Page 9 GigaVUE TA Series nodes allow you to aggregate traffic from multiple network links from 1Gb up to 100Gb. The GigaVUE TA Series can pre-filter traffic for monitoring or be integrated into the GigaVUE HC Series cluster for end-to-end Flow Mapping® and management.
Page 10 Optional patch panel or breakout panel allows use of 40Gb ports as four individual ■ 10Gb ports on all the GigaVUE TA Series nodes, or 100Gb ports as four individual 25Gb ports on GigaVUE-TA200, GigaVUE-TA200E, GigaVUE-TA25, GigaVUE-TA25E. All ports of same type and speed can be used to create GigaStream.
Page 11 Benefit Descriptions eight (8) 100Gb/40Gb ports enabled. 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 Deep Observability Pipeline.
Page 12 The c1 and c5 ports accept QSFP28/QSFP+ connections using 100G/40G SR and PLR4 transceivers. This button on the front panel next to Gigamon logo allows you to reset Reset Button GigaVUE-TA25 without having to unplug both PSU’s. Push and hold the button for 5 seconds to reset.
Page 13 GigaVUE-TA25 Hardware Installation Guide Chassis Cooling The fans on the GigaVUE-TA25 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 or critical temperature conditions.

Page 21 Position) in either a two-post or four-post rack. Two-Post Rack Methods: Most GigaVUE TA Series Traffic Aggregation nodes can either be front mounted or rear mounted using the rack ears as shown below. GigaVUE-TA200, GigaVUE-TA25 and GigaVUE-TA400 can only be front mounted.
Page 22 Figure 1 GigaVUE TA Series Traffic Aggregator Rack Ears in Front-Mount Position To mount the GigaVUE TA Series Traffic Aggregation node in a rack: Attach the orange rack ears to the front or rear of the unit (rear mounting does not apply to GigaVUE-TA200, GigaVUE-TA25 and GigaVUE-TA400) using the supplied screws.
Page 23 GigaVUE-TA25 Hardware Installation Guide Four-Post Rack Methods: GigaVUE TA Series Traffic Aggregation nodes also come with a pair of full length mounting rails. These rails can be used for four point mounting on four-post racks. The keyhole rivets on the sides of each node can be used to adjust the fit of the node to the desired position or dimension on the rack.

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 47 (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 48 Enter a new password that meets the standards and confirm the password. Setting Up Some Basic Accounts 1. The GigaVUE 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.
Page 49 Figure 16 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.
Page 50 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 : Even if you are using NTP/SNTP, It is a good idea to configure time manually as well.
Page 51 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...
