Hello:
I am new to vShield and looking at using it in our environment. I've read the documentation and am looking at installing the first piece, the vShield Manager appliance. In reading the docs, it specifically states the management interface for the vShield Manager being in its own port group. Why is this? Is it OK to put this interface in an existing port group? Can it be in a port group with other management VMs (i.e. vCenter, etc)? Also, is it best practice to have this in a standard vs. dvswitch, or does it not matter? I've been looking through posts and the other docs and so far I don't see a clear reason why it has to be in its own port group.
So far the only component we will be looking at is vShield Endpoint, for now. We don't have any plans to look at App or Edge, etc.
Thanks in advance!
