The complications and limitations of the PowerShell cmdlets outlined above led to writing a simplified set of PowerShell commands, where enabling port monitoring on external or internal switches gets as simple as:

Import-Module .\VMSwitchPortMonitorMode.psm1 Set-VMSwitchPortMonitorMode -SwitchName MySwitch -MonitorMode Source

The module is available here

How to check the status of port monitoring on a given switch:

PS C:\Dev> Get-VMSwitchPortMonitorMode MySwitch PortType MonitorMode

External Source

Disabling monitoring is also very easy:

Set-VMSwitchPortMonitorMode -SwitchName MySwitch -MonitorMode None
