Points to Note (VMware vCenter)

1. These steps assume that VMware vCenter is installed and configured. Refer to VMware Documentation for configuration details.
2. Ensure the source Virtual Machine and the tool are connected to different Virtual Standard Switch. The traffic is looped, when the source Virtual Machine and the tool are connected in the same standard switch.
3. If NextGen Firewall (NGFW) with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is enabled to inspect your east-west traffic, expect an increase in latency due to mirrored traffic. To avoid increased latency, consider creating an exception rule for the tunneled traffic (mirrored traffic from the GigaVUE V Series Nodes to the tool) or configuring a private VDS that can bypass the NGFW rules for this traffic.
4. NSX Virtual Distributed Switch (N-VDS) based segments are not supported in VMware vCenter Monitoring Domain. N-VDS is supported only on NSX versions less or equal to 3.0. Refer to VMware Documentation for more detailed information.
