Chassis Cooling
The fans on the GigaVUE-TA100 run at 100% of their maximum speed on power up, then drop to approximately 60% during normal operations. The temperatures of four components: transceivers, exhaust, CPU, and switch CPU, 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 and any additional action that occurs at a threshold.

Connecting a GigaVUE-TA100 to a cluster requires the Advanced Features License.

Dual BIOS Images
The GigaVUE TA Series-TA100 has a dual Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). The BIOS image is packaged with the software image, starting in software version 4.6.01. The BIOS contents are stored in flash memory, allowing the BIOS to be upgraded. There are two flash components, a primary and a secondary. The following CLI command displays the two flash components and indicates the BIOS image from which the system booted using asterisks:
(config) show version … 1st flash version: coreboot-ta100-1.0.0 Wed Aug 23 16:10:34 CST 2017 ** 2nd flash version: coreboot-ta100-1.0.0 Wed Aug 23 16:10:34 CST 2017 …
If there is a component failure in the primary flash, the GigaVUE TA Series- TA100 boots from a backup golden BIOS image in the secondary flash. An SNMP trap can be configured to be sent when the system has booted from the secondary flash. The trap may indicate that the primary flash component needs to be serviced. The trap is as follows:
2ndflashboot: Secondary flash boot notification
If a BIOS upgrade is needed for enhancements in future releases, the BIOS can be manually upgraded from the CLI using the coreboot install command.
Air Flow Direction

Use the hostname command to change the system’s hostname. Use the interface eth0 command to reconfigure or fine-tune Mgmt port settings,
including basic IP settings (DHCP or static address and subnet mask) and physical parameters (duplex, MTU, and speed). Use the ip command to change the default gateway, DNS server, and domain name. You can also use the username admin password command to change the admin user’s password. Refer to Changing the admin Account Password. Use the chassis box-id command to change the system’s box-id. Refer to Completing the Initial Setup for a quick summary of the available GigaVUE TA Series commands for TA Series nodes.
Port Licensing
Ports are available through licenses forGigaVUE-TA100 Contact your Sales representative for port licenses. Refer to Contacting Sales on page 107.
GigaVUE TA Series-TA100
On the GigaVUE TA Series-TA100, only the first 16 out of 32 100Gb ports are enabled. Two port licenses are available to enable an additional 8 or 16 ports to expand from 16 ports to 24 ports or from 16 ports to 24 ports and then to 32 ports.

Enabling Additional Ports
Contact your Sales Representative for information on obtaining a license key. Once you have obtained the license key for additional ports on GigaVUE TA Series-TA100 use the following command:
(config) # license install box-id key
where: box ID is the box ID of the GigaVUE TA Series node license key is the license key obtained for the purposes of enabling additional ports
Use the following procedure to enable ports before starting to issue commands in the CLI:
1. Connect to the console port as described in the previous section. 2. Wait at least two minutes after the system prompt appears for the system to be
initialized and then switch to Configure mode. The GigaVUE TA Series TA Series node provides three command entry modes, each with increasingly powerful rights ­ Standard, Enable, and Configure. The jumpstart script is only available in Configure mode:
a. Type en to switch to Enable mode. The system prompt changes from [hostname] > to [hostname] #.
b. Type config t to switch to Config mode. The system prompt changes from [hostname] # to [hostname] (config) #.
3. Reset the terminal settings to match the current window with the following command:
terminal resize
4. Use the port command with the admin argument to enable ports. For example, the following two commands enable all available ports on a fully licensed GigaVUE TA Series-TA100:
(config) # port 1/1/q1..q4 params admin enable(config) # port 1/1/x24..x48 params admin enable
5. Save your changes so that ports come up automatically at the next reboot:
write memory

Command-Line Basics
This section provides a quick orientation to the GigaVUE TA Series 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 system 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 16 GigaVUE-OS Command-Line Modes.
NOTE: If you are working simultaneously with multiple GigaVUE TA 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 command.

Figure 16 GigaVUE-OS Command-Line Modes
Entering Commands in the CLI
The GigaVUE TA Series CLI provides several conventions that make it easy to identify available commands and enter them quickly:

Technique
Context-Sensitive Help

Description
The ? symbol is the key to receiving help wherever you are in the CLI:
Type the ? by itself to see a list of all available commands.
Word Help ­ Type a partial word with a

Contents

42

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)

Technique
Partial Command Entry Command Completion

Description
? mark immediately following the partially-typed word to see a list of all possible commands using the word entered so far.
For example, if you typed i? in Configure mode, the CLI would return the following possible commands based on what you’ve entered so far:
image interface ip
Command Help ­ Type a command followed by a question mark to see all possible arguments for the command as entered. If the system returns , that means the command can be entered as-is.
For example, if you entered gigastream ?, you would see alias. You can build your way through the entire command tree by entering ? after each new argument. For example, after entering gigastream alias myalias ?, you would see the next valid argument ­ port-list.
NOTE: Typing ? accesses the help system immediately ­ you do not need to press

. For all GigaVUE TA Series commands and arguments, you only need to enter enough characters to distinguish the command from all other available commands. So, for example, you do not have to enter the full command username ­ there is only one command starting with the letter u, so you only have to enter u. If you have partially typed a command, you can press Tab and the CLI will attempt to complete the command for you based on what’s been entered so far. It is helpful to use the Command Completion feature together with partial command entry ­ you can press Tab while entering a command to see a list of all available commands matching what you’ve entered so far. For example, you can press p and the system will return: pass-all ping port port-pair Based on this information, you know that you only need to enter the letter pa to uniquely identify what you’ve entered as pass-all.

Contents

43

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)
Command-Line Syntax ­ Entering Commands
You enter configuration commands for the GigaVUE TA Series node in the command-line interface by typing enough characters to uniquely identify the command and pressing . When entering commands, keep in mind the following rules:
Successful commands return no response in the CLI; commands with errors return an error response beginning with %, followed by a short error description.
All commands are case-sensitive and entered in lower case. Port numbers are entered in // format. For the GigaVUE
TA Series nodes, the chassis ID and slot number are always 1. Strings must consist entirely of alphanumeric characters with no spaces. The only
exceptions are the underscore (_), hyphen (-), exclamation point (!), “at” symbol (@), and period (.) characters. Those are allowed.
For example, in Config mode, port 1/1/q12 alias My_Alias is legal, but port 1/1/q12 alias My Alias is not.
NOTE: Some string fields do accept spaces provided the input is made inside quotation marks
Config Mode Syntax
When using the GigaVUE TA Series CLI, the “config” part of the command is implied whenever you are working in Configure mode. The system prompt helps you remember this by including the word (config) in parentheses. For example:
(config) #
So, instead of entering config map to connect a network port to a tool port, you just enter map followed by the necessary arguments. The config part is implied because you are already working in the Configure command mode. For example:
(config) # map alias myTA40map from 1/1/q1 to 1/1/q5
Paging through CLI Output
By default, the GigaVUE TA Series CLI returns output exceeding the configured terminal length in pages. The CLI provides the same features for working through the paged output as the Linux programs less and more. Press the h key to see paging options ­ Figure 17 Viewing Paging Options provides an example. If you prefer, you can disable paging either for the current session or by default:
Disable for Current Session
(config) # no cli session paging enable
Disable for All Sessions (Default)
(config) # no cli default paging enable

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)

There are a few more steps you should perform to complete the initial configuration before you set up network ports, tool ports, and aggregate traffic. These tasks include:
Switch to the Configure mode. Refer to Enter the Configure Command-Line Mode. Configure SSH access to the node. Refer to SSH2. Configure some basic user accounts. Refer to Initial User Account Configuration. Configure the node name. Refer to Configuring the GigaVUE TA Series Host Name. Configure time and date options for the node. Refer to Configuring GigaVUE TA
Series Node’s Time Options. Enable the Web server for Web-based GUI access. Refer to Enabling the Web Server. Save your changes! Refer to Saving Changes.

Enter the Configure Command-Line Mode
Keep in mind that the GigaVUE-OS have three different command modes for the CLI ­ Standard, Enable, and Configure. The commands described in the sections below are all only available in Configure mode. Switch to configure mode as follows:

Command > enable

configure terminal (config)

Notes
You only need to supply enough of each command to positively identify it among the other available commands. So, in this example, you could just type ena and press Enter.
Similarly, this command can be entered as con t.
Notice how the system prompt changes with each command mode. Command modes offer greater control over the box as you ascend from Standard to Enable to Configure.

SSH2
SSH2 is available for remote connections to the GigaVUE TA Series Traffic Aggregator’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 table below. For example:

Contents

48

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)

Command
Enable: (config) # ssh server enable Disable: (config) # no ssh server enable

Notes
When SSH2 is enabled, you can use any compliant SSH2 client to connect to the command-line interface remotely. For example, to connect using the SSH2 client, PuTTY:
a. Start PuTTY and enter the GigaVUE TA Series Traffic Aggregator’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 TA 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 TA 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’re connecting to is the server you think it is. The GigaVUE TA Series nodes also include default RSA v1/v2 and DSAv2-encrypted public host keys (SSH2 supports both RSA and DSA encryption algorithms). The first time you connect to the GigaVUE TA Series node 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 node. Your client will most likely give you the option of trusting the key, adding it to your local cache. Once you’ve trusted the key, your client will alert you during connection if a different key is presented.
IMPORTANT: Telnet server functionality is no longer supported as of GigaVUE-OS 5.7.00.
Verifying Host Keys During Connection To verify that the host key presented during an SSH2 connection is in fact the GigaVUE TA Series node’s, you can connect over the console port (refer to Access the CommandLine Interface over the console Port) and use the show ssh server host-keys command to see the current public host keys and fingerprints for the GigaVUE TA Series node. Paste these in a file and keep them nearby when you connect via SSH2 the first time. This way, you’ll be able to compare the actual host key to what your SSH2 client says is being presented. Once you’ve verified that they are the same, you can choose to trust the host key, allowing future connections to take place seamlessly.
Changing Host Keys
You can use the ssh server host-key generate command to change the default host keys provided with the GigaVUE TA Series node. The command has the following syntax:
ssh server host-key <rsa1 | rsa2 |dsa2> <private-key | public-key> generate

Contents

49

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)
For example, to configure a new RSAv1 public hostkey, you could use the following command:
(config) # ssh server host-key rsa1 public-key generate
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
1. 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 8-30 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. The TA 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.
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 roles add command.
o Monitor users have access to the Standard and Enable command modes. They cannot configure packet distribution (or any other global GigaVUE TA Series node options), but they can use the show command to review many of the settings in place on the node.
The following username commands create a new admin user and a new operator user:

Contents

50

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)

Command

Comments

(config) # username psandoval password Nine9.Eight8!
(config) # username psandoval roles add admin
(config) # username bcrawford password Seven7.Six6!

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 command to review your settings. Figure 18 Reviewing the User List shows some sample show usernames output after several users have been added.

Figure 18 Reviewing the User List
Configuring the GigaVUE TA Series Host Name
It is generally a good idea to configure the GigaVUE TA Series node’s name, date, and time as part of your initial configuration. The following command shows how to set the system name. Refer to Configuring GigaVUE TA Series Node’s Time Options for information on setting options related to time and date.
Setting the System Name
1. Use the hostname command to specify the system name. For example:
(config) # hostname GigaVUE TA Series-Customer
Configuring GigaVUE TA Series Node’s Time Options
The GigaVUE TA Series nodes include a variety of features for setting the time, including:

Contents

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)

Method
System Clock One-Time NTP Synchronization Persistent NTP Synchronization

CLI Command

For more information:

clock set hh:mm:ss yyyy/mm/dd Setting Time Manually

ntpdate

Performing One-Time NTP Server Synchronization

Add server using ntp server command.

Using NTP Time Server for System Clock Synchronization

Enable use of ntp with ntp enable command.

Setting Time Manually
The easiest way to set the GigaVUE TA Series node’s time is manually with the clock set command. For example:
(config) # clock set 05:18:38 2011/05/24
NOTE: Even if you are using NTP/SNTP, It is a good idea to configure time manually as well. The GigaVUE TA 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 will show the current state of the NTP server in use; the show clock command shows the current GigaVUE TA 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 that 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 System Clock Synchronization
The GigaVUE TA Series nodes can optionally use one or more NTP servers for its time setting. Use the following procedure to add an NTP server to the GigaVUE TA 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:
(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 TA Series node connects to the specified NTP server and synchronizes to its time.

Contents

52

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)
4. NTP reports times in UTC. Because of this, It is a good idea to specify the GigaVUE TA Series node’s timezone so that UTC can be converted to the local timezone. You specify the timezone in terms of the offset from UTC (either plus or minus). For example, to set the timezone for a GigaVUE TA Series node in the United States for Pacific Standard Timezone, you would use the following command:
(config) # clock timezone America North United_States Pacific
Once you’ve finished configuring NTP options, use the show ntp command to check the status of clock synchronization (Figure 19 Checking NTP Status and Configuration).
Figure 19 Checking NTP Status and Configuration
Enabling the Web Server
GigaVUE-FM is Gigamon’s Web-based management interface for the GigaVUE-OS, including the GigaVUE TA Series nodes. You can use GigaVUE-FM for many system configuration, management, and operations tasks. To use GigaVUE-FM with a GigaVUE TA 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 Web-based management console enabled: is set to yes, indicating that the Web server is enabled. For example:

Configuring Internet Explorer for Use with GigaVUE-FM GigaVUE-FM works best in Internet Explorer when the browser is configured to check for newer versions of stored pages every time pages are visited. Enable this option as follows:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Select the Tools > Internet Options command.
3. In the General tab, locate the Browsing history section and click its Settings button.
4. Set the Check for newer version of stored pages: option to Every time I visit the webpage.
5. Click OK on the Temporary Internet Files and History Settings dialog.
6. Click OK on the Internet Options dialog.
Configuring Automatic Email Notifications
The GigaVUE TA Series nodes provide powerful email notification capabilities, automatically sending emails to specified addresses when any of a wide variety of events take place on the system. Gigamon strongly recommends that you configure this feature so you have immediate visibility of events affecting system health.

Contents

54

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)

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, the email server named smtp.emailsrvr.com is used. IP address can be used 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, alerts@mycompany.com is shown with a password of mypassword123.

(config) # email auth username alerts@mycompany.com
(config) # email auth password mypassword123

Once account is setup turn on email authentication.

(config) # email auth enable

Now that the settings are configured, let the system 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. Multiple destinations can be specified by separating by commas with no spaces.

(config) # email notify recipient cday@mycompany.com,mfelton@mycompany.co m

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

(config) # email notify event all

Contents

55

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)

Description

Command

events, or, use the all argument to enable them all.

It is a good idea to check your settings and make sure emails are sent successfully. You can do that with the email sendtest 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 TA Series 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.

That’s it! 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 TA Series should appear, the port for the email server, the replyto address, and so on.

Using a Custom Banner
The GigaVUE TA Series nodes can display a customizable text banner at system startup before a user logs in. This way, users connecting to the system see the banner before they log in, giving them an idea of which system they are logging in to. The banner also

Contents

56

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)
appears after a user logs outs. Use the banner login “” command to configure the login banner. For example:
(config) # banner login “Pacific Call Center”
NOTE: You only need to use quotation marks for the if it includes spaces.
The next time you log in or out of the GigaVUE TA Series node, you will see the customizable banner.
Saving Changes
It is a good idea to get into the habit of using the write memory command to save changes as you make them. Later on, when you start setting up packet distribution, your changes will added to the active configuration right away but would not be saved across a system reboot unless you use the write memory command to save your changes to flash.
NOTE: The name of the factory-provided configuration file is initial. You can refer to the name of the most recently booted configuration file by using the show running-configuration command (or show configuration) and look for the Running database entry.
Connecting Ports on GigaVUE TA Series
This chapter provides information on the transceivers supported for use with the GigaVUE TA Series.
Refer to the following sections for details:
Transceiver–Rules and Notes
Keep in mind the following rules and notes when you connect and use GigaVUE TA Series 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 TA Series nodes. Check the value of the SFP type field for the ports in question.

Contents

57

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)
Following are the nomenclatures for the GigaVUE TA Series node port numbers: o Port numbers starting with a c (for example, c1) are 100Gb. They can also support 40Gb depending on the transceiver installed. o Port numbers starting with a q (for example, q1) are 40Gb. o Port numbers starting with an x (for example, x10) are 10Gb or 1Gb or 25Gb depending on the transceiver installed. They can also support 25 Gb on select platforms.
NOTE: The 40Gb QSFP+ SR Full Duplex (RX/TX) transceiver is not supported in conjunction with a TAP.
NOTE: The 40Gb QSFP+ SR BiDi Full Duplex (RX/TX) transceiver is not supported in conjunction with a BiDi TAP. Refer to BiDi Optics Considerations to know more.
For details about the supported transceivers, cable types, and connectivity specifications, refer to”GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”.
BiDi Optics Considerations
There are several nuances to consider due to the complexity in 40Gb BiDi technology. Because of the nature of 40Gb BiDi technology, the same BiDi optic (Full Duplex or RXonly) cannot be used in all of the following situations. For example:
On SPAN sessions, RX-only BiDi optics cannot be used. Full Duplex BiDi optics must be used.
When receiving traffic from network links, RX-only BiDi optics must be used due to the way traffic is multiplexed over the fiber pair in 40Gb BiDi technology.
When deploying over inline 40Gb BiDi links, Full Duplex BiDi optics must be used. When connecting two GigaVUE TA Series nodes through a cascade connection, Full
Duplex BiDi optics must be used for the tool port. The network port may be either Full Duplex or RX-only BiDi optics. When stacking multiple GigaVUE TA Series nodes, 40Gb BiDi optics must not be used on stack links because the 40Gb BiDi technology is not compatible with the Gigamon stack protocol.
