Summit X460-G2 and PurView it is possible ?

How integrate Summit X460-G2 with PurView ?

Alexandr,

I suspected that this would spark some additional questions.. 🙂

Anyway, yes the purview engine will collect the flows and there is nothing else you need to do. To check to make sure you are seeing the flows, on the management interface - example: tcpdump -i udp port 2075 - You should see flows from the switch.

As to the mirror, for testing I suggest directly collecting the mirror to the appliance. We dont support the GRE tunnel method at this time on XOS but we do support R-SPAN. I will post the R-SPAN configuration in a later post here.

Hi, Bill!

First of all - great thanks!!!
It's very usefull information.

But have some questions:
1. We don't adding any device to Puview? Purview just listen port 2075?
2. Is Summit have to be directly connected to the Purview (with mirror-to port) or we can configure Purview with 3 deployment mode (Interface tunnel mirrored)?

I had heard there was a trial case running on a very small network in California. It is my understanding that the sampling is whats missing from the 460. The 460 can send the packets to the appliance but does not yet have the ability to only send the first 15 like the SSA does. So your network needs to be small enough for the link to the appliance and the appliance to handle the full load. If someone could correct any errors in my thought process. Thanks

Hello, Pala!

Can you, please, give example how configre G2 switch to work as sensor? (or some manuals, or link...)
As I know in the past - there was possibility to sensor only S and K series switches.
In new soft version we can add IdentiFi controller.

I have no information about G2 as sensor.

Thank you!

Hi Jarek. You can use X460-G2 as Purview sensor. Feel free to contact the local team directly  Regards Zdenek
