GigaVUE TA Series Features and Benefits
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.
The GigaVUE HSeries and TASeries products share the same GigaVUE-OS software and
are managed by GigaVUE-FM Fabric Manager for simplified operations. Traffic from any
of these ports can be processed by GigaSMART traffic intelligence functions in GigaVUE
HC Series devices to further optimize the traffic before it is sent to the tools.
GigaVUE TA Series nodes offer the following features and benefits:
■High-density visibility for 1Gb, 10Gb, 25Gb, 40Gb,100Gb and 400Gb.
■Low profile 2RU for GigaVUE-TA200 and GigaVUE-TA200E design offers easy
deployment at the top of rack or end of row in data centers.
■Depending on the model, the GigaVUE TA Series supports a wide variety of
Gigamon® transceivers. Transceivers purchased from other vendors are not
supported.

GigaVUE-TA200E Hardware Installation Guide

■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 or
400Gb ports as four individual 100Gb ports on GigaVUE-TA400.
■All ports of same type and speed can be used to create GigaStream.
■Front to back cooling.
■Fan modules.
■AC or DC power supply. Included with each node is the redundant second power
supply.
Standard HSeries Features
In addition to the features described above, the GigaVUE TA Series offers many standard
features from the GigaVUE HC Series nodes:
Benefit Descriptions
Remote
Management
Configure the GigaVUE TA Series Traffic Aggregator’s operations
from a command-line interface:
●Local access over the serial console port.
●Remote network access using SSH2 over the 1000 Ethernet
Mgmt port.
●Secure access to the CLI, either through local authentication or
optional RADIUS/TACACS+/LDAP support.
●Powerful and flexible logging, including event notification via
syslog, email, and SNMP traps.
Aggregate Links Send the data from multiple different network ports to a tool port
or GigaStream, allowing you to combine traffic from multiple
access points into a single stream for uplink to the Gigamon
Visibility Platform.
CLIManagement The GigaVUE TA Series nodes feature a common CLI with other
GigaVUE HC Series nodes.
Command
Abbreviation
Type only as many letters of a command as are needed to
positively differentiate from other available commands. For
example, you only need to type con t to enter Config mode, not
the full configure terminal command.
SNMP Support Rely on secure SNMP v3 access to the onboard SNMP agent as
well as v1/v2 SNMP traps.
Email Notifications Use email alerts for proactive notification of a wide variety of
GigaVUE TA Series node events, helping you keep tabs on system
status in real time.
Scalable Port Density The GigaVUE-TA100 can have either sixteen (16), twenty-four (24),
or thirty-two (32) 100Gb ports enabled. Licenses are available for
the additional two sets of 8 ports.
The GigaVUE-TA200 can have either thirty-two (32) or sixty-four
(64) 100Gb ports enabled. A license is available for the additional
32 ports.
The GigaVUE-TA200E can have either thirty-two (32) or sixty-four

Benefit Descriptions
(64) 40G/100G ports. A license is available for the additional 32
ports.
The GigaVUE-TA25 has forty-eight (48) 25Gb/10Gb/1Gb ports and
eight (8) 100Gb/40Gb ports enabled.
A 24-port GigaVUE-TA25 called the GigaVUE-TA25A is also
available. License is required to upgrade the GigaVUE-TA25A to
include all 48 25Gb/10Gb/1Gb ports as well as the eight (8)
100Gb/40Gb ports .
The GigaVUE-TA25E has forty-eight (48) 25Gb/10Gb/1Gb ports and
eight (8) 100Gb/40Gb ports enabled.
The GigaVUE-TA400 has 32 400Gb/100Gb/ 40Gb QSFP-DD/
QSFP28/QSFP+ ports and 7 rear hot swappable fan modules,
console port and a 10M/100M/1G management port.
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.
Clustering The GigaVUE-TA100, GigaVUE-TA200, GigaVUE-TA200E nodes,
GigaVUE-TA25 , GigaVUE-TA25E and GigaVUE-TA400 can cluster
with other GigaVUE HC Series nodes.
The GigaVUE-TA400 can cluster with all GigaVUE HC Series nodes
and GigaVUE TA series nodes only with E-tag mode.
This allows you to take advantage of the benefits of features such
as GigaSMART.
Ingress VLAN
Tagging
VLAN Tags can be added to the ingress packets on a per-port
basis. This can help identify, differentiate or track incoming
sources of traffic.
GigaVUE-FM
(Centralized
Management
System)
Use the centralized GigaVUE TA Series Fabric Management
System to review, configure, and update GigaVUE TA Series just
like other GigaVUE HC Series.
Introducing the GigaVUE-TA200E Chassis
This section describes the physical layout of the GigaVUE-TA200E chassis, including a
description of all ports and connectors. The GigaVUE-TA200E chassis consists of a 2RU,
rack-mountable, 19”-wide chassis with management, network, and tool ports at the front
and power connections and fans at the rear. Figure 1The GigaVUE-TA200E Chassis Front
View shows the ports at the front of the GigaVUE-TA200E chassis.
Refer to Table 1: GigaVUE-TA200E Ports for a description of each of the ports. Figure 2The
GigaVUE-TA200E Chassis Rear View shows the fan modules and power supply units at
the rear of the GigaVUE-TA200E chassis. Refer to Chassis Cooling for information on fans
and temperature monitoring.
