2.2.6. Capture interfaces: aggregation

2.2.6.1. Aggregation principle ("cluster")

For more information, please refer to the paragraph Capture and capture interfaces `monx` between TAP and GCap: aggregation possibility.

---

2.2.6.2. CLI commands

Displaying the current aggregation is achieved with the show interfaces command.

Configuring the aggregation is done with the set interfaces command.

---

2.2.6.3. Use case procedures

For the implementation, refer to Procedure to manage capture interface aggregation.

---

2.2.6.4. Configuring the aggregation

Aggregation creation is done via the GCap Command Prompt (CLI).

---

2.2.6.5. Impact on other functionalities

The functionality of aggregating capture interfaces on the GCap results in degrading the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit): the maximum size of a packet that can be transmitted at one time without fragmentation.

The MTU uses the largest value of the interfaces making up the aggregation.
