Hello all,
We are in the process of setting up a content filter inside a VM. My question is the following : Is there any way to configure a VM in hyper-v to receive mirrored traffic from a physical switch connected to a physical adapter on the host.
Network Setup as follows :
Physical:
NIC 1 : Lab Network/Management. Not shared to VMs.
NIC 2 : External Network connected to physical switch and bridged External WAN vSwitch.
NIC 3 : Mirror interface connected to physical swicth.
vSwitches :
LAN : Internal - For Management and backend comms between VMs.
WAN : External - Bridged with NIC2. Provides WAN access.
MIRROR : External - Would mirror traffic from physical switch to NIC3
I found the following article online HERE but it seems to be talking about mirroring traffic that goes through an external adapter. In this case, traffic does not go through the host in any way, but through the switch.
Thank you for your help!
