Chapter 4 Configuring AppSpeed with vNetwork Distributed Switching
Configure the AppSpeed Probe to Monitor Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch
Aftertheprobeisdeployedandsetup,youcanconfigureittomonitortheNexus1000Vswitches.
To configure the AppSpeed probe to monitor a distributed vSwitch

Create a Temporary vSwitch
Todeployaprobe,theremustbeatleastoneavailablevSwitchonthehostfortheprobetomonitor.Ifthehost
doesnothaveanyvSwitchesconfigured,orifallothervSwitchesarealreadybeingmonitoredbyotherprobes,
youmustfirstcreateanewtemporaryvSwitchbeforeyou
deploythenewprobe.
