command with the usb download parameter.
Chassis Cooling
The fans on the GigaVUE-HC1 run at 100% of their maximum speed on power up, then drop
to approximately 65% during normal operations. The fans are deployed in 2+1 redundancy
mode, meaning that a single fan can fail and immediately the third fan can help the chassis
maintain the appropriate cooling temperature at 40ºC ambient.They are also hot-
swappable.Refer to Module Removal and Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal) for more
information on hot-swapping the module.
The temperatures of five components: intake, exhaust, CPU, switch CPU, and GigaSMART
CPU temperatures, 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, alert, or critical
temperature conditions. Refer to Table 2: Component Temperature Thresholds and Actions
for the temperatures at which the warning, alert, and critical traps are sent.

Figure 4 TAP-HC0-G10040 Module
Using the TAP-HC1-G10040 Module for Copper Bypass
The network ports on the TAP-HC1-G10040 module can be configured through software to
be inline network ports. This allows the TAP-HC1-G10040 module to act as a copper bypass
module, providing protected inline networks for copper ports.
To use the copper bypass functionality, the GigaVUE-HC1 must be running GigaVUE-OS
version 4.8 or higher. For configuration information, refer to the chapter “Configuring Inline
Bypass Solution on GigaVUE H Series TAP Modules” in the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide.
Using TAP-HC1-G10040 Module for Gigamon Resiliency for Inline Protection
Gigamon Resiliency for Inline Protection (GRIP)™ is an inline bypass solution that connects
two GigaVUE-HC1 nodes together so that one node provides high availability to the other
node when there is a loss of power. This redundant arrangement of two GigaVUE-HC1 nodes
maintains traffic monitoring by inline tools when one of the nodes is down.
GRIP™ makes use of the bypass protection switch relays for protected inline networks on
GigaVUE-HC1 nodes. The TAP-HC1-G10040 module can provide physical protection for
protected pairs of copper inline network ports required by the GRIP solution.
For solution and configuration information, refer to the chapter “Configuring Inline Bypass
Solutions” in the GigaVUE-OS CLI Reference Guide.
BPS-HC1-D25A24 Bypass Combo Module
There is one 10Gb bypass combo module as follows:
Introducing the GigaVUE-HC1
GigaVUE-HC1 Modules 16
GigaVUE-HC1 Hardware Installation Guide

■Bypass Combo Module with two SX/SR (50/125μm multimode) inline network port pairs
and four regular SFP+ and SFP+ copper port cages (BPS-HC1-D25A24) (Figure 5Bypass
Combo Module BPS-HC1-D25A24)
Before installing the BPS-HC1-D25A24 Bypass Combo Module, the GigaVUE-HC1 must be
running software version 5.0 or higher.
For internal transceiver and loss summary specifications, refer to Bypass Combo Module
Specifications.
Bypass Combo Modules
Security tools such as firewall and intrusion detection/protection systems are often
connected inline on production networks, with traffic flowing from the network segment
through the tool and then back onto the production network.
The GigaVUE-HC1 offers physical and logical inline bypass. Physical bypass provides
automatic failover protection in the case of a power failure. The bypass combo modules
provide the physical bypass function. As it applies to a single pair of inline network ports, the
physical bypass function is as follows:
■When the module is not powered, (either the entire node is powered down or the
module is removed from the node), the inline network port pair is in the physical
bypass mode. That means that traffic is exchanged directly between network Port A
and network Port B of the inline network pair.
■When the module is powered, the mode (inline or bypass) of the inline network port
pair is controlled through software. In the physical bypass mode, the inline network
port pair behaves exactly as if the module was not powered. In the inline mode, the
inline network port pair behaves as any other inline network port pair configured for
working with an inline tool.
Features of the 10Gb Bypass Combo Module
The 10Gb bypass combo module has the following features:
■Two inline network port pairs that pass traffic bi-directionally.
■Port pairs that offer optical protection switch for physical bypass.
■Four regular SFP ports that can operate at 1Gb, and SFP+ and SFP+ Copper ports that
can operate at 10Gb. These ports can be configured as any port type.
■A mode to select either bypass or inline.
■A module that is hot swappable. Refer to procedures in Module Removal and
Replacement Procedure (Hot Removal).

■RDY is the Ready LED. It has the following states:
oRED indicates system booting or module down
oGREEN indicates normal condition
■POWER is the Power LED. It has the following state:
oGREEN indicates the module is receiving power
Port Status LEDs
The SFP+ Port Status LEDs have the following states:
■Off indicates that the port is disabled or the link is down
■GREEN indicates that the link is established
Ports
You can configure any two of the four 10Gb ports as an inline tool port pair and connect an
inline tool to them.
For tool ports, you can also use ports on any module in the chassis, including ports on other
bypass combo modules or ports on other GigaVUE-HC1 modules.
Ports have the following labels: X1 to X4. In the CLI, these ports are referred to as: x1 to x4.
Inline Network Ports
Connect inline networks to the inline network ports. The inline network ports have built-in
protection for power down.
The inline network status LEDs have the following labels:
■A1—Inline network LED A (for network 1 through network 2)
■B1—Inline network LED B (for network 1 through network 2)
■M1—Mode LED (on is inline and off is bypass)
