Distributed Virtual Switch

Virtual switch : is a software switch on a virtual environment.
Examples :
  • VMWare vCenter 5.0 has this support to configure port mirroring / SPAN
    • A greatest limitation to this is when port mirroring is set to work with the virtual machine ports and when this VM move / VMotion, port mirroring session is lost.
  • CISCO Nexus 1000v does have support to similar to above VMWare solution . SPAN and RSPAN (for remote SPAN) .
