Configure the dvPort Group
YoumustconfigurethevNetworkDistributedSwitchportstoworkinpromiscuousmodesothatthe
AppSpeedprobecanmonitortheswitch.
To configure the dvPort group
1InthevSphereClientorVIClient,selectHome>Networking.
2Right‐clickthecorrespondingportgroupinthevNetworkDistributedSwitchandselectEditSettings.
3 SelectSecurity.

Configure the AppSpeed Probe to Monitor vNetwork Distributed Switches
Oncetheprobeisdeployedandsetup(asdescribedin“DeployingtheAppSpeedProbes”onpage13),you
canconfiguretheAppSpeedprobetomonitorthedistributedvSwitches.
To configure a probe to monitor a vNetwork distributed switch
1InthevSphereClientorVIClient,selectHome>HostsandClusters.
2Right‐clickthecorrespondingprobevirtualmachineandselect

Configuring AppSpeed to Monitor Cisco Nexus 1000V Switches
IfonlyNexus1000VswitchesareconfiguredinthevCenterorifallothervSwitchesarealreadybeing
monitoredbyotherprobes,youneedtocreateanewvSwitchbeforeyoudeploytheprobe.
Configure Port Mirroring
YoumustconfigureportmirroringontheCiscoNexus1000VvSwitchportssothattheAppSpeedprobecan
monitoraNexus1000VvSwitch.
To configure port mirroring
1Settheserverportsthatyouwanttomonitorasthesourceports.
2Setanunusedportasthedestinationport.
3Enableportmirroringontheswitch.
