Configuring Tap Aggregation Devices

CVP enables you to select and configure devices for tap aggregation. When you configure a device, you specify the tap aggregation interfaces, aggregation groups, and tool interfaces. You can also view the running configuration on the device and the differences between the designed configuration and running configuration.

You use the tap aggregation screen to select the device for configuration, and the Tap Aggregation Manager to configure the device.

Complete these steps to configure a device:

  1. Go to the tap aggregation screen.
