Standard and distributed vSwitch

The VMware platform vSphere offers two kinds of virtual switches, standard and distributed:

• The standard vSwitch is what every vSphere installation has, no matter what license it is running on
• Distributed vSwitches are only available for those who have an Enterprise Plus license

Port mirror is enabled in distributed vSwitch; how to configure it? You can find that out in the Working With Port Mirroring section on the VMware vSphere 6.0 documentation center: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp#com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-CFFD9157-FC17-440D-BDB4-E16FD447A1BA.html.
