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)

  • SRW2048 port mirroring

    Hello

    Does anyone know the specs on port mirroring feature for Cisco SRW2048 48 - Port Gigabit Switch?

    I need to know:

    1.-y there a limit to the port mirroring sessions?

    2 - a target port can receive traffic from multiple ports?

    Hello Alejandro,

    This switch supports only 1 session - i.e. the 1 target mirror port. SRW and EMS/EMS switches can have up to 8 ports source while SLM switches can have up to 4 ports from source. In any case, there is only one target mirror port.

    Thank you

  • vDS Port Mirroring

    I am mirroring traffic of the virtual machine on a VDS.  It is mirrored traffic to physical server somewhere else in the data center.  As always, I also have a vmkernel port used for ESXi management traffic. When I create a Port of vDS session - that the interface of mirroring is the traffic opposite Let ESXi on?  The vmkernel port or virtual switch still port management ESXi virtual machine is on?  Port mirroring sessions send all data on the management port vmkernel at all?

    This means that the traffic in the opposite direction will leave the ESXi management vmkernel port?

    This seems to be the case and is the only way that seems logical. I mean that you have need of a few independent existing IP stack to carry the encapsulated traffic.

    It is also suggested by this article:

  • Port Mirroring a LAG on stacked Dell PowerConnect 6248 s

    Hello

    It is possible to port mirror use as a source, a SHIFT, consisting of 4 ports (2 in each Member of a set of 6248 s PowerConnect stacked). Whenever I'm trying to add the source, using GUI, I get an error:

    Error! There not together "Type" with "Tx and Rx" error occurred in FILTER_MISSING

    This allusion is what filter?

    I can't select a spring, unit 1 or unit 2, members of the LAG, like the gui only shows them not from the ports drop.

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, the switch is able to mirror individual ports as source ports. You can check this by trials of establishing a mirror session where the source port is not part of a LAG.

  • Distributed Port Mirroring on hosts in same vDS

    Hello:

    I have two hosts (esx01 and esx02) 5.5 ESXi running connected to the same vDS 5.1.  I have no problem passing traffic between virtual machines that are on different hosts and in the same port group, so I know the vDS does what it is supposed to.  Each host has 8 vmnic and vDS 8 links rising, all set to active.

    However, when I install a port mirroring distributed on the vDS and choose a source port and the destination port, I get only the traffic on port of destination if the ports are on the same host.  If the source and destination are on different hosts, no mirror traffic is received.

    Sort of, I worked around it by using the following https://everythingshouldbevirtual.com/vmware-vds-rspan-port-mirroring, however, that ends up giving me lots of duplicated packets when I attach to a single connection (probably the switch is to see the input/output traffic on the two vmnic of in the binding rising vDS?)  For each package, I see 8 duplicates.

    But it seems to me that it should "work" without having to do anything to miss.  I also tried to look: vSphere 5.1 - VDS - Port Mirroring feature enhancements - part 3 | VMware vSphere Blog - Articles VMware., but with that it seems that are filled with separate vDS, which in this case an RSPAN makes sense to switch to pass traffic.  But in my case, it's a simple switch that is sitting between two hosts connected to the same vDS.

    Thoughts or directions to guide me to the answer would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello jmapt,

    Please note the following:

    Page 152:

    Distributed Port Mirroring:  Mirror of packages of a certain number of ports distributed to other ports on the same host. If the source and destination are on different hosts, this type of session does not work.

    And:

    vMotion compatibility:

    Port mirroring between ports distributed may be local. If the source and destination are on different hosts as a result of vMotion, mirroring between them will not work. However, if the source and destination are moving to the same host, port mirroring works.

    http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-55/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vSphere-ESXi-vCenter-Server-551-Networking-Guide.PDF

    Good vDS seems to essentially be a single switch is not. The control plan is unique and is driven by vCenter but the real data plan in at the host level, and each host has its own data plan for the vDS. So the underlying terms of data are they different switch running on different hosts.

  • Port Mirroring mit SRW2016

    Liebe Foren-user,

    ICH möchte like einen Port Switch SRW2016 "monitors" (second later mirror-Port). Dazu habe ich einen Rechner mit und tcpdump aufgesetzt, diesen a debian Port einen angeschlossen (den probe-Port). As soon as ich über das Web Interface Linksys-switches switch unter meines-> Port Mirroring den mirror-Port auf den spiegeln tired (both Directions) Port probe, ist tot practical der probe-Port. ICH kann vom Debian-Rechner aus nichts mehr pingen (auch nicht den Linksys Switch), er kriegt keinen release DCHP mehr und er ist auch nicht mehr aus dem Netzwerk reached normal. Konnte damit ich ja notfalls leben, however scheint überhaupt kein mehr auf dem probe-Port anzukommen traffic. Tcpdump shows mir keinen traffic one.

    Von your description wird nicht klar, wie das MIrroring exakt adjusted did.

    Der 'Source' Port is the Port the system want to play, wo der d.h. den "Original"-Verkehr drüber geht. "."

    Der 'Target' Port is the Port, auf die in den packages kopiert werden, d.h. sleeps schliesst tcpdump mit den of the computer one.

    Buyed is, dass die Netzwerkkarte am target Port both adjusted ist, dass sie alle frames akzeptiert. Frames usually werden ja alle, die nicht die loading MAC address verworfen haben.

    Also hat computer der über den Port target keine connection. Target akzeptiert keine der-Port frames. ER sendet nur die copies of the Source Ports. Das ist eine der SRWs Beschrankung banknotes.

  • 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?

    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

  • Port mirroring for the uplink of 10 GB of PowerConnect 6224

    I need to take a copy of the traffic over a 10G fiber link. The amount of traffic on this link is less than 1 Gbps.

    I am considering using the mirror port on a PowerConnect 6224 for this function. However, I don't know if port mirroring also works on the links to the top of the switch.

    Anyone know if a port 10G uplink on the 6224 can be mirrored on one of the 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports?

    I've been the mirror of able port of a fibre port with an Ethernet port, following the instructions on page 333 of the owner's manual.

    http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/network/PC62xx/en/UCG/ucg_en.PDF

    He took it and did not return any errors. But I see potential for some issues if the fiber port went above 1 Gbps.

    Keep us updated and let us know what are your conclusions.

    Thank you.

    Hi Jeff,

    The computer manufacturing must have created a partition on the disk or provided you CD to restore the computer to the way it was when you bought it. If you have a PC clone, then probably you need to reformat your hard drive and reinstall the operating system. If you have an OEM computer (example: HP, Dell, ETC) there is most likely instructions when you turn on/off press F11 or F12 to return the computer to the computer.

    Note: Do nothing until you have all of your backup data.

  • 8024F Port Mirroring not capture all traffic

    We have a router plugged into port Te1/0/21, that all our WAN traffic comes in our data center.  We have duplication of port configured to mirror Te1/0/22 of this port.

    control interface of destination session Te1/0/22 1
    control the source session interface 1 Te1/0/21

    We have a Sourcefire traffic monitoring device and when I do a tcpdump for this interface I see only ARP, STP and the interface of the switch http connections.

    We have mirrored on a N3024 that works very well for a different router.

    The 8024F is stacked with an another 8024F via ports 4 fibre first.  8 other ports on the 2 switches have fiber connections, then we have 7 fiber for rj45 connectors in each switch connect the CAT5e cable with other devices.  21-24 ports, we use the rj45 ports rather than the fiber on each switch port.

    The switch firmware is 4.2.2.3.

    Try adding this line to the config and see if it helps.

  • Firefox automatically adds the port number in the address bar when it is not.

    I work for an ISP company that implements regular routers for a customer locations. One of the things I need to change about it is to assign the management port 8080. For example, 192.168.0.1:8080. Once I try to install a new router that Firefox automatically assume I want to go to the same port 8080 and automatically concludes for me. Since the new router has not been configured with the 8080, yet I can't. So basically I would like to see if I can stop Firefox automatically enter this bit of information. It is very annoying and even more annoying that I have to use another browser to make changes since Firefox can not. I found a similar fix posted when Firefox will automatically ".www" but which did not fix my problem.

    Disable the URL bar auto-complete feature. You can always select an address already used by the arrows down on the drop-down list of AutoComplete, but Firefox won't add characters to the URL as you type. Here's how:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search box that appears above the list, type or paste the filling and make a break while the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the browser.urlbar.autoFill preference to change its value from true to false.
