Let us do the walkthrough of the distributed virtual switch.
So we have one distributed virtual sets.
I can go here I can show you that.
What's the summary.
How to do the configuration inside this distributed virtual switch.
So I can go ahead I can select configuration and then we can check the properties.
Now here you can see clearly that you have properties related to general properties advanced Discovery
Protocol some sort of administrator contract or contact site.
These are the properties we have.
I log into the switch and I'll show you all these option.
Then you can go and really topology you can create the private will and you can do the configuration
related to next floor port mirroring.
You can go and do the configuration related to health check.
So I'll show you all these options one by one.
Suppose if you want to seek some of the properties so what you can do here you can click to the configuration
and then you can go to the properties you can click gate.
Once you click it then you will get the option general an advance.
In general you can go change the name.
You can go and change the total number of uplink ports Your Io control.
You can make a disable enable.
You can put the description right then.
What did the meaning of uplink.
You can add more number of uplink you can add more number of ports you can give this enable or disable
for the IO control you can put the description then suppose if you go inside the advance option here
you can see the options related to M2 you might take us to mode Discovery Protocol administration contract
now empty we can go increase or decrease depending upon the use case but in my take us will the more
you can see that we have two more basic and ICMP emailing snooping basic means from the IP for this
it will make out what is the what is the MAC address and then it forward the traffic in case of ICMP
or email snooping.
As for their ICMP membership they will forward the graphic Discovery Protocol we have two options CBP
LLP and disable also.
So suppose if you're using CBP as it's called Discovery Protocol I can see here that CBP Olympian is
able as well.
So if you're using CBP you have option that you are the listener or you're advertising or you're listening
and aggregating both.
We can go to the Hill check and again we can click Edit Once you click edit then you get the option
related to we land and empty you.
What is the state what's the devil these intervals are in minute reclaiming well over what's the state
what's the interval if you want we can change those values.
Correct.
So what I'm going to do before moving further.
Let me go log into the reassert link and I'll show you all these options were really fine.
All right.
So I logged in inside the VSO client what I can do.
You have option you can go to the menu.
You can go and select the networking from heroes you can see the networking.
So let's go and go inside the networking Insight Network.
I want to check this switch inside switch some you can see that switch to kill.
So how many network you have.
There's nothing but report group.
How many hosts we have.
How many virtual machines are connected how many ports are there then if you have any nodes then if
we have any tag what features you have will go and see all the features.
So I'll feature Nick flow you can see all these features are supported Niccolo supported LDP supported
link aggregation control protocol that is basic support port mirroring supported ICMP Emily's snooping
supported Hiltzik support and then you have the customer at it.
So how we can go and configure this go and click through the configure we are inside the setting and
properties if I go click Edit here you can see that I can go and in the name I can change the number
of uplink ports I leave this as for then you have the IO control you can enable disable if you want
to put any description you can put the description then we can go to this advance option we have the
empty option here you can see the my cost option either the basic or ICMP Emily the Discovery Protocol
we have option LLP CBP visible then the operation or operation you want you want listen advertise both.
We can go and give the administrator a contract name and the other details apart from that you can see
inside the setting I can go and check the topology this thing actually we have checked earlier so earlier
previously we have we went here and we have done the walk through we have seen the port groups and the
VM basically they are nothing but a Winnick and William kernel interfaces and these are nothing like
the uplink interfaces that belong into the physical interface.
So we have the topology then if we want to create the private we learned like in Cisco we have private
will and type.
So for example a community isolated promiscuous et cetera so I can go and create a villain inside will
and that will work as a second hand clearly can see primary will and second it will entail.
So we can go click edit and we can define that or subprime we will land you want to add or to this again
we will and you want to add et cetera et cetera et and you can see the type is by default promiscuous
but you have options so let's see that the options that we have it is creating.
So once I click here plus you can see I can go and change the number see for example 3 0 and this is
the second do we land.
What's the Wieland type.
You have
if you click here by default it is taking promiscuous part.
I will not go deep inside this.
I believe this and the moment as it is so your primary will end.
I have secondary villain you can see primary we learned second Will and both are tiny Jedi like that
then we have a net flow very much similar to the Cisco configuration of natural who is a collector IP
collector port what's the domain switch IP address and then you have the collector sampling inactive
or active timers etc. Then we can do the mirroring.
This is nothing but this span.
R E R span like in Cisco we have if I go and check the options you can see clearly here that you have
the port distributed port mirroring remote mirroring source remote mirroring destination encapsulated
remote mirroring source so we have all those options related to port mirroring.
Finally you can go and check the health alarm so violent and empty you teeming and fail over so I can
go and check this Hiltzik check the estate for real and an empty you.
You can go and enable this is for one minute teeming feel over a street you can go and enable you can
click Okay.
This the setting that we can go and do inside the research later on will add the rest of the things
as well but you can go log into the VCR you can go and check most of the features and to here you can
see the difference now with the standard switch and the distributed switch in the distributor since
you have so many added features so you have private land you have let flow you have mirroring health
check etc. so thats why this distributed virtual switch is actually important and popular in the production
network.
