custom Banner
The GigaVUE H Series H Series node can display a customizable text banner at
node startup before a user logs in. This way, users connecting to the node see
the banner before they log in, giving them an idea of which node they are
logging in to. The banner also appears after a user logs outs. Use the banner
login “
(config) # banner login “Pacific Call Center”
NOTE: You only need to use quotation marks for the
The next time you log in or out of the GigaVUE H Series H Series node, you
will see the customizable banner.
Saving Changes
It is a good idea to use the write memory command to save changes as you make
them. Later on, when you start setting up packet distribution with connections
and maps, your changes will added to the active configuration right away but
will not be saved across a node reboot unless you use the write memory command
to save your changes to flash.

Connecting GigaVUE-HC1 Ports
This chapter describes transceivers and port connections. In general,
connecting GigaVUE-HC1 module ports to the network is as simple as installing
a transceiver and connecting the correct cable to data sources or
destinations. Refer to the following sections for details:
Transceiver–Rules and Notes Transceiver Installation Instructions Copper TAP
Specifications Bypass Combo Module Specifications Connecting GigaVUE-HC1 Ports
Transceiver–Rules and Notes
Keep in mind the following rules and notes when you connect and use GigaVUE-
HC1 nodes with transceivers:
Always use transceivers purchased from Gigamon to ensure interoperability and
performance. Gigamon does not support transceivers purchased from other
vendors.
After removing an optical transceiver, the best practice is to wait seventeen
(17) or more seconds before re-inserting the same or different optical
transceiver. This includes the intervals between removal/insertion/re-
insertion.
Use the show port params all command to see transceiver type information for
each of the network/tool ports in the GigaVUE-HC1 node. Check the value of the
SFP type field for the ports in question.
Port numbers starting with x (for example, x10) are 10Gb or 1Gb depending on
the transceiver installed.
NOTE: For details about the supported transceivers, cable types, and
connectivity specifications, refer to “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and
Interoperability Matrix”.
Transceiver Installation Instructions
Gigamon transceivers are keyed and can only be installed in one direction.
Transceivers are hot-swappable they can be installed or removed with the
power on or off. Use the following procedures to install and remove SFPs from
GigaVUE H Series modules. IMPORTANT: Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or
ankle strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact when installing or
removing SFP/SFP+ transceivers. The strap can be connected to one of the
following:
o ESD wrist strap connector. o Captive installation screws on an installed
module or power supply module.

o Any unpainted surface on the chassis.
Installing Transceivers
1. Remove the dust cap from the port and set it aside for future use. 2.
Orient the transceiver with the opening in the module and insert it into the
slot. 3. Push gently but firmly until the transceiver is seated in the slot.
4. Close the latch on the SFP to lock it into the slot.
Removing Transceivers
1. Disconnect the cable (if any) from the transceiver. 2. If you are removing
a fiber-optic transceiver, install dust caps in the transceiver to
protect the optical interfaces. 3. Open the latch on the transceiver and
gently remove it from the slot. 4. If you are not installing a new
transceiver, install a dust cap in the open slot on the
module.

Connecting GigaVUE-HC1 Ports
Connecting network and tool ports on GigaVUE-HC1 base chassis ports and
modules is generally as simple as connecting a cable between the
source/destination device and the GigaVUE-HC1 port. You just need to make sure
that the modules and ports on the GigaVUE-HC1 node are enabled and their
parameters are configured correctly. Refer to the following sections for
details:
Enabling Modules and Ports Make sure that the modules and ports you want to
use are enabled. Newly installed modules must be configured with the card
command and their ports enabled with port
Setting Port Parameters Manually- If both ends of the connection are using
autonegotiation, no manual configuration is typically necessary. However, if
autonegotiation is not used (or is not successful), you can use these
instructions to configure port parameters manually.
Enabling Modules and Ports
Use the following procedure to ensure that all modules are configured and
ports enabled:
1. Connect to console port as described in Access the Command-Line Interface
over the Console Port.
2. Wait at least two minutes after the system prompt appears and then switch
to Configure mode.

GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide
The GigaVUE-HC1 node provides three command entry modes, each with
increasingly powerful rights Standard, Enable, and Configure. Module and
port configuration commands are only available in Configure mode:
a. Type en
The system prompt changes from [hostname] > to [hostname] #.
b. Type config t
The system prompt changes from [hostname] # to [hostname] (config) #.
3. Use the following command to check module status:
(config) # show cards
4. Check the values in the Config Status and Oper Status columns for all
modules and verify that they read Yes for configured and Up for inserted. This
is your indication that the node is ready for further configuration.
5. If the Config Status does not show Configured for all modules after two
minutes, take the action corresponding to your show cards output, as follows:
show cards Output:
Corrective Action
Config Status does not show Configured for any cards (including base chassis)
(config) # chassis box-id
Config Status shows Configured for base chassis but not one or more modules
(config) # card slot x
NOTE: If all modules are unconfigured, you can also use the card all command.
If some cards are already configured, however (for example, because you just
installed a new card), it is better to use slot x for the unconfigured cards.
The card command initializes the unconfigured module. However, it can only be used after the node’s box ID has been configured, as reported at the top of the show cards output (shown below).
6. Use the show cards command again to verify the following:
o Box ID is not empty. o Config Status shows configured for all modules. o Oper Status shows up for all modules.
The show cards command output for a GigaVUE-HC1 displays the properly configured modules.
HC1(config)# show cards

7. Use the port command with the admin argument to enable the ports on the
module. For example, the following two commands enable all ports on a TAP-
HC1-G10040 module:
(config) # port 1/1/x1..x12 params admin enable
8. Save your changes so that the modules and ports come up automatically at
the next reboot:
(config) # write memory
Setting Port Parameters Manually
If autonegotiation is not enabled on the other end of the connection, you must manually
configure the port params of the GigaVUE-HC1 module port to match, followed by a write
to save the current settings. The port params commands are available in the Configure mode. The syntax is as follows:
port
admin <disable | enable>
autoneg <disable |
enable>
discovery <cdp | lldp | all | disable>
duplex
forcelinkup <disable | enable>
speed <10 | 100 | 1000 |
10000>
taptx <active | passive>
The following table summarizes these options:
Argument
Description
admin <disable | enable> autoneg <disable | enable>
discovery <cdp | lldp | all | disable>
duplex
Enables/disables ports administratively. Use the show port params command to
see which ports are enabled and disabled. Refer to Forcelinkup and
Enabling/Disabling Ports on page 80 for a summary of how this argument
interacts with the admin argument.
Enables and disables autonegotiation for a port. When autonegotiation is
enabled, duplex and speed settings are ignored (they are set via
autonegotiation). Refer to Forcelinkup and Enabling/Disabling Ports on page 80
for a summary of how this argument interacts with the admin argument.
Autonegotiation is always disabled for 10Gb ports. For 1Gb speeds over copper,
autonegotiation must be enabled, per the IEEE 802.3 specification. Gb optical
ports cannot enable autoneg.
Configures port discovery options, as follows: cpd–Enables CDP port discovery.
lldp–Enables LLDP port discovery. all–Enables all port discovery protocols
(meaning both CDP and LLDP). disable–Disables port discovery. Discovery is
disabled by default. To enable discovery, configure one or more protocols.
Specifies the port’s duplex configuration. Only full duplex is supported.

Starting in software version 5.2, half duplex support is removed from all
GigaVUE H Series nodes. If half duplex was configured in a previous software
version, it will remain intact following the upgrade to 5.2 or higher release.
Update to full duplex, if required. Forces connection on an optical port. Use
this option when an optical tool port is connected to a legacy optical tool
that does not transmit light. Available as follows: Optical 1Gb/10Gb tool
ports Not available for 10Gb-capable ports with a 1Gb SFP installed. 10Gb-
capable optical tool ports only support forcelinkup when a 10Gb SFP+ is
installed. Sets the port speed in Mbps if autonegotiation is off.
Open or close the relays for the ports used to tap the link in the TAP-
HC1-G10040 module. Once the relays are opened, verify that the green link LEDs
for both ports in the pair have illuminated.
Forcelinkup and Enabling/Disabling Ports
The GigaVUE-HC1 node includes both forcelinkup and admin arguments for the
port params command. The forcelinkup argument forces the link state on an
optical tool port connected to a legacy tool that does not transmit the light
required to bring the link up. The following table summarizes how traffic
flows for different combinations of port params admin and port params
forcelinkup applied to an optical tool port.
forcelinkup = disable
forcelinkup = enable
admin = enable
