Setting up "SPAN"/"Mirror" ports in VMware

[trwagner1]

You can deploy Malcolm in your vMware vCenter environment.

Assign a primary interface to your VM when you deploy your Malcolm VM.
Assign a secondary interface, the network assigned doesn't matter. At leat in my experience.

Then, follow the instructions here to create a port mirroring assignment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUS1mUw9JaE

You want to mirror VLAN IDs to a specific interface (that secondary interface on your Malcolm VM).

Make sure to correctly identify the Malcolm's server isntance interface ID's with your Malcolm configuration.

If you "have to", like in a Stratus environment, connect multiple virtual nics. But, during the Malcolm configuration, you provide the enterface names using commas. Example: ensP1,ensP2,ensP3

that's an example and not representative of all.
