recommend using this mode for network traffic mirroring from the switch ports to PC (tracing) only.
Update Switch and Commit buttons allow to retain access to the gateway when switch settings are applied.
Click the Commit button in 30 seconds interval to confirm newly applied settings, or the previous settings will be
restored.
– Update Switch–apply switch settings without restart;
– Commit–confirm applied settings.
Use the Defaults button to set default parameters (the figure below shows default values).
5.1.3.1.2 Tracing, Network Traffic Mirroring
To perform tracing, you should do the following:
1. Configure hub mode–in 'Switch' tab, select 'Hubmode' checkbox, then click 'Update Switch' and 'Commit'
buttons consequently.
2. Connect a PC to perform the tracing directly to TAU Ethernet port.
3. Run the application on the PC that captures network traffic. In the application, select Ethernet interface
connected to TAU-72.IP/TAU-36.IP as a traffic capture interface.
4. After tracing, save captured traffic into a file.
5.1.3.2 The '802.1q' submenu
In '802.1q' submenu, you may define the configuration of packet routing rules for switch operation in 802.1q
mode.
Gateway switch is equipped with 2 electrical Ethernet ports, 1 optic port and 1 port for CPU interactions:
– Port0, port1, port2–electrical Ethernet ports of the device;
– CPU–internal port linked to the device CPU;
– SFP0, SFP1–optical (SFP) Ethernet ports of TAU-72.IP/TAU-36.IP v1,
v2 (v3, v4).
Adding records to the packet routing table (16 rules max.): in 'VID' field, enter an identifier of VLAN group,
that the routing rule is created for, and assign actions for each port to be performed during transfer of packets with
specified VID.
• unmodified–packets will be sent by the port without any changes (i.e. as they have been received);
• untagged–packets will always be sent without VLAN tag by this port;
