  4. After successfully adding cVus, an overview of cVu devices connected to the cClear is displayed. Display of the serial number and version for the cPacket device indicates that the device has been added to the cClear configuration. An indicator gives the connection status of each cVu device. From this page, it is also possible to modify and remove cVu devices. Adding a new cVu device automatically configures cVu metadata push parameters to operate with cClear. These parameters include cClear device name, cClear hostname, and UDP push parameters.

    By default, cClear continuously collects port counters from connected cVu devices. To disable automatic collection for a cVu, turn off the Metrics toggle.

Once devices are added, time synchronization status across devices is confirmed and can be managed by cClear.
