Hello all,
Hopefully a quick one:
I am building a server that will be acting as network monitor running IPAudit. I built a Debian box (amd64) with vmware tools and e1000 NICs and set up IPAudit, but was not able to get promiscuous mode to work. I read some vmware KB's, which suggested changing rights for /dev/vmnet for relevant users, however, I do not even have that file and so I decided to try with VMXNET 3 NICs instead.
However, even though I have vmware tools installed, I cannot add a vmxnet3 nic - the only option in add nic dialogue is e1000.
Googling didn't seem to produce much, so I was wondering if anyone has any idea how I can either get promiscuous mode to work, or add the vmxnet3 adapter to my server?
For promiscuous mode, I created a separate portgroup, with promiscuous mode allowed and vlan tag of 4095.
Many Thanks!
S.
