You can configure IPFIX profiles for switches, also known as segments.
Flow-based network monitoring enable network administrators to gain insight into traffic traversing a network.
Starting with NSX 4.0.1.1, vSphere Distributed Services Engine provides the ability to offload some of the network operations from your server CPU to a Data Processing Unit (DPU also known as SmartNIC). vSphere 8.0 supports NVIDIA BlueFiled and AMD Pensando DPU devices only.
For more information about VMware vSphere Distributed Services Engine, see Introducing VMware vSphere® Distributed Services EngineTM and Networking Acceleration by Using DPUs in the VMware vSphere® product documentation.
Note: If you want to configure IPFIX on DPU backed VDS, you must create vmknic on 'ops' TCP/IP stack. Else, the flow information is not exported to collector.
