vspanSession
Required
The VMwareVspanSession data object defines the configuration of a VLAN Services and Protocols for Advanced Networks (VSPAN) session.
You use a VSPAN session for the following operations:
- To mirror network traffic (inbound/outbound) from a set of source entities to a set of destination entities.
- To assist in troubleshooting.
- As input for security and other network analysis appliances.
The type of entities that you can specify as source or destination is determined by the session type. You can use uplink distributed virtual ports only for mixed destination mirror VSPAN sessions (mixedDestMirror). For all sessions except mixedDestMirror sessions, you cannot use uplink distributed virtual ports as destination ports. sessionType is required for vSphere Distributed Switch 5.1 and later, ignored for prior version if set.
| Session Type | Source | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| mixedDestMirror | Distributed Ports | Distributed Ports + Uplink Ports Name |
| dvPortMirror | Distributed Ports | Distributed Ports |
| remoteMirrorSource | Distributed Ports | Uplink Ports Name |
| remoteMirrorDest | VLAN | Distributed Ports |
| encapRemoteMirrorSource | Distributed Ports | IP address |
