Traffic Sources - An Ethernet traffic monitoring session can monitor any of the following traffic sources: ->Uplink Ethernet port ->Ethernet port channel ->VLAN ->Service profile vNIC ->Service profile vHBA ->FCoE port ->Port channels ->Server port A Fibre Channel traffic monitoring session can monitor any of the following traffic sources: ->Uplink Fibre Channel port ->SAN port channel ->VSAN ->Service profile vHBA ->Fibre Channel storage port Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/sw/gui/config/guide/2-0/b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_0/ b_UCSM_GUI_Configuration_Guide_2_0_chapter_0101001.html.
Cisco UCS (Unified Computing System) is a converged infrastructure solution for data centers that integrates computing, networking, and storage resources into a single platform. In order to monitor traffic within the UCS fabric, the system provides the ability to create monitor sessions, which can be used to copy traffic from a specific source to a destination for analysis.
The valid sources for Cisco UCS monitor sessions are:
A. VSAN: A VSAN (Virtual Storage Area Network) is a logical SAN (Storage Area Network) created within a physical SAN fabric. The VSAN can be used as a source for monitor sessions to capture traffic within a specific VSAN.
B. Pin group: A pin group is a collection of vNICs (virtual NICs) or vHBAs (virtual Host Bus Adapters) that are associated with a specific fabric interconnect. The pin group can be used as a source for monitor sessions to capture traffic that is going in or out of the pin group.
C. vHBA: A vHBA (virtual Host Bus Adapter) is a virtualized HBA that provides connectivity between the server and the SAN fabric. The vHBA can be used as a source for monitor sessions to capture traffic that is going through the vHBA.
D. vNIC: A vNIC (virtual Network Interface Card) is a virtualized NIC that provides connectivity between the server and the LAN fabric. The vNIC can be used as a source for monitor sessions to capture traffic that is going through the vNIC.
E. VLAN: A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical LAN created within a physical LAN. The VLAN can be used as a source for monitor sessions to capture traffic within a specific VLAN.
F. Uplink FC interface: An uplink FC (Fibre Channel) interface is a physical FC port on a fabric interconnect that connects to the SAN fabric. The uplink FC interface can be used as a source for monitor sessions to capture traffic going in or out of the uplink FC interface.
In summary, Cisco UCS monitor sessions can be configured to capture traffic from different sources within the UCS fabric, including VSANs, pin groups, vHBAs, vNICs, VLANs, and uplink FC interfaces.
