Creating a Port Mirroring session to monitor trac
Port mirror conguration is done at the Distributed Switch level. A port mirror session is created by identifying the trac source that
needs to be monitored and the trac destination where the trac will be mirrored to. The trac source can be any port with ingress,
egress or all trac selected. The trac destination can be any virtual machine or vmknic. After a port mirror session is congured, the
Distributed Switch copies packets to the destination.
Perform the following steps to create a port mirroring session:
1. Log in to the vSphere Client and:
a) Click the Networking tab.
b) Click the Distributed Switch you want to congure. vsDSwitch1 is used in this example.
c) Click the
Congure tab and then click Port Mirroring.
