GigaVUE-TA25 Ports and Description
Port
Description
Management
Use the Mgmt port for remote configuration of the GigaVUE-TA25 Traffic Aggregator
over a 10/100/1000 Ethernet network.
Refer to installation guide for information on establishing an SSH configuration
session with the GigaVUE-TA25 Traffic Aggregator.
Console
Use the Console port for local configuration of the GigaVUE-TA25 Traffic Aggregator
over a serial connection. The serial settings are 8N1,115,200 bps.
Refer to installation guide for information on establishing a serial configuration
session with the GigaVUE-TA25 Traffic Aggregator in a terminal window.
USB
The USB port provides additional mechanism to upgrade software image on the GigaVUE-
TA25.
Ports x1...x48
The GigaVUE-TA25 provides 48 25Gb/10Gb/1Gb ports.
For details about the supported transceivers and cable type, refer to the
“GigaVUE
Interoperability Matrix”.
The 24-port GigaVUE-TA25 is called GigaVUE-TA25A. Refer to installation guide for
license information to expand the 24-port GigaVUE-TA25A to 48 ports, and to enable
eight (8) 100 Gb/40 Gb ports.
Ports c1...c8
GigaVUE-TA25 also includes 8 x 100Gb/40Gb ports (c1..c8).
In addition, you can also configure port modes that let either two (c1 and c5) of the
100Gb/40Gb ports operate as four logical 25Gb/10Gb ports .
Once a 100Gb/40Gb port has been configured to operate as four 25Gb/10Gb ports,
cable it to an optical patch panel or breakout panel, which takes a QSFP28/QSFP+
input from the GigaVUE-TA25 and splits it to four independent 25Gb/10Gb output
ports. The c1 and c5 ports accept QSFP28/QSFP+ connections using 100G/40G SR
and PLR4 transceivers.
Reset Button
This button on the front panel next to Gigamon logo allows you to reset GigaVUE-
TA25 without having to unplug both PSU’s. Push and hold the button for 5 seconds to
reset.
Transceivers
For details about the supported transceivers and cable type, refer to the GigaVUE-OS
Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix
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. Refer to
Temperature Thresholds and Actions
for the temperatures at which the warning and
critical traps are sent and any additional action that occurs at a threshold.
