Gigamon Inline Tool Group (N+1) Redundancy

Example 5 is an inline bypass solution on GigaVUE-HC2 for an inline tool group with N+1 redundancy. In this example, N=2. The inline network is unprotected. Example 5 expands upon Example 3 by adding a spare to the inline tool group.

Step

Description

Command

1. Configure inline network aliases, port type (inline-network), and administratively enable inline network ports.

(config) # port 3/1/x1 alias iN1
(config) # port iN1 type inline-network
(config) # port iN1 params admin enable

(config) # port 3/1/x2 alias iN2
(config) # port iN2 type inline-network
(config) # port iN2 params admin enable

2. Configure inline network.

(config) # inline-network alias inNet pair net-a iN1 and net-b iN2

3. Configure inline tool ports, port type (inline-tool), and administratively enable inline tool ports.

(config) # port 3/1/x3 alias iT1
(config) # port iT1 type inline-tool
(config) # port iT1 params admin enable

(config) # port 3/1/x4 alias iT2
(config) # port iT2 type inline-tool
(config) # port iT2 params admin enable

(config) # port 3/1/x5 alias iT3
(config) # port iT3 type inline-tool
(config) # port iT3 params admin enable

(config) # port 3/1/x6 alias iT4
(config) # port iT4 type inline-tool
(config) # port iT4 params admin enable

(config) # port 3/1/x7 alias iT5
(config) # port iT5 type inline-tool
(config) # port iT5 params admin enable

(config) # port 3/1/x8 alias iT6
(config) # port iT6 type inline-tool
(config) # port iT6 params admin enable

4. Configure inline tools and enable them.

(config) # inline-tool alias inTool1 pair tool-a iT1 and tool-b iT2
(config) # inline-tool alias inTool2 pair tool-a iT3 and tool-b iT4
(config) # inline-tool alias inTool3 pair tool-a iT5 and tool-b iT6

(config) # inline-tool alias inTool1 enable
(config) # inline-tool alias inTool2 enable
(config) # inline-tool alias inTool3 enable

5. Configure inline tool group and parameters. Enable it and then configure failover action.

(config) # inline-tool-group alias inToolGroup
(config inline-tool-group alias inToolGroup) # tool-list inTool1,inTool2
(config inline-tool-group alias inToolGroup) # spare-inline-tool inTool3
(config inline-tool-group alias inToolGroup) # release-spare-if-possible
(config inline-tool-group alias inToolGroup) # hash advanced
(config inline-tool-group alias inToolGroup) # minimum-group-healthy-size 2
(config inline-tool-group alias inToolGroup) # enable
(config inline-tool-group alias inToolGroup) # failover-action tool-bypass
(config inline-tool-group alias inToolGroup) # exit
(config) #

6. Configure map passall, from inline network to inline tool group.

(config) # map-passall alias inMap
(config map-passall alias inMap) # from inNet
(config map-passall alias inMap) # to inToolGroup
(config map-passall alias inMap) # exit
(config) #

7. Configure the path of the traffic to inline tool.

(config) # inline-network alias inNet traffic-path to-inline-tool

8. Display the configuration for this example.

(config) # show inline-tool-group
