Gigamon — See Every Packet on Every Link in Your Network

Gigamon's network visibility fabric gives security tools, lawful intercept systems, and NOC monitors access to 100% of network traffic — from any link, at any speed, with intelligent filtering, deduplication, and decryption. Ogma designs and deploys Gigamon visibility architectures for telecom, ISP, and enterprise environments across India.

Gigamon Deployment Services

Full Gigamon visibility fabric — from network audit and TAP placement design through packet broker configuration and security tool integration.

Visibility Architecture Design

Network topology audit to identify all critical traffic paths requiring capture. TAP placement plan, packet broker sizing, aggregation ratio calculations, and tool port allocation. Delivered as a formal network design document.

TAP Deployment & Cabling

Physical and optical TAP installation on copper, fibre, and SFP links at 1G to 400G speeds. Passive TAPs for out-of-band monitoring; active TAPs for inline bypass deployments. On-site installation with your network team.

GigaVUE Packet Broker Setup

GigaVUE chassis installation, port card configuration, map (flow filter) creation for each security tool, VLAN tag stripping, GRE/VXLAN decapsulation, deduplication, and time-stamping configuration.

Security Tool Integration

Traffic feeding configuration for IDS/IPS (Suricata, Snort, Palo Alto Threat Prevention), NDR (Darktrace, ExtraHop), DLP, SIEM packet capture, and lawful intercept mediation devices. Each tool receives only the traffic it needs.

SSL/TLS Decryption

Gigamon TLS decryption configuration for encrypted traffic inspection. Certificate management, private key security, compliance-aware decryption policy (what to decrypt, what to bypass). Enables security tools to see encrypted threats.

Managed Visibility Service

GigaVUE firmware management, map updates as network topology changes, TAP port monitoring and alerting, and L2 incident support. Ensures your visibility fabric keeps pace with your network as it evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions

A network TAP (Test Access Point) is a passive, hardware device inserted into a network link that copies 100% of all packets — including physical layer errors, undersized frames, and traffic during congestion — to a monitoring port without affecting the live traffic flow. A SPAN or mirror port on a switch is software-based: it drops packets when the switch CPU is busy, cannot capture certain frame types, and changes the characteristics of the traffic copy. For security monitoring, lawful intercept, and compliance-grade capture, TAPs are required — not SPAN ports.

A Gigamon packet broker (the GigaVUE family) aggregates traffic from multiple TAPs, applies filtering and deduplication, strips VLAN tags, performs header stripping (removes GRE/VXLAN tunnels to expose the inner packet), and distributes specific traffic to specific security tools. Without a packet broker, each security tool would need its own TAP on every link — impractical and expensive. The packet broker acts as a traffic switchboard, feeding the right traffic to the right tools at the right speed.

Yes. Gigamon supports 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G, and 400G link speeds across the GigaVUE product family. The GigaVUE-HC3 handles mixed 10G/40G/100G environments; GigaVUE-TA200 and TA400 handle 100G and 400G high-density aggregation. Ogma selects the appropriate platform based on your link speeds, port count requirements, and traffic aggregation ratios.

Gigamon TAPs passively copy traffic at network ingress/egress points. The packet broker applies flow-based filtering to extract specific subscriber traffic (identified by IP, MSISDN, IMSI, or flow signature) and forwards it to the LI mediation device in the required format. This avoids the need to tap every individual network element — a single Gigamon deployment at the internet peering or core router can serve as the centralised traffic collection point for LI across all downstream subscribers.

Gigamon Inline Bypass allows security tools (IPS, WAF, DLP, next-gen firewalls) to be deployed inline in the traffic path — so they can block threats — while Gigamon manages failover if the security tool fails or becomes overloaded. If the inline tool fails, Gigamon can bypass it automatically to prevent network outage. This is the standard deployment model for active security tools in carrier and enterprise networks.

Ogma provides: TAP placement design (based on your network topology and monitoring requirements), GigaVUE packet broker sizing and configuration, map (flow filter) design for each security tool, SSL/TLS decryption configuration, LI integration, SIEM and NDR tool feeding, and ongoing configuration management as your network changes. We also provide Gigamon training for your NOC team.
