The Challenge: You are migrating to a new data center. This means the tap (Gigamon) would be moved before the TIM.
Q. What does this mean for the TIM?
A. The TIM will no longer be able to perform its role as a sniffer and capture customer transactions. This means no Introscope metrics/reports. No CEM Reports, and statistics.
Q. What are some good references to read on setting up TIM and network data?

Q. How do I filter traffic on a TIM?
