DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) vCenter integration supports mirroring from vCenter hosts using the default TCP/IP stack. However, this can result in traffic drops and affect production traffic since mirror traffic can conflict with production traffic. DMF vCenter integration with Mirror Stack provides the functionality to use the mirror TCP/IP stack for mirror sessions. Mirror stack in the ESXi host allows decoupling the traffic and keeps the production traffic unaffected.

This feature supports Link Aggregation Group (LAG) use in the tunnel endpoint configuration.

This document describes the usage of wildcard tunnels for VMware vCenter monitoring. The current implementation of VMware vCenter creates one tunnel interface from every ESXi host to DMF.
