• Between Disabling ICMP port running on the same vSwitch group

  Hello

  I'm new to vShield. I added a rule of application vShield to disable the ICMP to the Group of two ports on the same switch running but it does not work. Is it possible or I have to try another way to do the same.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You can use strategy ICMP with this group of two ports so can you share newspapers?

• PowerConnect 7048 Port Mirroring

  Hello everyone,

  I'm trying to mirror two ports on my 7048 Powerconnect switch. One of them is a Trunk Port, and the other is just a port not marked. I don't see any incoming traffic on port of destination. Is it possible a bug in the Web management interface, which does not apply this correctly?

  Current firmware 4.2.2.3

  Thank you

  David

  We can try to activate the admin mode. I couldn't find the command to do this, but in the GUI there is a drop down under the switch > ports > traffic mirror > port mirroring. Allowing and see if the behavior changes.

  I am also curious to see of any change in behavior after an update of the firmware.

  Thank you

• VM adds a Port Mirroring Session

  I need each VM added to a file given in the vCenter to be added to an existing distributed switch port mirroring session.  Is this possible with PowerCLI?

  The following will add the virtual machine ($vmName) to a port specific, mirror of the session ($mirrorSessionName) on a distributed switch ($dvSwName).

  You can define the directions of traffic for which the virtual machine must be added with the $Ingress and $Egress variables.

  Note that it is not an error checking in the script.

  For example if the mirror session does not exist, the script fails without information messages.

  Yet once this script for all the virtual machines in a specific folder should not be too difficult, I guess?

  $dvSwName = "dvSw1".

  $mirrorSessionName = 'test '.

  $vmName = "VM2.

  $Ingress = $false

  $Egress = $true

  $dvSw = get-VDSwitch-name $dvSwName

  $vm = get-VM-name $vmName

  $vmNic = $vm. ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device |

  where {$_.} Backup - is [VMware.Vim.VirtualEthernetCardDistributedVirtualPortBackingInfo]}

  $spec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VMwareDVSConfigSpec

  {foreach ($mirrorSession to $dvSw.ExtensionData.Config.VspanSession)}

  If ($mirrorSession.Name - eq $mirrorSessionName) {}

  $vspan = new-Object VMware.Vim.VMwareDVSVspanConfigSpec

  $vspan. Operation = [VMware.Vim.ConfigSpecOperation]: edit

  $vmInRc = $mirrorSession.SourcePortReceived | where {$_.} {Portkey-contains $vmNic.Backing.Port.PortKey}

  If ($Ingress - and! $vmInRc) {}

  $mirrorSession.SourcePortReceived.PortKey += $vmNic.Backing.Port.PortKey

  }

  $vmInTx = $mirrorSession.SourcePortTRansmitted | where {$_.} {Portkey-contains $vmNic.Backing.Port.PortKey}

  If ($Egress - and! $vmInTx) {}

  $mirrorSession.SourcePortTransmitted.PortKey += $vmNic.Backing.Port.PortKey

  }

  $vspan.vspanSession = $mirrorSession

  $spec.vspanConfigSpec += $vspan

  }

  }

  $spec. ConfigVersion = $dvSw.ExtensionData.Config.ConfigVersion

  $dvSw.ExtensionData.ReconfigureDvs ($spec)

• Migration of the existing groups of port DVS vSwitch

  Hey guys,.

  I am looking for a good article, but so far I don't have if existing port a groups with std vSwitch ESXi can I migrate to a newly created DVS.
  I saw VMs, Assistant network management, but it seems that I have to create all the groups before port.

  Is this really the case? as I have 70 groups of ports and I don't want to do the job manually.

  Any suggestion?

  Thanks in advance

  Evening,

  This process can be script but yes destination port groups must be created first.   I suggest to use the Onyx project to get the commands in powershell to create groups of ports.  Personally, I have 700 groups of ports and I understand your pain.   Onyx will allow you the creation of a port group unique in powershell then all you need to change is the name and vlan id.   If you have the standard naming, you should be ok...

  Let me know if you have any additional questions or I missed your question.

  Thank you

• Mirror of ports

  Hello

  I can set ports option mirror with Vsphere Client 5.1,

  I have not yet installed Vcenter

  Thank you

  Fear not, you must use a distributed virtual switch, which is possible with vCenter.

• Group creation ESXi 4 port with respect to the host only vSwitch

  Hi all

  ESX experts out there confirm what the 'group of ports' process is for the creation and how it relates exactly to host only vSwitch?

  I have created a vSwitch1 as host only with no attached NIC (as by the other topic, I found) I want to clone and initialize some test of hot P2V but they don't have any real network connections.

  I use vSphere to do this, and I'm new to ESX...

  You will still need to create a virtual machine on the new vSwitch port group, but if the vSwitch has no physical NIC are attributed to him, then the traffic on this vSwitch will be isolated.

• A group of link aggregated traffic mirroring

  Hello. I would like to mirror traffic entry and exit of a group of aggregation of link on my Dell PowerConnect 7024. By looking at the http under switching configuration page > Ports > traffic Mirroring > Port Mirroring > add, it doesn't seem to be an option for traffic a single port and not a link aggregated mirror group.

  Can someone help me to check if this is doable? If so, how?

  Your results are correct. Associate connection ports are not able to participate in the port mirroring.

• Ports VMK for nfs group

  Create a new port of vmk on a vSwitch, add it to a group of specific ports and enable vMotion. If a group of ports corresponding to the specified name does not exist then it is created.

  1	New-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost <host> -PortGroup <PG Name> -VirtualSwitch <vswitch> -IP <IP> -SubnetMask <Mask> -VMotionEnabled:$true -Confirm:$false

  You can enable or disable a vmk for traffic management, vMotion or fault tolerance. All are disabled by default and each of them can be activated when the vmk is created, similar to how vMotion has been enabled in the above example. To disable just change $true to $false.

  1 2 3

  Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost <host> -name <vmk> | Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter -ManagementTrafficEnabled:$true -confirm:$false Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost <host> -name <vmk> | Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter -FaultToleranceLoggingEnabled:$true -confirm:$false Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost <host> -name <vmk> | Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMotionEnabled:$true -confirm:$false

  Change the IP address of a vmk

  1	Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost <host> -name <vmk> | Set-VMHostNetworkAdapter -IP <ip> -confirm:$false

  And delete a vmk

  1	Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost <host> -name <vmk> | Remove-VMHostNetworkAdapter -confirm:$false

  I am creating above

  Nowhere I'm option specify the vlan... IE no mgmt ft/no vmtion/no on the vmk also in my case, that nothing will be

  Please suggest

  When you have the portgroupname, you can use the Set-VirtualPortgroup cmdlet to create/modify the VlanID.

• ports access the trunk ports - no (or minimal) downtime

  Take even for someone and not an expert, so forgive me if it's pretty simple.  I did a lot of research and that you have yet to see a response.

  There are 4 hosts in a cluster - Nutanix - are NETWORK adapter, all in 1 GB ports in a single switch for a subnet (let's call him. 128/25) currently configured as access ports - no VLAN ID is set to the vm network ports and we use standard vswitches.  The port group is called "VM Network".

  I have 8 new ports on two physical switches now configured with sheath with VLAN ID and 4 VLAN that will be needed in this cluster - where the change.  One of the seront.128/25 subnets I noted above.

  If I leave a host, move cables and configure the port groups for each of the 4 subnets calling prod1 thanks prod4, once the host starts the marking of the packages I will able to vmotion for the new configuration, host of one of the other three?

  Thank you

  Mike

  

  Since you can't computers vMotion virtual from one host to another if the port group name is different, my recommendation is:

  1 evacuate VMs to host you want to create new groups of port with tagging VLAN;

  2. create new groups of port with the appropriate names and VLAN.

  3. on the host without tagging VLANS, create groups of ports but without VLAN.

  4. change the network interface virtual VM on the new appropriate port group;

  5. the virtual machines to the new host of vMotion.

• FT and vmotion on the same vswitch

  I wonder if the following scenario would work:

  1 vswitch with vmotion/management/FT ports. 2 physical network adapters: vmnic1 and vmnic0

  For the port FT overide the position of switches and him tell us to use vmnic0 as main and vmnic1 as before.

  For vmotion and management ports, we would use replace vswitch settings and tell it to use vmnic1 as main and vmnic0 as before.

  Certainly, if we lose a nic, that's potentially a lot of traffic, but we do a lot of vmotions, even with the DRS in fully automatic mode, it is especially when we do our patch.

  This should make FT use a network card and vmotion good? Anyone who sees no real problem with that?

  take a good look and we have implemented many of these...

• Attempt vSwitch configuration change and now the ESXi host and virtual machines offline

  So I have no doubt, I have myself to blame for this one. I was trying to change my vSwitch from 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps when an 'operation timed' error out jumps-to the top and my vCenter Server lost connection with my ESXi host. I tried to restart the host manually, but that did not help. The host is not the ping requests and all the virtual machines on that host are offline; None of them vMotion off to my other ESX Server.

  I tried to reconnect the host computer in vCenter, but it is obviously does not connect because it can't ping it. I logged the ESXi console and all the network settings appear to be correct. I'm used to connect to the ESX console where you can execute commands, but it's my first ESXi host, so I don't know what I can do.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  -D.

  If you had your management port and VMs on different vSwitches / NIC leave on framework would eliminate a false positive. As in your case the management port reportedly follows the cable / about speed, but the virtual machine network would be intact (and I'm assuming that your storage space as well).  In this case the VMs system would have worked very well even if the management port did not work.

• Network 4 Ethernet Ports on my ESXi 4.1

  I have a 2 port NIC GB and 2 GB internal on my server network interface cards. All are connected to my eternal switch/GB.

  I'm looking for ideas on how to better use these ports.

  Looking for vSwitches how should I do, number of vMKernel ports, should I "Group of NETWORK cards", etc...

  Any comment is appreciated.

  Honestly, if you don't do any type of SAN traffic, and you don't need them on a separate subnet I would just connect all 4 ports of a switch and the console.  I don't think you'll see all the problems in this way.  I'll tell you that I do not have issues with 2 ports for network with about 15 virtual machines.

• Network monitoring tools

  What are the standard tools that I should have for network traffic monitoring in vSphere that can use port-mirror inside a vswitch to analyze traffic?  Which providers currently offer these and how do they compare?

  Hello

  I think that this question boils down to the requirements and $s you want to spend. The key is to determine what you need to do first. There are several tools that make sense to use, but not knowing your full requirements, your existing incident response times, it is difficult to recommend a solution. You need to just Splunk or you may have something of the order of RSA Security Analytics. Or you can go to tools of active response.

  My recommendation is that you take the time to attend RSA Conference (www.rsaconference.com) in April and look around, talking to vendors, etc. There are a multitude of solutions that may work for you. But first go with your needs (regulation + companies).

• The ACP prevention policy and intrusion

  Hi all

  What happened to apply a strategy of access control with some rules and some Intrusion prevention policy in an architecture where the ips is deployed in passive mode with a mirror port?

  Is it advisable?

  Thanks in advance

  Lore

  Hi Lore,

  Deployment of the IPS in passive mode is quite common, but it has its own deployment limits (see below).

  Usually, in a deployment passive IPS, firepower system monitors traffic circulating on a network using a switch, SPAN or mirror port. The SPAN port or mirror allows for traffic to be copied to other ports of the switch. This provides the visibility of the system within the network without being in the flow of network traffic.

  Please keep in mind, when it is configured in a passive deployment, the system cannot take certain actions such as blocking or traffic shaping. Passive interfaces receive all traffic without condition, and no traffic received on these interfaces is broadcast.

  Some other info and configuration:
