Page 12: Configuring The Ethernet Management Port
After the configuration is complete, the system is accessible through the network via SSH and X2-Manager (web-based interface) at https://assigned_IP. X2-3200G can also be directly connected to a computer through its Ethernet management port. In this case, manual IP policy must be applied to both the unit and the computer. -
Page 13: Configuration
CONFIGURATION 1. WEB ADMINISTRATION X2-3200G can be administered either in CLI mode or in a graphical web-based interface called X2-Manager, which is OS and platform independent. Grouped by functionality, six menu tabs are displayed on the left side of the interface: ◉... -
Page 14: Port Management
Note: This menu is the only one available when logged out. ▶ 1.2 Port Management Port Management page is a graphical representation of the system, providing detailed status information and allowing an easy configuration for each interface (port), as well as a more detailed view of the attached SFP modules. Besides the visual overview, the port information is also provided in a list view. -
Page 15: Statistics
The list of ports can be filtered via the filter button to display only the ports matching the selected filter(s): port status, link status, speed, autonegotiation status. 1.3 Statistics Statistics page displays specific statistics counters either globally, or filtered by the interfaces selected. -
Page 16: Traffic Management
1.4 Traffic Management Traffic Management page allows the users logged in as administrators to create custom traffic aggregation, duplication and filtering rules, as well as enable load balancing for multiple interfaces, tailoring the way data flows on each port of the unit. These custom settings can be grouped into Rule Sets and, depending on the requirements, a certain Rule Set can be selected as active from the list of existing Rule Sets. - Page 17 Very Important: Only data matching at least one of the defined rules will pass through, everything else will get dropped. The first step in creating or editing a rule is defining the inbound and outbound interfaces. Interfaces tab allows defining the rule behavior (aggregation, replication), and using the link aggregation groups in order to set the load-balance of the outbound traffic.
- Page 18 FILTER DESCRIPTION Only frames matching MAC details configured in this Ethernet Layer section will be allowed to pass through (Source/ Destination MAC Address, Source/ Destination MAC Mask), with the possibility to select the packet type (IPv4, IPv6, ARP or ‘any’). IPv4/ IPv6 Layer When IPv4/ IPv6 is selected, the board will filter for any packet of those types.
- Page 19 Note: If multiple filter fields are configured, only those packets matching ▶ all filters will be allowed to pass through. In the Advanced tab allows the configuration of some other options that can be applied on the traffic in outbound: ACTION TYPE DESCRIPTION the packet matching the specified filter can be dropped...
- Page 20 TRAFFIC DEDUPLICATION (LICENSE REQUIRED) X2-Series NPBs are capable of performing traffic deduplication. This feature is useful when the same packets are captured from different tapping points and aggregated in the packet broker. This feature can be controlled via the “Configure Deduplication” option in the Traffic management view.
- Page 21 INGRESS RULE: On the X2-SERIES, users can define specific traffic manipulation rules to be performed on the interface INGRESS pipeline. Note that these operations will be performed before the filter and action engine described above. Users should ensure that the configured ingress rules don’t impact the functionality of the other rules.Each Rule Set can include an independent set of ingress rules associated to each port.

1.5 User Settings Users tab allows the users logged in as administrators to add new users or edit existing ones and their privilege levels. Depending on the selected role, the user has the following rights: ◉ administrator - full control, limitless administration and system update ◉... - Page 23 ◉ Server hostname ◉ Port ◉ Secret key ◉ Timeout (waiting time for response from the Radius server, can be set between one and 15 seconds) ◉ Privilege level mappings (allows adding one or more rules for users. These rules are integer or string type attributes, requiring a name and a value. During authentication, the system checks if a user matches the rules.

Page 24: Administration
Firmware tab allows installing a new firmware on the board. The latest firmware version is available publicly at https://x2series.profitap.com/img/. If the device is able to access this location, it will also be possible to automatically download the latest available firmware and update the device. The License information section displays the information related to the board license. - Page 25 Logs tab displays the system or application logs stored locally in the device. The system logs includes all logs coming from the OS components, while the application logs allow the user to view only the management plane ones. The Logs tab can also be used to configure remote collectors for the device logs.

Page 27: Configuration
2.1 Configuration The Configuration menu is used for the administration of all the interfaces (ports) in the system. The user first needs to select an interface (from 01 to 32) before administering it, e.g.: .configuration.> interface.05 .configuration.interface.05.> After this selection is made, there are 5 sub-menus that can be accessed: enable [on/off] Enables or disables the selected interface. -
Page 28: Statistics
2.2 Statistics Statistics menu is used for displaying or resetting network traffic related statistics. There are 2 sub-menus that can be accessed from here: global [show/ reset] show: Displays information about the system temperature, PSU and FAN functionality. The only possible command under this submenu is show. -
