ASV General Settings

The user defines surveillance traffic on their network by creating a list of OUIs and MAC addresses. Any traffic on interfaces with the feature enabled whose source matches one of the OUIs or MAC addresses is considered surveillance traffic. Up to 32 sources for surveillance traffic can be defined in any combination of MAC and OUIs.

Configuring ASV

When activating the feature, the users must select an existing Static VLAN to be designated as the ASV VLAN. The user then sets the CoS for traffic in this VLAN and the aging time for the VLAN membership. Finally, the ASV feature should be activated on the interfaces expected to receive surveillance traffic.

To configure the ASV general settings, follow these steps.

Procedure

Step 1

Click VLAN Management > Auto-Surveillance VLAN > ASV General Settings.

Step 2

From the drop-down menu, select the Auto Surveillance-VLAN ID. This setting is used to select the ASV VLAN ID. If None is selected, the feature is disabled.

Step 3

Enter the CoS. This setting is used to select the Class of Service (CoS) applied to surveillance traffic on the ASV. The range is 0 - 7 and default is 5.

Step 4

For the Membership Aging Time, enter the Day(s), Hour(s) and Min(s), (Range: 1 min - 30 days: Default 1 day). This setting is used to configure the ASV membership aging time. If no surveillance traffic is received on an interface for this aging time, the interface is removed from the ASV.

Step 5

Click Add to add a surveillance traffic source and configure the following:

  • Source Type—Select from one of the following:

    • OUI Prefix

    • MAC Address

  • Source—Enter the source. The validation and hint for this field changes based on the selected Source Type. If the type is OUI Prefix, the value should be a 3 octets prefix of a unicast MAC address.

    If the type is MAC Address, the value should be a unicast MAC address and no hint should be displayed.

  • Description—Provide a description for the source

Step 6

Click Apply to save the settings.
