Configure ERSPAN with VMware
The Encapsulated Remote Switched Port Analyzer (ERSPAN) enables you to monitor traffic on multiple network interfaces or VLANs and then send the monitored traffic to one or more destinations. We support the VMware Encapsulated Remote Mirroring Source packet mirror feature, an ERSPAN-like capability.
The following procedures explain how to configure an interface on the ExtraHop system to receive ERSPAN traffic and how to configure the VMware server with the vSphere Web Client.
For more information about configuring networking on the ExtraHop system, see the ExtraHop Admin UI Guide.
For more information about configuring the VMware vSphere server, see the Working with Port Mirroring section in the ESXi and vCenter Server 6.0 Documentation.
