Enable NIS (y/n) [n]?
6. Continue as follows:
For deployment mode 1, go to step 10.
For deployment mode 2, go to step 7.
For deployment mode 3, go to step 9.
7. If you are using a VMware server, proceed to Step 8. If you are using a Hyper-V
server, you need to change the configuration on the Windows Server system to
promiscuous mode by running the set_promiscuous.ps1 script, included in
the ZIP file containing the virtual engine. When the files are extracted, the script is
saved in the directory to which you extracted the engine. The script enables the
ExtremeAnalytics sensor to see all traffic coming into the interface.
From an Administrator PowerShell on the Windows Server system,
enter the following command to run the script:
.\set_promiscuous.ps1 VM Nameeth1
VM Name - The name of the virtual machine as reported by
Get-VM
eth1 - The default interface. This entry is optional.
8. On the ExtremeAnalytics Engine, specify one or more tap ports. For each line, enter
the requested configuration information and press
[Enter].
