We're deploying Riverbed EX w/ Granite/SteelFusion or whatever their marketing guys want to call it next week.
There's pretty decent articles out there for the previous generation of Riverbed Steelhead 1050: http://kb.websense.com/pf/12/webfiles/WBSN%20Documentation/v7.1/Riverbed%20Steelhead/Windows%20hosting%20WSG/GettingStarted.pdf
But none after that. I understand that the 1050 ran a modified version of VMWare Server, and 1060 runs a full blown ESXi 5.1.
My question is do I still need to hard tap a switch port with port spanning enabled? Or since all the traffic is flowing through the Riverbed if I set the vNICs as documented in the older documentation it'll flow through? Do I need to do something to the upstream ASA?
Would appreciate any advice from anyone that's attempted to do the same.
Thanks!
