I need to do the same for Leaf 2 with a separate virtual switch. I will now address E/1 with the first point to point link interface Ethernet1/1 The connection between Spine to Leaf 1 is via it’s own virtual switch Then I need to map Network adapter 2 as my first port to E1/1 My Local Network is called VM Network on the 192.168.1.0/24 network so I will configure the management interface as below interface mgmt0 Then configure the management interface on your Nexus 9000v with an IP in the same network. Network adapter 1 always goes to the Management interface this needs to go to your local network. The interfaces within ESXi are mapped directly to E1/1 – E1/12 on the 9000v. The first challenge is to get connectivity between the three switches So I have 3 switches installed and up and running I will not be showing you how to deploy an ova file as I am assuming if you are looking to deploy VXLAN you should be able to install an ova file!

Final Underlay Config for all 3 switchesįor this lab I will be using VMWare ESXi, 3 x Nexus 9000V switches and a local installation of Ansible running on Ubuntu.
