Netflow configuration (Distributed Switches):

For each selected distributed switch

  1. Set the Netflow collector IP address to the selected sensor

  2. Set Netflow to enabled for each of the port groups in the switch

  3. Set Netflow to enabled for the uplink port groups in the switch

Sensor Deployment (Standard Switches)


Create a content library in vCenter named faddom-discover and upload an OVF template to that library. The datastore in which the library is created is selected on the sensor
deployment page


โ€‹For each selected ESX host:

  1. Deploy the OVF template containing the sensor appliance from the content library to the host

  2. Disable DRS for the sensor VM to prevent the sensor from moving to a different host (Configured under Cluster->Configuration->VM Overrides)

  3. Create a port group named faddom-switchname replacing switchname with the name of the switch. The new port group will have promiscuous set to Accept and VLAN set to All.

  4. Connect the sensor VM to all the port groups that were created in the previous step

  5. Configure the sensor VM operating system with the network configuration settings provided in the deployment screen (ip address, gateway, etc.)

  6. Register the sensor with the Faddom server
