The Allegro can analyze multiple links which are aggregated to a large capacity network trunk with LACP or similar. In this case, you can mirror the whole trunk, Tap it or install the Allegro inline. Since all packets belong to one link, you do not need to set up a Virtual Link Group. If you connect other links to the Allegro, set up a link group with all interfaces for this trunk on the Allegro.

You can use a packet broker to aggregate many links and forward the traffic on one or multiple interfaces to the Allegro. By this method, you can monitor many low-volume links to one interface, like 64x 1G to 1x 10G or 40G.

To distinguish the links please configure the packet broker to add a separate VLAN label per link. Then configure this VLAN on the Allegro as a Virtual Link Group.
