Using PowerCLI To Configure vDS NetFlow Collector IP

[OsburnM]

Anyone know if possible to set the NetFlow collector IP/settings on a vDS with PowerCLI?  Running through the Get-vDSWitch stuff, I can see how to query erspans already configured but I don't see a place where I can set the Collector IP & related settings.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Not with the cmdlets, you'll have to revert to the API methods

As an example

$vdsName = 'MyVDS'

$vds = Get-VDSwitch -Name $vdsName

$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VMwareDVSConfigSpec

$spec.IpfixConfig = New-Object VMware.Vim.VMwareIpfixConfig

$spec.IpfixConfig.CollectorIpAddress = '192.168.1.1'

$spec.IpfixConfig.CollectorPort = 7777

$spec.IpfixConfig.ActiveFlowTimeout = 60

$spec.IpfixConfig.IdleFlowTimeout = 15

$spec.IpfixConfig.InternalFlowsOnly = $false

$spec.IpfixConfig.SamplingRate = 100

$spec.ConfigVersion = $vds.ExtensionData.Config.ConfigVersion

$vds.ExtensionData.ReconfigureDvs($spec)
