TAP Aggregation Introduction
ethernet-based switches are commonly deployed in dedicated networks to support Test Access Point (TAP) and mirror port traffic toward one or more analysis applications. Ports configured to mirror data can simultaneously switch traffic to its primary destination while directing a copy of that traffic to analysis or test devices. TAP ports are typically part of a dedicated environment that allows for the aggregation of data streams from multiple sources that can be directed to multiple destinations.
Arista switches support port mirroring and TAP aggregation and the data structures required by these functions.
TAP Aggregation Description
TAP Aggregation
Test Access Point (TAP) aggregation is the accumulation of data streams and the subsequent dispersal of these streams to devices and applications that analyze, test, verify, parse, detect, or store data. TAP aggregation requires an environment free from switching operations. Arista switches operate in one of two device modes:
- Switching mode: the switch performs normal switching and routing operations. Data mirroring is supported in switching mode. Tap aggregation is not available in switching mode.
- TAP aggregation mode: The switch is a data-monitoring device and does not
provide normal switching and routing services. Data mirroring is not available in
tap aggregation mode.
Access control lists, port channels, LAGs, QoS, and VLANs function normally in both modes.
ethernet and port channel interfaces are configured as TAP and tool ports to support tap aggregation.
- TAP ports: a tap port is an interface that receives a data stream that two
network ports exchange.
TAP ports prohibit egress traffic. MAC learning is disabled. All control plane interaction is prevented. Traps for inbound traffic are disabled. Tap ports are in STP forwarding mode.
- Tool ports: A tool port is an interface that replicates data streams received
by one or more tap ports. Tool ports connect to devices that process the monitored
data streams.
Tool ports prohibit ingress traffic. MAC learning is disabled. All control plane interaction is prevented. Tool ports are in STP forwarding mode.
TAP and tool ports are configured with the switchport mode command. These ports are active when the switch is in tap aggregation mode and error-disabled when the switch is in switching mode.
TAP and tool ports are designated through switchport mode commands and act similar to trunk ports, in that they can allow access to VLANs specified through allowed-VLAN lists. Tap ports also specify a native VLAN for handling untagged frames.
Access, trunk, and dot1q-tunnel mode ports are active when the switch is in switching mode and error-disabled when the switch is in tap aggregation mode.
TAP and tool mode ports are active when the switch is in TAP aggregation mode and error-disabled when the switch is in switching mode.
TAP aggregation groups are data structures that map a set of TAP ports to a set of tool ports. Both TAP and tool ports may belong to multiple TAP aggregation groups, and a TAP aggregation group may contain multiple TAP and tool ports.
Timestamps and Keyframes
FM6000 platform switches support packet timestamping of packets sent from any port at line rate. Timestamps are used to correlate network events and in performance analysis. Keyframes provide information to assist in the interpretation of timestamps.
The switch contains two 64-bit counters to maintain ASIC time and UTC time. ASIC time is based on an internal 350 MHz counter. UTC is absolute time that is maintained by a precision oscillator and synchronized through PTP.
Timestamps are derived from the least significant 31 bits of ASIC time. Based on the 350 MHz counter period and 31-bit resolution, timestamp values repeat every 6.135 seconds.
Keyframes are periodically inserted into the data stream to provide context for interpreting timestamps. Keyframes contain the 64-bit value of the ASIC time counter, the corresponding 64-bit value of the UTC time counter, and the elapsed time since the last PTP synchronization of the UTC counter. Inserting one keyframe every second into the data stream assures that the timestamp value in each egress packet can be associated with values of the complete 64-bit ASIC time counter and the corresponding UTC counter.
Timestamps
Timestamps are based on a frame’s ingress time and applied to frames sent on egress ports, ensuring that timestamps on monitored traffic reflect ingress timing of the original frames. Timestamping is configured on the egress port where the timestamp is applied to the frame.
A timestamp consists of the least significant 31 bits of the ASIC time counter. The most significant bit of the least significant byte is a 0 pad, resulting in a 32-bit timestamp with 31 bits of data. The keyframe mechanism provides recovery of the most significant 33 bits of the ASIC counters and a map to UTC time. Applications use this mechanism to determine the absolute time of the frame timestamp.
- Disabled: timestamping is disabled.
- FCS Replacement Mode: the original FCS is discarded, and the ingress timestamp is appended to frame data, followed by a new FCS that is based on the appended timestamp. The result is a valid ethernet frame, but the headers of all nested protocols are not updated to reflect the timestamp.
- FCS Appending Mode: the original FCS is discarded and replaced by the ingress timestamp. The size of the original frame is maintained without any latency impact, but the FCS is not valid.
Keyframes
- MAC fields (12 bytes):
- Source MAC address is the address of the egress interface transmitting the keyframe.
- Destination MAC address is configured through a CLI command.
- IP Header (20 bytes):
- Source IP address is configured through CLI; default is management interface IP address.
- Destination IP address is configured through a CLI command.
- TTL is set to 64.
- TOS is set to 0.
- Protocol field is set to 253.
- IP header’s ID field is set to 0.
- ASIC time: (64 bits) ASIC time counter. (2.857 ns resolution).
- UTC time:(64 bits) Unix time that corresponds to ASIC time (ns).
- Last sync time: (64 bits) ASIC time of most recent PTP synchronization.
- Keyframe time: (64 bits) ASIC time of the keyframe’s egress (ns).
- Egress interface drops: (64 bits) Number of dropped frames on keyframe’s egress interface.
- Device ID: (16 bits) device ID (user defined).
- Egress interface: (16 bits) Keyframe’s egress switchport.
- FCS type (8 bits): Timestamping mode configured on keyframe’s egress
port.
- 0: timestamping disabled.
- 1: timestamp is appended to payload; new FCS is added to the frame.
- 2: timestamp overwrites the existing FCS.
- Reserved (8 bits): reserved for future use.
- Skew numerator/skew denominator: form a ratio indicating the ASIC clock skew. If the ratio is greater than 1, the clock is skewed fast; if the ratio is less than 1, the clock is skewed slow.
Last sync time equals 0 when there was no previous synchronization or the time since the last synchronization is greater than 8 hours.
The 31-bit frame timestamp provides high-resolution timing, rolling over about every 6.135 seconds (31 bits at 2.857ns per tick). To obtain the full ASIC time and to correlate the timestamp to an absolute UTC time, the switch sends keyframes. Each keyframe contains the current ASIC time and UTC time; hence an application can compute the high order bits of the ASIC time (for precise, relative timing) from the ASIC to UTC time mapping, and then determine absolute time.
ASIC to UTC time conversion is not quite immediate, so the UTC time in the frame will not be the current time. A keyframe timestamp is provided for this purpose. The frame also includes the timestamping mode (FCS type) so applications can dynamically determine the timestamp’s byte offset. Each field is shown in the following table.
| 0 7 | 8 15 | 16 31 |
| ASIC time | ||
| UTC time | ||
| Last sync time | ||

TAP Aggregation Extra MPLS Pop (4 to 6 Labels)
Available starting with eos Release 4.23.1F extra MPLS pop for TAP Aggregation allows you to remove four to six MPLS labels from a packet. Previously, only one to three labels were able to be popped.
When configured, popping four to six MPLS labels works in all the cases where popping one to three MPLS labels works.
TAP Aggregation Extra MPLS Pop configuration
MPLS pop is configurable per tap port as follows to pop one to three labels:
(config-if-Et1/1)# switchport tap mpls pop allHowever, MPLS pop for four to six labels requires a user defined TAP Aggregation profile based on off of tap-aggregation-extended. This profile musthave one action and three fields configured under the tapagg port feature, such as the following:
(config)# hardware tcam
(config-hw-tcam)# profile foo copy tap-aggregation-extended
(config-profile-foo)# feature tapagg port
(config-profile-foo-feature-tapagg-port)# action set-fwd-header
(config-profile-foo-feature-tapagg-port)# key field mpls-label1-lower-24b mpls-label2-lower-24b mpls-label3-lower-24b
(config-profile-foo-feature-tapagg-port)# tap aggregation
Saving new profile 'foo'
(config-tap-agg)# mode exclusive profile fooWith the above profile changes, four to six MLPS label pop is additionally supported when the MPLS pop feature is configured on a tap port.
(config-tap-agg)# show hardware tcam profileUpon successful installation of a TAP Aggregation profile, you should see a display similar to the following:
configuration Status
FixedSystem foo* foo
* configuration overridden by TapAggConfiguring a Local LFIB Convergence Delay for Protected Node or Adjacency Segments
The Point of Local Repair (PLR) switches to the TI-LFA backup path on link failure or BFD neighbor failure but switches back to the post-convergence path once the PLR computes SPF and updates its LFIB. This sequence of events can lead to micro-loops in the topology if the PLR converges faster than other routers along the post-convergence path. So a configuration option is provided to apply a delay, after which the LFIB route being protected by the TI-LFA loop-free repair path will be replaced by the post-convergence LFIB route.
To configure a convergence delay only to LFIB routes that are being protected, the following command is used either in the router IS-IS mode or the router IS-IS address-family sub-mode. A default of 10 seconds is used when using the command without an explicitly specified delay.
switch(config-router-isis-af)# timers local-convergence-delay [<delay_in_milliseconds>] protected-prefixesLimitations
IP Steering
IP steering does not work for MPLS packets with four or more labels. Currently, you must work around this limitation with a configuration similar to the configuration for IP Steering. This workaround does not work when MPLS pop is not enabled.
configuration for IP Steering
When MPLS pop is enabled, you can enable IP steering for for to six MPLS labels by adding an extra port into the configuration as a tap-tool port.
For example,you want to perform IP steering from interface ethernet1 to a set of interfaces and also want MPLS labels to be popped. Add a new interface ethernet2, which will not receive any external traffic, as a tap-tool port with traffic loopback. Then configure ethernet1 to forward to ethernet2 as its default interface. The commands would look similar to the following:
(config-if-Et2)# swi mode tap-tool
(config-if-Et2)# traffic-loopback source system device phy
(config-if-Et2)# int et1
(config-if-Et1)# swi tap default interface et2All of ethernet1’s old tool ports should be disabled and become ethernet2’s tool ports. Then, all IP steering configuration that was originally meant to be between ET1 and its old tool ports should be configured with ethernet2 in place of ethernet1. Finally, configure MPLS pop on ethernet1.
TAP Aggregation Extra MPLS POP (4 to 6 Labels) commands
TAP Aggregation configuration
Enabling Tap Aggregation Mode
The switch supports switching mode and TAP aggregation mode. In switching mode, normal switching and routing functions are supported while TAP aggregation functions are disabled. In TAP aggregation mode, TAP aggregation functions are enabled while normal switching and routing functions are disabled. By default, the switch is in switching mode.
- Tap aggregation mode enabled: TAP and tool ports are enabled. Switching ports are errdisabled.
- Tap aggregation mode disabled: TAP and tool ports are errdisabled. Switching ports are enabled.
To enable the switch to carry out TAP aggregation, first enter TAP aggregation configuration mode using the tap aggregation command, then set the mode to exclusive.
Example
switch(config)# tap aggregation
switch(config-tap-agg)# mode exclusive
switch(config-tap-agg)# show active
tap aggregation
mode exclusive
switch(config-tap-agg)#To return the switch to switching mode, remove the mode command from running-config.
- These commands enter TAP aggregation configuration mode, then place the switch in
switching mode.
switch(config)# tap aggregation switch(config-tap-agg)# no mode switch(config-tap-agg)# show active switch(config-tap-agg)# - These commands enter switching mode and remove all TAP aggregation configuration
mode statements.
switch(config)# no tap aggregation switch(config)#
TAP Aggregation Mixed Mode
Mixed Mode Platform Compatibility
The following platforms support TAP Aggregation Mixed Mode.
- DCS-7500R
- DCS-7500R2
Mixed Mode configuration
TAP Port configuration
TAP ports function when the switch is in TAP aggregation mode. TAP ports receive traffic for replication to one or more tool ports. In TAP aggregation mode, TAP ports are in STP forwarding state and prohibit egress traffic. MAC learning, control plane interaction and traps for inbound traffic are disabled.
TAP mode ports are configured through switchport mode commands. TAP mode command settings persist in running-config without taking effect when the switch is not in TAP aggregation mode or the interface is not in TAP aggregation mode.
Configuring an Interface as a Tap Mode Port
ethernet and port-channel interfaces are configured as TAP ports with the switchport mode command.
Example
switch(config)# interface ethernet 41-43
switch(config-if-Et41-43)# switchport mode tap
switch(config-if-Et41-43)# show interface ethernet 41-43 tap

switch(config-if-Et41-43)#TAP Port Allowed VLAN List configuration
By default, TAP mode interfaces handle tagged traffic for all VLANs. The switchport tap allowed vlan command creates or modifies the set of VLANs for which a TAP port handles tagged traffic.
Example
switch(config)# interface ethernet 41
switch(config-if-Et41)# switchport tap allowed vlan 401-410
switch(config-if-Et41)# interface ethernet 42
switch(config-if-Et42)# switchport tap allowed vlan 411-420

switchport tap allowed vlan 411-420
switch(config-if-Et41-42)#TAP Port Native VLAN
Tap mode Interfaces associate untagged frames with the tap mode native VLAN. The switchport tap native vlan command specifies the TAP-mode native VLAN for the configuration-mode interface. The default TAP-mode native VLAN for all interfaces is vlan 41.
Example
switch(config)# interface ethernet 41
switch(config-if-Et41)# switchport tap native vlan 400
switch(config-if-Et41)# show interface ethernet 41-43 tap

switch(config-if-Et41)#TAP Port Packet Truncation
TAP ports can be configured to truncate inbound packets. The switchport tap truncation command configures the configuration-mode interface, as a TAP port, to truncate inbound packets to the specified packet size. By default, TAP ports do not truncate packets.
- These commands configure interface ethernet 41 to
truncate packets to 150
bytes.
switch(config)# interface ethernet 41 switch(config-if-Et41)# switchport tap truncation 150 switch(config-if-Et41)# show interface ethernet 41-43 tap Port Configured Status Native Id Truncation Default Mode Vlan Vlan Group ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Et41 tap tap 400 1 150 --- Et42 tap tap 1 1 0 --- Et43 tap tap 1 1 0 --- switch(config-if-Et41)# - These commands configure interface ethernet 41 to

switch(config-if-Et41)# no switchport tap truncation switch(config-if-Et41)# show interface ethernet 41 tap Port Configured Status Native Id Truncation Default Mode Vlan Vlan Group ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Et41 tap tap 400 1 0 --- switch(config-if-Et41)#
Tool Port configuration
Tool ports replicate traffic received by TAP ports. Tool ports are mapped to the TAP ports through TAP aggregation groups. A tool port may belong to multiple aggregation groups and an aggregation group may contain multiple tool ports.
Tool ports function when the switch is in TAP aggregation mode. In this switch mode, tool ports are in STP forwarding state and ingress traffic is prohibited. MAC learning, control plane interaction, and traps for inbound traffic are disabled. All control plane interaction is prevented and L2 agents do not send PDUs to tool-mode interfaces. When the switch is in switching mode, tool ports are error-disabled.
Tool-mode ports are configured through switchport commands. Tool-mode command settings persist in running-config without taking effect when the switch is not in TAP aggregation mode or the interface is not in TAP aggregation mode.
Configuring an Interface as a Tool-mode Port
ethernet and port channel interfaces are configured as tool ports with the switchport mode command.
Example
switch(config)# interface port-channel 101-103
switch(config-if-Po101-103)# switchport mode tool
switch(config-if-Po101-103)# show interface port-channel 101-103 tool

switch(config-if-Po101-103)#Tool Port Allowed VLAN List configuration
By default, tool mode interfaces handle tagged traffic for all VLANs. The switchport tool allowed vlan command creates or modifies the set of VLANs for which a tool port handles tagged traffic.
Example
switch(config)# interface port-channel 101-103
switch(config-if-Po101-103)# switchport tool allowed vlan 1010-1020

switch(config-if-Po103)#Tool Port Packet Truncation
Tool ports can be configured to truncate outbound packets. The switchport tool truncation command configures the configuration-mode interface, as a tool port, to truncate outbound packets to 160 bytes. By default, tool ports do not truncate packets.
Tool port packet truncation is supported only on the 7150 series platform.
- These commands configure interface ethernet 41, as
a tool port, to truncate packets on egress to
160
bytes.
switch(config)# interface ethernet 41 switch(config-if-Et41)# switchport mode tool switch(config-if-Et41)# switchport tool truncation 160 switch(config-if-Et41)# - These commands configure interface ethernet 41 to

switch(config-if-Et41)# no switchport tool truncation switch(config-if-Et41)#
Per-linecard TCAM Profile configuration
This feature gives the ability to specify different profiles for different linecards in mixed mode.
To enable the TAP aggregation mode and configure a TCAM profile for a linecard set, complete the following steps:
- Enable the switch for
configuration.
switch> configure terminal - Enable TAP aggregation
mode.
switch(config)# tap aggregation - Configure the TCAM profile for a linecard
set.
switch(config-tap-agg)# mode mixed module linecard 3,4 profile tap-aggregation-default switch(config-tap-agg)# mode mixed module linecard 5,6 profile tap-aggregation-extended switch(config-tap-agg)#
To disable TAP aggregation on a linecard set, complete the following steps:
- Enable the switch for
configuration.
switch> configure terminal - Enable TAP aggregation
mode.
switch(config)# tap aggregation - Disable TAP aggregation for a linecard
set.
switch(config-tap-agg)# no mode mixed module linecard 3,4 switch(config-tap-agg)#
Two-Way Ports for TAP Aggregation
Two-Way Ports Platform Compatibility
Two-way ports are available on selected platforms as described here: https://www.arista.com/en/support/product-documentation/supported-features
Two-Way Ports configuration
To enable a two-way port, use the tap-tool option of the switchport mode command.
Example
switch(config)# interface ethernet 4/1
switch(config-if-Et4/1)# switchport mode tap-tool
switch(config-if-Et4/1)#Additional configurations for TAP and tool functionality on the interface remain the same. Once the user enables the TAP-tool switchport mode on the interface, they can use the existing TAP and tool mode commands to enable their respective configurations.
Arista recommends using this feature with unidirectional send-receive enabled on the interface, which allows the receiver and transmitter for the interface to operate independently. If one goes down, the other remains active. To enable unidirectional send-receive on an interface, use the unidirectional send-receive command.
Example
switch(config)# interface ethernet 4/1
switch(config-if-Et4/1)# unidirectional send-receive
switch(config-if-Et4/1)#TAP Aggregation QoS Handling on TAP Ports
QoS Handling Platform Compatibility
The following platforms support QoS handling on TAP ports.
- DCS-7280E
- DCS-7280R
- DCS-7500E
- DCS-7500R
- DCS-7280R2
QoS Handling configuration
Trust Mode of TAP Ports
TAP ports are in QoS untrusted mode by default. This means that the QoS marking of an incoming packet is not trusted when determining the QoS attributes of the packet. Therefore, the default QoS handling takes place. Consider the default CoS to traffic class mapping in the following example.
switch(config)# show qos maps
[...]
Cos-tc map:
cos: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
----------------------------
tc: 1 0 2 3 4 5 6 7
[...]The Class of Service (CoS) field of incoming packets is ignored and is assumed to be zero. In this example, all packets are assigned to traffic class 1 when using the above mapping.
To override the default trust mode behavior on a TAP port, use the qos trust command.
Example
switch(config-if-Et1)# qos trust cos
switch(config-if-Et1)#Class of Service Rewrite of TAP Ports
By default, TAP ports do not override the existing Class of Service (CoS) field of incoming packets. In other words, the CoS marking of steered packets is not changed in any way.
However, the CoS field of added tags may change according to the traffic class to CoS mapping. For example, the identity tag added by TAP ports may have the CoS value from the global traffic class to CoS mapping. Consider the following mapping:
switch(config)# show qos maps
[...]
Tc-cos map:
tc: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
----------------------------

switch#Identity VLAN Tagging
By default, tool port output packets are identical to the replicated packets they receive from the tap ports to which they are associated. Identity tagging modifies packets sent by tool ports by adding a dot1q VLAN tag that identifies the originating TAP port. Each TAP port is associated with an identity number. Tool ports that are configured to add an identity tag append the originating TAP port’s identity number in the outer layer (or s-VLAN) tag.
Tap Port Identity Value configuration
The switchport tap identity command configures the TAP port identity value for the configuration-mode interface. The default identity value for all TAP ports is 1.
Example
switch(config)# interface ethernet 42
switch(config-if-Et42)# switchport tap identity 1042

switch(config-if-Et42)#Tool Port Identity Tag configuration
The switchport tool identity command configures the configuration-mode interface to include a tier-1 VLAN tag (dot1q) in packets it transmits. The VLAN number on the dot1q tag is the identity value configured for the TAP port that supplies the packets. By default, tool ports do not encapsulate packets with the tier-1 VLAN tag.
Example

switch(config-if-Po102)#TAP Aggregation Group configuration
TAP aggregation groups associate a set of TAP ports with a set of tool ports. A tool port replicates packets it receives from TAP ports that are in the aggregation groups to which it belongs. A TAP port can be configured to send data to multiple TAP aggregation groups. Tool ports may belong to multiple TAP aggregation groups. TAP aggregation groups may contain multiple TAP ports and multiple tool ports.
Assigning a Tool Port to a TAP Aggregation Group
Tool ports are assigned to a TAP aggregation group through the switchport tool group command. Each command either creates a list or alters the existing list of groups to which a tool port belongs.

switch(config-if-Et43)#Default TAP Aggregation Groups
A TAP port has multiple default groups. When traffic entering a TAP port does not match any filtering or traffic-steering rules for TAP aggregation groups configured on that port, it is sent to all default groups.
Example
switch(config)# interface ethernet 43
switch(config-if-Et43)# switchport tap default group analyze2 group analyze3
switch(config-if-Et43)#Viewing TAP Aggregation Group Assignments
TAP aggregation group membership is displayed by show tap aggregation groups. Options allow the display of individual groups or of all configured groups. The command displays active tool and TAP ports by default, and provides an option to display configured ports that are not active.

Link Aggregation Groups (LAGs) can be included in tool groups for load balancing. A tool group can contain both LAGs and regular ports. Each member of a tool group receives one copy of the traffic destined to the group. Traffic is replicated to tool group members using multicast replication. The traffic replicated to LAGs is then load balanced to their members as per load-balance policies configured on the system.
If a tool group has no more than 60 members with at least one hardware LAG, then the replication mode of the tool group is set to ingress-only. Otherwise, the replication mode of the tool group is set to the configured system default multicast replication mode. See platform sand multicast replication default for more information on configuration of the system default replication mode.
Example
switch(config)# platform sand multicast replication default ingress
switch(config)#TAP Aggregation Traffic Steering
Traffic steering is a TAP aggregation process that uses class maps and policy maps to direct data streams at tool ports that are not otherwise associated to the ingress TAP port. A policy map is a data structure that filters data streams upon which identity VLAN tagging or TAP aggregation group assignment is implemented.
TAP-aggregation class maps and policy maps are similar to QoS and control-plane maps. However, policy maps and their components are not interchangeable among function types.
TAP Aggregation Policies
- A class map uses ACLs that identify packets that comprise a specified data stream.
- Packet content descriptors specify packet field values that are compared to inbound packets.
- A traffic resolution command or parameter specifies data handling methods for filtered traffic.
Each data packet entering an entity to which a policy map is assigned is managed as defined by the traffic resolution command of the highest priority class or rule that matches the packet.
- specify a TAP aggregation group to direct the packet.
- specify a VLAN number for identity tagging the packet.
TAP aggregation policy maps do not define an implicit deny statement. Packets that do not match a policy map class or rule are replicated and sent out tool ports specified by the default aggregation group assigned to the ingress TAP port. If no default group is selected, these packets are dropped.
Configuring TAP Aggregation Traffic Policies
TAP aggregation traffic policies are implemented by creating class maps and policy maps, then applying the policy maps to ethernet and port-channel interfaces.
Creating Class Maps
A class map is an ordered list of IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs). Each ACL is assigned a sequence number that specifies its priority in the class map. TAP aggregation class maps utilize ACL permit rules to pass packets and deny rules to drop packets.
Class maps are created and modified in class-map configuration mode, which is entered using the class-map type tapagg. The match (class-map (tapagg)) command inserts a specified ACL into the class map, assigning it a sequence number that denotes its placement.
Class-map configuration mode is a group-change mode. Changes made in a group-change mode are saved by exiting the mode. The show active command displays the saved version of class map. The exit command returns the switch to global configuration mode and saves pending class-map changes. The abort command returns the switch to global configuration mode and discards pending changes.
- This command creates a TAP aggregation class map named
t-class_1 and places the switch in the
class-map configuration
mode.
switch(config)# class-map type tapagg match-any t-class_1 switch(config-cmap-t-class_1)# - These commands add two IPv4 ACLs (tacl-1 and
tacl-2) to the
t-class_1 class map. The commands use the
default method of assigning sequence numbers to the
ACLs.
switch(config-cmap-t-class_1)# match ip access-group tacl-1 switch(config-cmap-t-class_1)#match ip access-group tacl-2 switch(config-cmap-t-class_1)# - These commands exit class-map configuration mode, store pending changes to
running-config, then display the class
map.
switch(config-cmap-t-class_1)# exit switch(config)# class-map type tapagg match-any t-class_1 switch(config-cmap-t-class_1)# show active class-map type tapagg match-any t-class_1 10 match ip access-group tacl-1 20 match ip access-group tacl-2 switch(config-cmap-t-class_1)#
Creating Policy Maps
Policy maps are created and modified in policy-map configuration mode. A policy map is an ordered list of classes and match rules. Policy maps are edited by adding or removing map elements. Data packets are managed by commands of the highest priority class or rule that matches the packet.
Classes
- The class map identifies a data stream by using an ordered list of ACLs. Class maps are configured in class-map (tapagg) configuration mode.
- The set command specifies the replication method for filtered data packets, either through an associated aggregation group or identity VLAN tagging.
- The sequence number specifies the class’s priority within the policy map. Lower sequence numbers denote higher priority.
Matching Rules
- The filter list identifies a data stream by using a set of packet field values.
- The action, (SET_VALUE parameter) specifies the replication method of filtered data packets, either through an associated aggregation group or identity VLAN tagging.
- The sequence number specifies the rule’s priority within the policy map. Lower sequence numbers denote higher priority.
Policy-map and policy-map-class configuration modes are group-change modes. Changes are saved with the exit command or discarded with the abort command. The show active and show pending commands display the saved and modified policy map versions respectively.
The class (policy-map (tapagg)) command enters policy-map configuration mode.
Example
switch(config)# policy-map type tapagg t-policy_1
switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1)#- specifies an aggregation group.
- specifies a VLAN identity tag for replicated packets.
- specifies an aggregation group and a VLAN identity tag.
Examples
- These commands add the t-class_1 class map to the
t-policy_1 policy map, associate a set
statement with the class, then save the policy map by exiting the modes. Packets
filtered by the class map are identity tagged with VLAN
444 and replicated as specified by the
t-grp aggregation
group.
switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1)# class t-class_1 switch(config-pmap-c-t-policy_1-t-class_1)# set aggregation-group t-grp id-tag 444 switch(config-pmap-c-t-policy_1-t-class_1)# exit switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1)# exit switch(config)# policy-map type tapagg t-policy_1 switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1)# show active policy-map type tapagg t-policy_1 10 class t-class_1 set aggregation-group t-group id-tag 444 switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1)#The match (policy-map (tapagg)) command adds a match rule to the configuration-mode TAP aggregation policy map.
- This command enters policy-map configuration mode for
t-policy_1, then creates a match rule for the
policy map that filters OSPF packets and replicates them as specified by
t-grp TAP aggregation
group.
switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1)# match ip ospf any any set aggregation-group t-grp switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1)#
Applying Policy Maps to an Interface
The service-policy type tapagg (Interface mode) command applies a specified policy map to the configuration-mode interface.
Example
switch(config)# interface ethernet 17
switch(config-if-Et17)# service-policy type tapagg input tpolicy_1
switch(config-if-Et17)#Stripping VLAN Tags
The traffic-steering policies in tap aggregation mode allows steering traffic from tap ports to tool ports using set (policy-map-class (tapagg)) command, while the ‘set id-tag’ tags the traffic with the specified VLAN ID in the dot1q format. The class (policy-map (tapagg)) command allows removing VLAN tags from the steered traffic. It supports all traffic types that the traffic steering policies support such as IPv4, IPv6, and MAC.
A tap port is an interface that receives a data stream where two network ports exchange.
A tool port is an interface that replicates data streams received by one or more tap ports. Tool ports connect to the devices that process monitored data streams.
Example
These commands place the switch in policy-map-class to add the t-class_1 class map to the t-policy_1 policy map. The first, second, or both of the two outer-most VLAN tags are stripped.
switch(config)# policy-map type tapagg t-policy_1
switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1)# class t-class_1
switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1t-class_1)# set aggregation-group t-group remove dot1q outer 1-2
switch(config-pmap-c-t-policy_1-t-class_1)# set aggregation-group t-group id-tag 10
switch(config-pmap-c-t-policy_1-t-class_1)# set id-tag 10 remove dot1q outer 1
switch(config-pmap-c-t-policy_1-t-class_1)# set aggregation-group t-group
switch(config-pmap-c-t-policy_1-t-class_1)# set id-tag 10
switch(config-pmap-c-t-policy_1-t-class_1)# set aggregation-group t-group id-tag 10 remove dot1q outer 1-2Traffic Steering to Match Inner Header Fields
This feature allows matching the inner header fields (either IPv4 or IPv6 inner fields) of encapsulated traffic.
The following convention is adopted when describing an encapsulated traffic: <inner-protocol>-over-<outer-protocol>. For example, the IPv4-over-IPv6 packet indicates that the inner fields belong to IPv4 protocol and the outer fields belong to IPv6 protocol.
Supported Packet Types and Inner Header Fields
- IP-over-IP traffic
- IP-over-GRE traffic, with the following packet format
supported:
- [ Eth | IPv4 or IPv6 | GRE | Inner IPv4 or IPv6 ]
- [ Eth | IPv4 | GRE | Inner Eth | Inner IPv4 ], which will be referred to as L2-GRE packet
- IP-over-GTP traffic (only in DCS-7280R3 and DCS-7500R3
series), with the following packet format
supported
- [ Eth | IPv4 | GTP | Inner IPv4 or IPv6 ]
- [ Eth | IPv6 | GTP | Inner IPv4 or IPv6 ]
The following inner header fields are supported:
- inner source IP address
- inner destination IP address
- inner TCP/UDP protocol
- inner source port number
- inner destination port number.
Configuring Traffic Steering to Match Inner Header Fields
To enable traffic steering with an ACL rule that matches the inner IP addresses, a user-defined TCAM profile must be configured for each type of IP protocol to which the inner IP addresses belong. For example, to match the inner IPv4 addresses of an IPv4 packet (i.e. IPv4-over-IPv4 traffic) or the inner IPv4 addresses of an IPv6 packet (i.e. IPv4-over-IPv6 traffic), one user-defined TCAM profile must be configured. A different user-defined TCAM profile is needed if matching the inner IPv6 addresses of an IPv4 packet or the inner IPv6 addresses of an IPv6 packet is desired.
The following commands show how to configure different TCAM profiles needed to enable support for matching inner IP headers, depending on the desired inner IP version, and inner IP header fields to be matched. These TCAM profiles are referred to as user-defined TCAM profiles and created based on the existing TCAM profile tap-aggregation-extended.
TCAM Profile to Match Inner IPv4 Header Fields
Match inner IPv4 addresses only.
The following commands configure the TCAM profile for matching only the inner source and destination IP addresses of IPv4 traffic based on the existing TCAM profile tap-aggregation-extended.
Example
switch(config)# hardware tcam
switch(config-hw-tcam)# profile tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4 copy tap-aggregation-extended
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4)# feature tapagg ip
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ip)# no key field src-ip dst-ip
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ip)# key field inner-src-ip-high inner-src-ip-low inner-dst-ip-high inner-dst-ip-low
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ip)# feature tapagg ipv6
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ipv6)# no key field src-ipv6 src-ipv6-high dst-ipv6
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ipv6)# key field inner-src-ip-high inner-src-ip-low inner-dst-ip-high inner-dst-ip-low
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ipv6)# exit
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4)# exitMatch inner IPv4 addresses, inner TCP/UDP protocol and inner port numbers for IP-over-IP and IP-over-GRE traffic.
In addition to matching inner IPv4 addresses, the previous user-defined TCAM profile can also be configured to match the inner TCP/UDP protocol and their corresponding port numbers. The commands to configure these inner fields are shown below.
Note that, due to hardware limitation, the feature “tapagg mac” is disabled in this TCAM profile to make room for matching additional inner header fields.
Example
switch(config-hw-tcam)# profile tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4)# no feature tapagg mac
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4)# feature tapagg ip

switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ip)# key field inner-ip-protocol inner-l4-src-port inner-l4-dst-port
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ip)# feature tapagg ipv6
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ipv6)# no key field l4-src-port l4-dst-port
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ipv6)# key field inner-ip-protocol inner-l4-src-port inner-l4-dst-port
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ipv6)# exit
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4)# exitMatch inner IPv4 addresses, inner TCP/UDP protocol and inner port numbers for L2-GRE packets.
The same user-defined TCAM profile can be updated to support traffic steering that matches on inner header fields for L2-GRE packets, simply by adding a new packet type.
Example
switch(config-hw-tcam)# profile tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4)# feature tapagg ip
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ip)# packet ipv4 eth ipv4 forwarding bridged
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4)# feature tapagg port
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-port)# packet ipv4 eth ipv4 forwarding bridgedMatch inner IPv4 addresses, inner TCP/UDP protocol and inner port numbers for IP-over-GTP packets.
We can re-use the same user-defined TCAM profile and update it to support traffic steering that matches on inner header fields for IP-over-GTP packets, simply by adding a new packet type.
Example
switch(config-hw-tcam)# profile tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4)# feature tapagg ip
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ip)# no packet ipv4 eth ipv4 forwarding bridged
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-ip)# packet ipv4 gtpv1 ipv4 forwarding bridged
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4)# feature tapagg port

switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-inner-ip4-feature-tapagg-port)# packet ipv6 gtpv1 ipv4 forwarding bridgedMatch inner and outer IPv4 addresses.
If matching a combination of inner and outer IP header fields is desired, the user-defined TCAM profile must be updated to include the desired fields. For example, instead of matching both inner source and inner destination IPv4 addresses as illustrated by this TCAM profile, if users would like to match outer source IPv4 address and inner destination IPv4 address only (and ignoring outer destination and inner source IPv4 addresses). The following commands show how to configure a TCAM profile for such filtering.
Example
switch(config)# hardware tcam
switch(config-hw-tcam)# profile tap-aggregation-user-outer-inner-ip4 copy tap-aggregation-extended
switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-outer-inner-ip4)# feature tapagg ip

switch(config-hw-tcam-profile-tap-aggregation-user-outer-inner-ip4)# exitTCAM Profile to Match Inner IPv6 Header Fields

In order to apply traffic steering for particular packets based on their inner header fields, ACL rules that can filter such traffic must be created, as shown in the example.
- ACL rule for filtering an IPv4-over-IPv4 traffic based
on the inner
addresses.
switch(config)# ip access-list acl1 switch(config-acl-acl1)# permit ip any any inner ip host 1.2.3.4 host 5.6.7.8 - ACL rule for filtering an IPv4-over-IPv4 traffic based

Limitations
- Only IP (IPv4 and IPv6), GRE and GTP outer protocols are supported.
- Other outer protocols are not supported.
- Only IP (IPv4 and IPv6), TCP and UDP inner protocols are supported.
- Other inner protocols are not supported.
- To configure support for matching inner IPv4 addresses (for either IPv4 or IPv6 outer packets), a custom user-defined TCAM profile is required. A different user-defined TCAM profile is needed if matching inner IPv6 addresses is desired.
- The total size of fields to match must not exceed the TCAM key size limitation (which is 320 bit if tap-aggregation-extended system profile is used as the base profile, or 160 bit for tap-aggregation-default system profile). For example, it is not possible to create a user-defined TCAM profile that matches both outer and inner source/destination address pairs for an IPv6-over-IPv6 packet. This is because each IPv6 address is 128 bit, requiring at least 512 bit to match all 4 addresses, and the TCAM key size is limited to 320 bit.
TAP Aggregation GUI
The switch provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for creating and viewing a TAP aggregation configuration and displaying LANZ traffic statistics.
All commands available on the GUI are accessible through the CLI. The TAP aggregation configuration created through either the CLI or the GUI can be viewed and modified through either medium.
This section provides a brief description of the TAP aggregation GUI.
Accessing the TAP Aggregation GUI
The URL for the TAP aggregation GUI is: //hostname/apps/TapAgg/index.html where the hostname is the switch’s configured hostname. The TAP Aggregation GUI Initial Panel displays the initial TAP aggregation GUI panel for the switch with the hostname ro402.
-
The configuration section displays the TAP aggregation configuration, including the TAP interfaces, tool interfaces, and aggregation groups. Links are displayed to indicate interface group membership.
-
The component section displays information and control buttons for the active configuration entity. When an entity is not selected, the section displays information for the switch (device).
The configuration section displays TAP aggregation components only when the switch is in TAP aggregation mode. To enter TAP aggregation mode, click the TAP Aggregation icon in the component section for the device. The icon is a toggle mechanism; clicking it again disables TAP aggregation mode.
Viewing TAP Aggregation Component Details
TAP Aggregation GUI Panel with TAP Aggregation Mode Enabled displays the TAP aggregation panel when the switch is in TAP aggregation mode. The configuration section indicates that the TAP aggregation configuration consists of three tool interfaces, one TAP interface, and four aggregation groups. ethernet port 10 is the active component; configuration control and traffic information for this interface is available in the component section.
The active component is changed by clicking on the desired component in the configuration section. To display device (switch) information, click on any configuration section outside of any component.
Modifying a TAP Aggregation configuration
- adding a TAP or tool interface: begin typing the interface name in the desired add-interface data entry area to access a drop-down list of available interfaces. Select the desired interface and press the Add button.
- removing an interface from the configuration: select the desired interface in the configuration section and click the deconfigure button in that interface’s component section.
- adding an aggregation group: type the desired name of the new group in the data entry area and press the Add button. The TAP aggregation group name can consist of alphanumeric characters and specific special characters (- _ [ ] { } :) only.
- adding an interface to an aggregation group: select the desired interface in the configuration section, then press the icon of the group in the group membership area of the interface’s component section.
Group icons are toggle buttons; clicking the icon of a group to which the interface belongs removes that interface from the group.
TAP Aggregation Keyframe and Timestamp configuration
TAP Aggregation Keyframe Generation
Keyframes contain routable IP packets that provide information to relate timestamps with the complete ASIC counter and absolute UTC time. The switch supports a maximum of ten keyframes, which are distinguished by their name label. Each keyframe can egress from every ethernet port.
- the platform fm6000 keyframe rate command configures the keyframe’s transmission rate.
- the platform fm6000
keyframe source command configures the source IP address that
is placed in each keyframe’s header. The management interface IP address is the default
source address.
The source MAC address is the MAC address of the egress interface transmitting the keyframe
- the platform fm6000 keyframe device command configures the 16-bit number that keyframes list as the device ID in their payload.
- the platform fm6000 keyframe fields skew command enables the inclusion of clock skew fields in the keyframe.
- the show platform fm6000 keyframe command displays keyframe configuration information.
- This command enables the generation of a keyframe named
key-1 and configures it to egress from interfaces ethernet
11 through 15 with a source IP
address of 10.21.1.4 and a MAC address of
10.4E21.9F11.
switch(config)# platform fm6000 keyframe key-1 interface ethernet 11-15 10.21.1.4 10.4E21.9F11 switch(config)# - This command configures the generation rate for the
keyframe of 10 frames per second on each of the five
interfaces that it is configured to
egress.
switch(config)# platform fm6000 keyframe key-1 rate 10 switch(config)# - This command enables the generation of a keyframe named
key-1 and configures 100 as the

Enabling Timestamp Insertion on an Interface
eos bases timestamps on a frame’s ingress time and applies them to frames sent on egress ports, ensuring that timestamps on monitored traffic reflect ingress timing of the original frames. Time-stamping is configured on the egress port where the timestamp is applied to the frame.
When timestamping is enabled on an egress interface, packets leave the interface with timestamps that were applied in hardware when the packet arrived at the switch. This is facilitated by applying a hardware timestamp to all frames arriving on all interfaces when timestamping is enabled on any interface, then removing timestamps on packets egressing interfaces where timestamping is not enabled.
- before-fcs: the switch discards the original FCS, appends the ingress timestamp at the end of the frame data, recalculates a new FCS based on the appended timestamp, then appends the new FCS to the end of the frame. This creates a valid ethernet frame but does not update headers of any nested protocols.
- replace-fcs: the switch replaces the original FCS with the timestamp. This mode maintains the size of the original frame without any latency impact, but the FCS is not valid.
- These commands enable timestamping in before-fcs mode
on interface ethernet 44 on a 7150
platform.

TapAgg GRE Tunnel Termination
The TapAgg GRE Tunnel Termination feature terminates the GRE packets on a TapAgg switch by stripping the GRE header and then letting the decapped packets go through the normal TapAgg path. With this feature, we can use an L3 GRE tunnel to transit tapped traffic to the TapAgg switch over an L3 network. That would widely extend the available use cases for TapAgg.
- Support IPv4 GRE tunnel interfaces only.
- Support the following GRE types: IPoGRE, L2GRE, GREenSPAN, ERSPAN Type I, ERSPAN Type II, and GREenTAP.
- Do packet forwarding/steering on the decapped packets. Not routing.
- Packets can be forwarded to a set of tool ports.
- Have a command to configure for not stripping the GRE header, so that the TapAgg side may use the information present in the GRE metadata.
Configuring TapAgg GRE Tunnel Termination
The TapAgg GRE Tunnel Termination is allowed to be configured in the following two modes:
- TapAgg Exclusive Mode
- TapAgg Mixed Mode
TapAgg Exclusive Mode
In Tapagg Exclusive mode, GRE tunnel termination is enabled on a selected tap ports through CLI. When traffic comes into those tap ports, the matched GRE packets is decapped and forwarded to the tap port's default forwarding destinations or the steering destinations if it matches the policy ACLs applied.

When there is truncation enabled, either on the tap port that has GRE termination configured or on the tool port that is configured to egress out the decapped packets, the GRE header is stripped from the truncated packets. In other words, the GRE header stripping occurs after truncation. That means the size of the egress packet will be less than the original expectation. For example, if we have configured to truncate packets to a size of 178 bytes, after enabling GRE termination, the egress out packet for a GREenSpan will have a size of 136. It is 178 minus 42 (the total bytes stripped for GREenSpan).
Configuring the Upstream Switch
In TapAgg exclusive mode, the routing protocols are not running so TapAgg Switch will rely on its upstream switch which has routing protocol enabled to forward the GRE packets to it. Tap ports which are selected to receive the GRE packets should be connected to the upstream switch. The upstream switch needs to configure a static route to forward the GRE packets to the link.

TapAgg Mixed Mode
For a modular system, such as the DCS-7500R or DCS-7500R2, routed ports on a non-TapAgg linecard is used to receive GRE packets. In order to use the tap tunnel termination feature, dbTapTunnelTermination must be added to the TCAM profile for the non-TapAgg linecards.

Configuring Tap Aggregation Hardware Forwarding Profile
- The default hardware forwarding profile can be set globally with the

command:
switch(config)# hardware forwarding system profile system-profile-tap-aggregation - When not in Tap Aggregation mode the default hardware forwarding profile should be
returned to the default system profile with the same
command:
switch(config)# hardware forwarding system profile system-profile-default - For a modular system the system default profile can also be overridden on a per line
card basis with the
command:
switch(config)# hardware forwarding module Linecard3 profile system-profile-tap-aggregationNote: If this command is used to set the hardware forwarding profile of a specific line card then changing the system default profile with the hardware forwarding system profile command will not affect that line card until the line card specific configuration is removed.

Configuring MPLS Pop
- On DCS-7280R/R2, DCS-7500R/R2, and DCS-7020R MPLS pop is configurable at the tap port
using the switchport
command:
switch(config-if-Et1)# [no] switchport tap mpls pop all - On DCS-7280R3, DCS-7500R3, and DCS7800R3 MPLS pop is configurable at the tool port
using the switchport command. As the commands suggest, all MPLS labels will be
popped.
switch(config-if-Et1)# [no] switchport tool mpls pop all - On DCS-7280R3, DCS-7500R3, and DCS7800R3 the hardware forwarding profile must also be
set before MPLS pop can be used. This is done globally by the
command:
switch(config)# hardware forwarding system profile system-profile-tap-aggregation - The system profile can also be overridden on a per line card basis with the
command:
switch(config)# hardware forwarding module Linecard3 profile system-profile-tap-aggregation
Limitations
R/R2 series MPLS pop has the following limitations:
- New L2 Header on Egress
- Always inserts a tap port Identity VLAN ID, even if not configured. Default Identity VID is 1.
- Destination / source MAC addresses are not configurable.
- Tool Port / Egress VLAN Filtering
- Because the incoming L2 header is discarded, the tool port does not have access to the original VLAN ID.
- Tap ports can still filter on VLAN ID.
- ACL-Based Tap Aggregation
- Matching IP headers contained inside an MPLS header is only supported since eos-4.20.5F.
On both R/R2 series and R3 series some Tap Aggregation features do not work when forwarding MPLS-encapsulated traffic:
- Non-IP over MPLS
-
If the incoming L3 header is not recognized as IPv4 or IPv6 the MPLS pop feature is bypassed and the packet is not stripped.

TAP Aggregation 802.1br EVN Tag Stripping
Configuring 802.1br-E/VN Tag Stripping
By default, Arista switches do not strip BR-E/VN tags from ingress packets.
- To enable BR E-Tag stripping add the following
configuration:
switch(config)# tap aggregation switch(config-tap-agg)# [no] encapsulation dot1br strip - To enable VN-TAG stripping add the following
configuration:
switch(config)# tap aggregation switch(config-tap-agg)# [no] encapsulation vn-tag strip
On DCS-7280R3, DCS-7500R3and DCS7800R3, BR-E/VN tag stripping is configured at the tool port level. When enabled on a tool port, only packets egressing this tool port will have their BR-E/VN tags stripped. The BR-E/VN tag stripping allows a choice of stripping both or either of the tags.
- To activate BR E-Tag stripping on a tool port, add the following
configuration:
switch(config-if-Et1)# [no] switchport tool encapsulation dot1br strip - To activate VN-TAG stripping on a tool port, add the following

Feature Interactions
On DCS-7280R/R2, DCS-7500R/R2, and DCS-7020R the following Tap aggregation features are supported with BR-E/VN tagged packets when tag stripping is enabled. Some or all of these features may not work for BR-E/VN tagged packets when tag stripping is not configured.
- MAC, IPv4, IPv6 Traffic Steering
- Tap identity tagging
- MPLS Termination
- Ingress VLAN Membership Filtering
- Egress VLAN Membership Filtering
On DCS-7280R3, DCS-7500R3, and DCS7800R3 the following Tap aggregation features are supported with BR-E/VN tagged packets when tag stripping is enabled.
- MAC, IPv4, IPv6 Traffic Steering
- Tap identity tagging
Limitations
The following lists feature limitations on DCS-7280R/R2, DCS-7500R/R2, and DCS-7020R when BR-E/VN tag stripping is enabled with tagged packets:
- IPv4/IPv6 traffic steering on VLAN IDs is not supported.
- IPv6 traffic steering is not supported on packets with two or more accompanying 802.1Q tags
- Ingress VLAN membership filtering is scale limited. Only 4096 entries, used for whitelisting or allowing specific port-VLAN pairs, are supported. The default case of allowing all VLANs does not consume any of these entries. For example, a tap interface configured to allow 4093 VLANs will consume all but three entries.
- Ingress VLAN membership filtering on Tap interface LAGs for BR-E/VN tagged packets is not supported. To use Ingress VLAN membership for BR-E/VN tagged packets on a LAG Tap interface the Ingress VLAN membership configuration must be configured on each physical interface of the LAG.
- Time stamping and BR-E/VN tag stripping cannot be configured on the same tool interfaces. Time stamping, if configured, will take precedence over BR-E/VN tag stripping.
- 802.1Q Tag Stripping does not support BR-E/VN tagged packets.
The following lists feature limitations on DCS-7280R3, DCS-7500R3, and DCS7800R3 when BR-E/VN tag stripping is enabled with tagged packets:
- IPv4/IPv6/MAC traffic steering on VLAN IDs is not supported.
- MPLS pop and BR-E/VN tag stripping can not be used simultaneously on a tool port. If MPLS pop and BR-E/VN tag stripping are both configured on the same tool port, MPLS pop will take precedence and BR-E/VN tags will not be stripped.
- Ingress and Egress VLAN Membership filtering of BR-E/VN tagged packets is not supported in eos-4.25.2F.
- 802.1Q Tag Stripping does not support BR-E/VN tagged packets.

Display commands EXEC Mode
class (policy-map (tapagg))
The class (policy-map (tapagg)) command places the switch in the policy-map-class (TAPagg) configuration mode, which is a group-change mode that defines a TAP aggregation class by associating the class’s eponymous class-map to a set statement. Upon exiting the policy-map-class mode, the class is placed in the policy-map as specified by an assigned sequence number.
- The class map identifies a data stream by using an ordered list of ACLs. Class maps are configured in class-map (tapagg) configuration mode. Data packets are managed by commands of the highest priority class or rule that matches the packet.
- set commands specify the replication method of filtered data packets, either through an associated aggregation group or identity VLAN tagging.
- Sequence numbers specify the class’s priority within the policy map. Lower sequence numbers denote higher priority.
The exit command returns the switch to policy-map configuration mode. However, saving policymap-class changes also requires an exit from policy-map mode. This saves all pending policy map and policy-map-class changes to running-config and returns the switch to global configuration mode. The abort command discards pending changes and returns the switch to global configuration mode.
The no class and default class commands remove the class assignment from the configuration mode policy map by deleting the corresponding class configuration from running-config.
Command Mode
Policy-Map (tapagg) configuration accessed through class (policy-map (tapagg))
Command Syntax

- SEQ_NUM priority of the class within the policy map. Lower numbers denote higher priority.
- no parameter number is derived by adding 10 to number of the map’s last class or rule.
- 1 to 4294967295 number assigned to class.
- class_name name of the class.
Guidelines
When a class is not associated with a set (policy-map-class (tapagg)) command, the filtered traffic is managed as specified by the TAP port’s default aggregation group.
- set (policy-map-class (tapagg)) assigns VLAN identity tag or tap aggregation group to class.
- exit returns the switch to parent policy map configuration mode.
- abort discards pending class map changes, then returns the switch to global configuration mode.
- class (policy-map (tapagg)) places the switch in the policy-map (tapagg) configuration mode.
- match (policy-map (tapagg)) assigns a match rule to a TAP aggregation policy map.
- These commands place the switch in policy-map-class and add the
t-class_1 class map to the
tpolicy_1 policy map. Packets filtered by the
class map are identity tagged with VLAN
444.

class-map type tapagg
The class-map type tapagg command places the switch in class-map (tapagg) configuration mode, which is a group change mode that modifies a tapagg class map. A tapagg class map is a data structure that uses Access Control Lists (ACLs) to define a data stream by specifying characteristics of data packets that comprise the stream. Tapagg policy maps use class maps to specify traffic that is managed by policy map criteria.
The exit command saves pending class map changes to running-config, then returns the switch to the global configuration mode. Class map changes are also saved by entering a different configuration mode. The abort command discards pending changes and returns the switch to global configuration mode.
The no class-map type tapagg and default class-map type tapagg commands delete the specified class map by removing the corresponding class-map type qos command and its associated configuration.

mac timestamp
The mac timestamp command enables timestamping on the configuration mode interface.
When timestamping is enabled on an egress interface, packets leave the interface with timestamps that were applied in hardware upon arriving at the switch. This is facilitated by applying a hardware timestamp to all frames arriving on all interfaces when timestamping is enabled on any interface, then removing timestamps on packets egressing interfaces where timestamping is not enabled.
The switch supports two timestamp modes, which differ in managing the egress frame’s 32-bit Frame Check Sequence (FCS):
- before-fcs: the switch discards the original FCS, appends the ingress timestamp at the end of the frame data, recalculates a new FCS based on the appended timestamp, then appends the new FCS to the end of the frame. This creates a valid ethernet frame but does not update headers of any nested protocols.
- replace-fcs: the switch replaces the original FCS with the timestamp. This mode maintains the size of the original frame without any latency impact, but the FCS is not valid.
The no mac timestamp and default mac timestamp commands restore the default behavior of disabling timestamping on the configuration mode interface by removing the corresponding mac timestamp command from running-config.
Command Mode
Interface-ethernet configuration
Command Syntax
mac timestamp TS_PROPERTY
Parameters
- TS_PROPERTY specifies the timestamp
insertion mode. Options include:
- before-fcs the ingress timestamp is appended to the frame and the FCS is recalculated.
- replace-fcs the ingress timestamp replaces the original FCS.
Examples
- These commands enable timestamping in
before-fcs mode on interface

match (class-map (tapagg))
The match command adds an ACL to the configuration-mode class map and associates a sequence number to the ACL. A class map is an ordered list of ACLs that define a data stream; the sequence number specifies an ACL’s priority within the list. A class map is used by policy maps to filter data packets. Tapagg class maps utilize ACL permit rules to pass packets and deny rules to drop packets.
Class map (tapagg) configuration mode is a group change mode. Match statements are not saved to running-config until the edit session is completed by exiting the mode.
The no match and default match commands remove the specified match statement from the configuration-mode class map by deleting the corresponding match command from running-config.
Command Mode
Class-map (tagagg) configuration accessed through class-map type tapagg command.
Command Syntax
[SEQ_NUM] match ip access-group list_name
no SEQ_NUM] match ip access-group list_name
default SEQ_NUM] match ip access-group list_name
Parameters
- SEQ_NUM sequence number assigned to the
ACL. Options include:
- no parameter number is derived by adding 10 to the number of the map’s last ACL.
- 1 to 4294967295 number assigned to ACL.
- list_name name of ACL assigned to class map.
Guidelines
match statements accept IPv4 ACLs.

switch(config)# tap aggregation switch(config-tap-agg)# no mode switch(config-tap-agg)# show active switch(config-tap-agg)#
mode exclusive no-errdisable (tap-agg configuration mode)
The mode exclusive no-errdisable command configures the specified interface to remain enabled, regardless of its switchport mode, when TAP aggregation is enabled. This command is used primarily to configure a port to support PTP functions while the switch operates as a TAP aggregator.
Each command configures one ethernet or port-channel interface. Subsequent mode exclusive no-errdisable commands add to the list of ports that remain enabled when TAP aggregation is enabled.
The no mode exclusive no-errdisable and default mode exclusive no-errdisable commands configure the specified interface to be error-disabled when programmed in access, trunk, or dot1q-tunnel switching mode (when TAP aggregation is enabled) by removing the corresponding mode exclusive no-errdisable command from running-config.
Command Mode
TAP Aggregation configuration
Command Syntax
mode exclusive no-errdisable INT_NAME
Parameters
- ethernet e_num ethernet interface specified by e_num.
- port-channel p_num port-channel interface specified by p_num.
- tap aggregation places the switch in TAP-aggregation configuration mode.
- mode (tap-agg configuration mode) configures the switch’s TAP-aggregation mode.
Guidelines
In order for a TAP-aggregation switch to receive PTP traffic, the upstream device to which it is connected should be set to statically send PTP multicast traffic to the connected port on the switch.
Since IGMP snooping is disabled on TAP-aggregation switches and with no configuration to support sending upstream join messages in such a state, the messages are transmitted statically from the upstream device. Once the upstream messages are received, the port will move to the slave state and follow the standard PTP mechanism.
Example
switch(config)# tap aggregation
switch(config-tap-agg)# mode exclusive
switch(config-tap-agg)# mode exclusive no-errdisable ethernet 21/4
switch(config-tap-agg)#platform fm6000 keyframe
The platform fm6000 keyframe command enables keyframe generation for data streams transmitted from specified ethernet interfaces. Keyframes are routable IP packets that the switch inserts into a data stream to provide contextual information that correlate timestamps inserted into data packets with absolute UTC time and the switch’s complete ASIC time counter.
The switch supports a maximum of ten keyframes. The keyframe name is the label that distinguishes different keyframes. Each keyframe can egress from every ethernet port. Command options specify the destination MAC address and IP address in the keyframe’s header. Other keyframe commands specify the transmission rate and the frame’s source.
The no platform fm6000 keyframe and default platform fm6000 keyframe commands disable generation of the specified keyframe by deleting the corresponding platform fm6000 keyframe command from running-config. These command also remove all supporting platform fm6000 keyframe commands for the specified keyframe.
Command Mode
Global configuration
Command Syntax
platform fm6000 keyframe kf_name interface ethernet e_range ipv4_addr mac_addr

- e_range ethernet interface range over which the keyframe egresses. Valid formats include number, range, or comma-delimited list of numbers and ranges.
- ipv4_addr destination IPv4 address inserted into keyframes (dotted decimal notation).
- mac_addr destination MAC address inserted into keyframes (48-bit dotted hex notation).
Guidelines
Subsequent issuance of this command for a specified keyframe replaces the existing command in running-config. ethernet interfaces are inserted into an existing keyframe only by issuing the complete command that identifies all interfaces through which the keyframe is transmitted.
Example
switch(config)# platform fm6000 keyframe key-1 interface ethernet 11-15 10.21.1.4 10.4E21.9F11
switch(config)#platform fm6000 keyframe device
The platform fm6000 keyframe device command configures the 16-bit number that the specified keyframe lists as the device ID in its payload. By default, the device value placed in the specified keyframes is 0.
The no platform fm6000 keyframe device and default platform fm6000 keyframe device commands restore the default device ID insertion value of 0 for the specified keyframe by removing the corresponding platform fm6000 keyframe device command from running-config. The no platform fm6000 keyframe and default platform fm6000 keyframe command also removes the corresponding platform fm6000 keyframe device command from running-config.

switch(config)#policy-map type tapagg
The policy-map type tapagg command places the switch in policy-map (tapagg) configuration mode, which is a group-change mode that modifies a TAP-aggregation policy map. A TAP-aggregation policy map is a data structure that consists of class maps and match statements that filter a specific data stream. Packets in that data stream are either managed as specified by a TAP aggregation group or modified to add a VLAN identity tag. Policy maps manage traffic when applied to an ethernet or port-channel interface.
The exit command saves pending policy map changes to running-config and returns the switch to global configuration mode. Policy map changes are also saved by entering a different configuration mode. The abort command discards pending changes, returning the switch to global configuration mode.
The no policy-map type tapagg and default policy-map type tapagg commands delete the specified policy map by removing the corresponding policy-map type tapagg command and the associated policy map statements from running-config.

switch(config-pmap-t-policy_1)#service-policy type tapagg (Interface mode)
The service-policy type tapagg command applies a specified TAP-aggregation policy map to the configuration-mode interface. A policy map is a data structure that identifies data traffic through class maps and match rules, then specifies the method of replicating the traffic. This command is active only when TAP aggregation mode is enabled on the switch.
The no service-policy type tapagg and default service-policy type tapagg commands remove the policy map assignment from the configuration mode interface by deleting the corresponding service-policy tapagg command from running-config.
Command Mode
Interface-ethernet configuration
Interface-Port-Channel configuration
Command Syntax
service-policy type tapagg input policymap_name
- input policy map applies to inbound packet streams. This is the only option.
- map_name name of policy map.
Guidelines
A policy map that is attached to a port-channel interface takes precedence for member interfaces of the port channel over their individual ethernet interface configuration. Members that are removed from a port channel revert to the policy-map implementation specified by its ethernet interface configuration.

tap aggregation
The tap aggregation command places the switch in TAP-aggregation configuration mode. The switch’s TAP aggregation mode is enabled or disabled by the mode command in TAP-aggregation configuration mode.
When TAP aggregation mode is enabled, normal switching and routing operations are disabled. A port’s switchport status depends on the switch’s TAP aggregation mode and the port’s switchport mode:
- TAP aggregation mode enabled: TAP and tool ports are enabled. Switching ports are errdisabled.
- TAP aggregation mode disabled: TAP and tool ports are errdisabled. Switching ports are enabled.
The no tap aggregation and default tap aggregation commands disable tap aggregation mode on the switch by removing all TAP-aggregation configuration mode commands from running-config.
TAP-aggregation configuration mode is not a group-change mode; running-config is changed immediately upon entering commands. Exiting TAP-aggregation configuration mode does not affect running-config. The exit command returns the switch to global configuration mode.
