Connecting the Nexus 100v to Vmware virtual center:
N1KV-1# config t
N1KV-1(config)# svs conn vc
N1KV-1(config-svs-conn)# remote ip add 192.168.189.128 <— IP address of VCenter
N1KV-1(config-svs-conn)# protocol vmware-vim <— this is the only protocol available
N1KV-1(config-svs-conn)# vmware dvs datacenter-name DC <— the datacenter name
N1KV-1(config-svs-conn)# connect <——————-connect to Vcenter
Note: Command execution in progress..please wait
Configuring uplink port profiles:
N1KV-1# config t
N1KV-1(config)# port-Profile system-uplink
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# sw mo tr
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# sw tr all vlan add 51,52
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# no shut
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# channel-group auto sub-group cdp <– if you use multiple physical NICs.
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# system vlan 51,52 <—add the control and packet vlans created in vsphere.
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)#
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)#
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# capability uplink
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)#
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)#
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)#
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# vmware port-group
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)#
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# state enabled <— enable
N1KV-1(config)# vlan 53 <—- define a new vlan for VMs to use.
N1KV-1(config-vlan)# name VM-Data
N1KV-1(config-vlan)# exit
N1KV-1(config)# port-profile data-uplink < — for data traffic
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# sw mo tr
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# sw tr all vla add 53
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# no shut
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# channel-group auto sub-group cdp <– if you use multiple physical NICs.
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)#
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)#
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# vmware port-group
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# state enabled <— pushes the port profile to the vcentr server
Note: Processing command..
N1KV-1(config)# port-profile Test-VM < —- for VM traffic
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# sw mo acc
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# sw acc vlan 53 <— defined earlier VM-Data traffic
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# no shut
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# vmware port-group
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# tate enabled <— pushes the port profile to the vcentr server
Note: Processing command..
N1KV-1(config-port-prof)# end
You will need to install the VEM – Virtual Ethernet Modules and install the vem code in vsphere.
