Can we VLAN tag mgmt0 / control0 in Nexus 1000v L3 deployment

cisco

Level 1

Hello,

for a deployment in a test environment I am looking for a way to VLAN tag the mgmt0 interface.

I will only be able to connect the VSM to trunk port-groups on the ESXi host (All (4095))
So therefor I need to tag the traffic coming out of the VSM.

By default I cannot reach the mgmt0 interface as it reaches the network untagged.


How can I add a VLAN tag of for instance VLAN10 to the mgmt0 network?el

Is this possible in a Nexus 1000v?

Cheers !

Harold

Why can't you designate the Port Group with a VLAN tag (not promiscuous) ?  Each VSM interface should have its own port group, so you can apply tags accordingly.  There's no method to tag the Management traffic from the VSM, just as you can't tag Mgmt0 interface traffic on most switching platforms.  They inherently operate as access interfaces.
