This requires the VMware Enterprise Plus license and a configured vSphere Distributed Switch.

From the VMware web console:

1. Select the VDS from the list of networks.

2. Select Port mirroring on the Configure tab.

3. Select New… to create a new session.

   

4. Select Encapsulated Remote Mirroring (L3) Source, and then click Next.

   

5. Give the new session a name and set the status to Enabled, and then click Next.

   

6. Add the ports intended to mirror to the probe, and then click Next.

   

7. Add the IP given to the monitor interface of the probe as the destination of the session (not the Plixer FlowPro management IP), and then click Next.

   

8. Verify the configuration, and then click Finish to start the session.
