Traffic visibility for NAtive VLAN

[andres_prieto_a]

Hi

I am configuring an appliance that requires to get a copy of the traffic on the vmware environment (from, to, in). I have ESXi 6.5 and configured the vDS Remote Mirroring Destination session with few VLANs and point it to the vNIC of the appliance (it's on a dedicated portgroup with promiscue mode on).

The problem i have is that most of the traffic it's on native VLAN and vDS doesn´t allow me to configure VLAN 0 to mirror.

I have tried to configure the dedicated porgroup that is in promiscouse mode on with native VLAN and even with VLAN trunk range 0-4094 and i can see traffic but not all of it

Anyone has other idea about i could get it?

     Does the vDS remote mirroring destination allow vLAN range or VLAN 4095?

Thanks in advanced

Regards

Hi

I have confirmed that there is no way to mirror traffic on Native VLAN at vDS level: not either VLAN 0 or VLAN 4095 or from 0-4094.

In order to capture traffic with out port mirror:

     vDS: vlan trunk from 0-4094 +  promiscous mode

     vS: VLAN ID 4095 +  promiscous mode
