Control0 Interface on the VSM and the Microsoft Hyper-V Host Management Physical NIC Used for Connectivity

Note:

The Cisco Nexus 1000V relies on proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) when control0 interface is

used for VEM-to-VSM communication. Proxy ARP must be enabled on the control0 VLAN in the gateway router.

Some customers prefer to move the Microsoft Hyper-V host management interface behind a Microsoft virtual

switch and share the physical interface with other virtual machines. In this scenario, no special Cisco Nexus

1000V configuration is needed to enable VSM-to-VEM communication (Figure 20).
