Cisco vNAM and ERSPAN config on N7K

NAM is a tool which helps you to collect network information via SPAN, ERSPAN and Netflow.  There is a virtual version vNAM which allows you to install it on VM.  I have a setup in my NAM using vNAM 6.0(2).  This is particular useful after 1040 Sensor announced EoS, and it can provide data to Prime Collaboration Assurance for better reporting capability on voice service quality.  I have a Nexus 7000 in my lab, ERSPAN is configured to send traffic to send my vNAM.  This is my ERSPAN configuration on 7K and related show command.
