If its value is n, one of every n packets is mirrored. Valid values are between 1 to 65535, and default value is 1. required: false type: int destination_vm: description: - With this parameter it is possible, to add a NIC of a VM to a port mirroring session. - 'Valid attributes are:' - '- C(name) (str): Name of the VM' - '- C(nic_label) (bool): Label of the Network Interface Card to use.' required: false validate_certs: default: true description: - Allows connection when SSL certificates are not valid. Set to C(false) when certificates are not trusted. - If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(VMWARE_VALIDATE_CERTS) will be used instead. - Environment variable support added in Ansible 2.6. - If set to C(true), please make sure Python >= 2.7.9 is installed on the given machine. type: bool destination_port: description: - Destination port that received the mirrored packets. Also any port designated in the value of this property can not match the source port in any of the Distributed Port Mirroring session. required: false source_vm_received: description: - With this parameter it is possible, to add a NIC of a VM to a port mirroring session. - 'Valid attributes are:' - '- C(name) (str): Name of the VM' - '- C(nic_label) (bool): Label of the Network Interface Card to use.' strip_original_vlan: description: - Whether to strip the original VLAN tag. if false, the original VLAN tag will be preserved on the mirrored traffic. If encapsulationVlanId has been set and this property is false, the frames will be double tagged with the original VLAN ID as the inner tag. required: false type: bool source_port_received: description: - Source port for which received packets are mirrored. required: false encapsulation_vlan_id: description: - VLAN ID used to encapsulate the mirrored traffic. required: false source_vm_transmitted: description: - With this parameter it is possible, to add a NIC of a VM to a port mirroring session. - 'Valid attributes are:' - '- C(name) (str): Name of the VM' - '- C(nic_label) (bool): Label of the Network Interface Card to use.' mirrored_packet_length: description: - An integer that describes how much of each frame to mirror. If unset, all of the frame would be mirrored. Setting this property to a smaller value is useful when the consumer will look only at the headers. The value cannot be less than 60. required: false normal_traffic_allowed: description: - Whether or not destination ports can send and receive "normal" traffic. Setting this to false will make mirror ports be used solely for mirroring and not double as normal access ports. required: false type: bool source_port_transmitted: description: - Source port for which transmitted packets are mirrored. required: false
