The GigaVUE TA Series nodes make it easy to leverage the system’s 10Gb or 40Gb port density, aggregating multiple underused 40Gb/10Gb/1Gb network ports to 40Gb/10Gb tool ports for uplink to the Gigamon Visibility Platform.
Page 11 GigaVUE-TA200E Hardware Installation Guide The GigaVUE-TA200E provides sixty-four ports, supporting high-density aggregation depending on the transceivers QSFP+ or QSFP28. The ports run at speeds of either 40Gb or 100Gb. With QSFP28 SR4 transceivers, a 100Gb port can be broken out into four 25Gb ports, called 4x25G mode.

Console Use the console port for local configuration of the GigaVUE-TA200E Traffic Aggregator over a serial connection.
Page 13 “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”. Chassis Cooling The fans on the GigaVUE TA Series-TA200E run at 100% of their maximum speed on power up, then drop to approximately 40% 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 15%.

Page 15 GigaVUE-TA200E Hardware Installation Guide System LED The system LED on the front of the chassis (SYS) is as follows: Off indicates no power ■ Solid GREEN indicates normal operation ■ Port Status LEDs For each port, there are four (4) port status LEDs on the front of the chassis. At 40Gb and 100Gb speeds, only the first LED operates as follows: GREEN indicates the link is operationally UP with 100G/40G.
Page 16 ** SW BIOS version: If there is a component failure in the primary flash, the GigaVUE TA Series-TA200E 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.

Page 30 GigaVUE-TA200E Hardware Installation Guide Figure 4 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 Description Context-Sensitive The ? symbol is the key to receiving help wherever you...
Page 31 : Typing ? accesses the help system immediately – you do not need to press <Enter>. Partial Command For all GigaVUE TA Series commands and arguments, Entry you only need to enter enough characters to distinguish the command from all other available commands.
Page 32 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:...
Page 33 Configure bonded interface settings. boot Configure system boot parameters. card Configure a card. On TA Series nodes, use the card command to enable additional ports on GigaVUE TA Series nodes. chassis Configure the chassis. clear Reset statistics or clear caches.
Page 34 GigaVUE-TA25. logging Configure event logging. Configure maps and map rules to manage GigaVUE TA Series traffic distribution. map-passall Create a pass-all map to send all traffic on a network port to a tool port irrespective of the other packet distribution in place on the port.
Page 35 GigaVUE-TA200E Hardware Installation Guide Command Description port-pair Configure a port-pair on a pair of network ports within the same node. A port-pair is a bidirectional connection in which traffic arriving on one port in the pair is transmitted out the other (and vice-versa) as a passthrough TAP.
Page 36 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.
Page 37 (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.
Page 38 <roles> command. 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.
Page 39 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 Contents...
Page 40 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.
Page 41 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.
Page 42 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.

Now that the settings are (config) # email notify recipient configured, let the system cday@mycompany.com,mfelton@mycompany.co 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.
Page 44 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 reply- to address, and so on.
