IPFIX (Internet Protocol Flow Information Export) is a standard for the format and export of network flow information for troubleshooting, auditing, or collecting analytics information.
You can configure flow monitoring on a logical segment. All the flows from the VMs connected to that logical segment are captured and sent to the IPFIX collector. The collector names are specified as a parameter for each IPFIX switch profile.
In an SDDC that is a member of an SDDC group, all outbound traffic from hosts to destinations outside the SDDC network is routed to the VTGW or private VIF regardless of other routing configurations in the SDDC. This includes IPFIX and Port Mirroring traffic. See Creating and Managing SDDC Deployment Groups with VMware Transit Connect.
Prerequisites
Verify that a logical segment is configured. See Create or Modify a Network Segment.
