Netflow configuration (VMware Distributed Switches):

For each selected distributed switch

  • Set the Netflow collector IP address to the selected sensor

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

  • Set Netflow to enabled for the uplink port groups in the switch

Sensor Deployment

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

  • For each selected ESX host:

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

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

    • For each VMware standard switch on the host

      • 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.

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

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

    • Register the sensor with the Faddom server
