GigaVUE-TA100 Chassis
This section describes the physical layout of the GigaVUE-TA100 chassis,
including a description of all ports and connectors. The GigaVUE-TA100 chassis
consists of a 1RU, rack-mountable, 19″-wide chassis with management, network,
and tool ports at the front and power connections and fans at the rear. Figure
1The GigaVUE-TA100 Chassis Front View shows the ports at the front of the
GigaVUE-TA100 chassis. Refer to Table 1: GigaVUE-TA100 Ports for a description
of each of the ports. Figure 2The GigaVUE-TA100 Chassis Rear View shows the
fan modules and power supply units at the rear of the GigaVUE-TA100chassis.
Refer to Chassis Cooling for information on fans and temperature monitoring.
The GigaVUE-TA100 provides thirty-two ports, supporting high-density
aggregation. Depending on the transceiver, QSFP+ or QSFP28, the ports run at
speeds of either 40Gb or 100Gb. With QSFP+ transceivers, a 40Gb port can be
broken out into four 10Gb ports, called 4x10G mode. The 100Gb/40Gb ports on
GigaVUE-TA100 can be used as network, tool, hybrid, or stacklink ports. The
GigaVUE-TA100 node in standalone mode must be running software version 4.6.01
or higher. The GigaVUE-TA100 node in a cluster environment must be running
software version 4.8 or higher.

Use the Mgmt port for remote configuration of the GigaVUETA100Traffic
Aggregator over a 10/100/1000 Ethernet network.
Use the console port for local configuration of the GigaVUE-TA100 Traffic
Aggregator over a serial connection.
GigaVUE-TA100 includes 32 100Gb ports (c1..c32). These ports also support 40Gb
speeds.
Any of the 100Gb ports on the GigaVUE-TA100 can operate at 40Gb with a QSFP+
transceiver. With a QSFP+ transceiver, a port can be broken out into 4 10Gb
ports, called subports. The subports will all have the same speed (10Gb).
Subports will have x1 to x4 appended to their port ID, for example, 1/1/c2x1.
For details, refer to Configure the Port Mode.
Once a 40Gb port has been configured to operate as four 10Gb ports, cable it
to an optical patch panel or breakout panel, such as PNL-M341, which takes a
40Gb QSFP+ input from the GigaVUE-TA100and splits it to four independent 10Gb
output ports. Refer to Breakout Panels.
The ports accept 40Gb QSFP+ connections using QSFP+ SR or PLR4 transceivers.
The ports accept 40Gb BiDi transceivers (RX-only or full duplex). RXonly BiDi
only supports RX on network ports. Full Duplex (RX/TX)

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.

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
The air flow direction is from the front of the GigaVUE TA Series-TA100
chassis to the rear. The rear-mounted fans pull air from the front to the back
of the chassis. Install the chassis so the intake air at the front of the
chassis is cold.

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

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

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
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

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
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
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

and have explored the command-line interface.
Contents
47
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
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

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:

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, [email protected] is shown with a password of mypassword123.
(config) # email auth username [email protected]
(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 [email protected],[email protected] 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 “
(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 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.

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.

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.
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 TA Series node. IMPORTANT: Always use an ESD-preventive wrist or ankle
strap and ensure that it makes good skin contact when installing or removing
transceivers.

GigaVUE-TA100 Hardware Installation Guide (EOS)
Installing Transceivers
1. Remove the dust cap from the port if present. 2. Orient the transceiver
with the opening 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.
