Configure a vSensor in a mirroring deployment

仮想センサー(vSensor) can be configured in a mirroring deployment. When the sensor is deployed with port mirroring, a switch sends a copy of all network packets that are seen on one port to another port.

Amazon Web Services(AWS) and Microsoft Azure vSensor are configured in mirroring deployment through standard installation.

For steps to configure mirroring for VMware vSphere vSensor, see Create a Port Mirroring Session.
