1000v Network Monitoring

A topic of it's own on the blueprint so I'm assuming this is worth a few points



SPAN
There are a ton  of caveats regarding SPAN and ERSPAN.  My plan is if I see any of these on the test, I will refer to the configuration guides.

The configuration is similar to Nexus and IOS.  Example:

monitor session 1
  source vlan 600 rx
  destination interface Ethernet3/4

* note that the default state is shutdown.  You must 'no shut' to bring it up

 no monitor session 1 shut

N1000v-L3# sh monitor session 1
   session 1
---------------
type              : local
state             : down (No operational src/dst)
source intf       :
    rx            :
    tx            :
    both          :
source VLANs      :
    rx            : 600
    tx            :
    both          :
source port-profile :
    rx            :
    tx            :
    both          :
filter VLANs      : filter not specified
destination ports : Eth3/4
destination port-profile :

ERSPAN
ERSPAN is an Encapsulates Remote SPAN that uses GRE as the encapsulation technique. ERSPAN must have a port-profile defined.  Below is an example:

port-profile type vethernet ERSPAN
  capability l3control
  vmware port-group erspan
  switchport mode access
  switchport access vlan 700
  no shutdown
  system vlan 700
  state enabled

monitor session 2 type erspan-source
  source port-profile ERSPAN both
  source vlan 600 rx
  destination ip 172.16.2.33
  erspan-id 45
  ip ttl 64
  ip prec 0
  ip dscp 0
  mtu 1000
  header-type 2
  no shut

N1000v-L3# sh monitor session 2
   session 2
---------------
type              : erspan-source
state             : down (No operational src/dst)
source intf       :
    rx            :
    tx            :
    both          :
source VLANs      :
    rx            : 600
    tx            :
    both          :
source port-profile :
    rx            : ERSPAN
    tx            : ERSPAN
    both          : ERSPAN
filter VLANs      : filter not specified
destination IP    : 172.16.2.33
ERSPAN ID         : 45
ERSPAN TTL        : 64
ERSPAN IP Prec.   : 0
ERSPAN DSCP       : 0
ERSPAN MTU        : 1000
ERSPAN Header Type: 2

SNMP

I don't see any differences from Nexus in general here so I'm not going to duplicate work.

Netflow

Same as SNMP - not going to bother.

Syslog
Same deal - not going to bother.
