What to do next

Obtain and install an NSX for vSphere license within the evaluation period.

Install Network Virtualization Components

As the demands on datacenters continue to grow and accelerate, requirements related to speed and access to

the data itself continue to grow as well. In most infrastructures, virtual machine access and mobility usually

depend on physical networking infrastructure and the physical networking environments they reside in.

This can force virtual workloads into less than ideal environments due to potential layer 2 or layer 3

boundaries, such as being tied to specific VLAN's.

Network virtualization allows you to place these virtual workloads on any available infrastructure in the

datacenter regardless of the underlying physical network infrastructure. This not only allows increased

flexibility and mobility, but increased availability and resilience.

You install the network infrastructure components in your virtual environment on a per-cluster level for

each vCenter server, which deploys the required software on all hosts in the cluster. When a new host is

added to this cluster, the required software is automatically installed on the newly added host. After the

network infrastructure is installed on a cluster, Logical Firewall is enabled on that cluster.

Procedure

1 Log in to the vSphere Web Client.

2 Click Networking & Security and then click Installation.

3 Click the Host Preparation tab.

4 For each cluster, select Install in the Installation Status column.

5 Monitor the installation until the Installation Status column displays a green check mark. If the

Installation Status column displays a red warning icon and says Not Ready, click Resolve. Clicking

Resolve might result in a reboot of the host. If the installation is still not successful, click the warning

icon. All errors are displayed. Take the required action and click Resolve again.

When the installation is complete, the Installation Status column displays 6.0 and the Firewall column

displays Enabled. Both columns have a green check mark as well.

Prepare and Enable Clusters for Logical Switches

A logical switch creates logical broadcast domains or segments to which an application or tenant virtual

machine can be logically wired. This allows for flexibility and speed of deployment while still providing all

the characteristics of a physical network's broadcast domains (VLANs) without physical Layer 2 sprawl or

spanning tree issues. Configuring logical switches is a multi-step process. You must follow these steps in

order to complete logical switch configuration.

Prerequisites

Verify the following.

You have the Super Administrator or Enterprise Administrator role permission to configure and

manage logical switches.

Network virtualization components are installed on the clusters that are to be part of the logical switch.

See

You have the minimum required software versions.

Physical infrastructure MTU is at least 50 bytes more than the MTU of the virtual machine vNIC.
