Checking the vCenter Server Configuration

You can use the following procedure from vSphere client to verify the configuration on the vCenter
Server.
Confirm that the host is added to the data center and the Cisco Nexus 1000V DVS in that data center.
Step 1
Confirm that at least one pnic of the host is added to the DVS, and that pnic is assigned to the
Step 2
system-uplink profile.
Confirm that the three VSM vnics are assigned to the port groups containing the control VLAN, packet
Step 3
VLAN, and management network.

Checking Network Connectivity Between the VSM and the VEM

You can use the following procedure to verify Layer 2 network connectivity between the VSM and VEM.
On the VSM, find its MAC address.
Step 1
show svs neighbors
The VSM MAC address displays as the AIPC Interface MAC.
The user VEM Agent MAC address of the host displays as the Src MAC.
Example:
n1000v# show svs neighbors
Active Domain ID: 1030
