NOTE
For inlineIn network terminology, an inline device receives packets and forwards them to their intended destination. Routers, firewalls and switches are examples of inline devices. The inline designation also alerts you the device is critical to network function. If the device goes down, network traffic is affected. deployments to work correctly under VMware, the virtual switches need to allow promiscuous mode.
