3 Executive Summary Cisco Nexus 1000V Switches provide a comprehensive and extensible architectural platform for virtual machine (VM) and cloud networking. The switches are designed to accelerate server virtualization and multitenant cloud deployments in a secure and operationally transparent manner. Cisco Nexus 1000V Switches extend the same experience of Cisco NX-OS Software to the virtual access layer, bringing significant value and benefits to customers. With the initial launch of Cisco HyperFlex Systems, the network environment of our hyperconverged product is installed and configured automatically using standard VMware ESX vswitches (vswitches). To better align with the common practice of using distributed vswitches in the VMware environment, Cisco allows the conversion of networks that do not support Cisco HyperFlex infrastructure, such as virtual machine guest networks and VMware vmotion networks, to use Cisco Nexus 1000V distributed vswitches instead of standard vswitches. Solution Overview This section defines current IT Infrastructure challenges and presents a high-level view of the solution and its benefits. Document Purpose This document describes how to convert guest networks and port groups in a Cisco HyperFlex cluster to use Cisco Nexus 1000V distributed switches instead of the standard vswitches. Solution Purpose Cisco HyperFlex solutions are built on the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS ) platform. They offer faster deployment and greater flexibility and efficiency at a competitive price while reducing risk for the customer. Proven components from Cisco are integrated to form a software-defined storage (SDS) platform. This approach eliminates or reduces the number of planning and configuration decisions that need to be made, while allowing customization to meet customer workload needs. The platform and management model adopted is an extension of the established Cisco UCS data center strategy, in which familiar components are managed in a consistent manner through a policy-based framework with Cisco UCS Manager. Business Challenge By default, Cisco HyperFlex Systems use the standard vswitches (Figure 1) Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public. Page 3 of 29

4 Figure 1. Cisco HyperFlex Systems Using Standard vswitches The use of standard vswitches in any ESX virtualized infrastructure presents several challenges: Inefficiency: Standard vswitches must be configured one by one, on each individual host of a VMware vsphere cluster. Any configuration change must be repeated on each host across the cluster to keep the system consistent. Discrepancy: Configurations across multiple standard vswitches can be set differently, which can lead to configuration faults and to failure of virtual machines to migrate across hosts. Lack of features: Standard vswitches lack features needed in large-scale and next-generation environments. The Solution Cisco HyperFlex Systems can be converted to use either the VMware vsphere Distributed Switch (vds) or Cisco Nexus 1000V distributed vswitch instead of standard vswitches for networks that are not part of the Cisco HyperFlex core infrastructure (Figure 2). This document describes how to convert to Cisco Nexus 1000V Switches with Cisco HyperFlex Systems for virtual machine guest networks and VMware vmotion networks Cisco and/or its affiliates.

5 Figure 2. Cisco HyperFlex Systems Using Cisco Nexus 1000V Switches The Cisco Nexus 1000V is a popular and widely deployed distributed vswitch in VMware environments. The switch has two major components: Virtual Ethernet module (VEM): The VEM runs as part of the hypervisor software on each ESXi host, enabling advanced networking capacity on the hypervisor. The VEM uses the configuration from the VSM to perform Layer 2 switching and advanced networking functions: quality of service (QoS), port security, monitoring, etc. Virtual supervisor module (VSM): The VSM is a virtual appliance that runs NX-OS and integrates with VMware vcenter or other Cloud management and orchestration tools e.g. Cisco Cloud Service Platform to manage, configure, and monitor the VEMs. The VSM controls multiple VEMs as one logical modular distributed vswitch. Configuration is performed through the VSM and is automatically propagated to the VEMs. To enable the installation, migration, and monitoring functions of the VSMs and the VEMs, you need to install the Cisco Virtual Switch Update Manager (VSUM) as a vcenter plug-in. The Virtual Switch Update Manager GUI is an integral part of the VMware vsphere Web Client and can be accessed by logging in to the web client. The VSM is typically installed on a different ESXi host than the VEMs, and it normally operates in a redundant primary and secondary pair. The VSM controls the VEMs in either Layer 2 or Layer 3 mode. The Layer 3 control mode is preferred because in many circumstances the VSM and all the VEMs are not in the same Layer 2 domain, and verifying the Layer 2 connectivity between them can be difficult. The VSM has three network interfaces: the control interface (control0), the management interface (mgmt0), and the packet interface, corresponding to the control VLAN, the management VLAN, and the packet VLAN, respectively. The management interface is used to communicate with vcenter, but it can also be used for the Layer 3 control traffic between the VSM and the VEMs. The management interface is used as the default Layer 3 control interface on the VSM while being configured in the Virtual Switch Update Manager. On the VEMs, it also offers the easiest 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public. Page 5 of 29

6 way to use the management interface (vmk0) for VSM-to-VEM communication. But this kind of deployment requires the migration of the vmk0 interface on each host to the Cisco Nexus 1000V port profile that has Layer 3 capacity. Because you we are not going to migrate the management interface (vmk0) on Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform ESXi hosts, you will create a dedicated VMkernel interface, allowing access to the HX Data Platform management VLAN just for Layer 3 control traffic between VSMs and VEMs. This solution is designed to have separate management and Layer 3 control ports, and you need to assign a new IP address for the Layer 3 control port for each HX Data Platform ESXi host. With this approach, the HX Data Platform management network remains intact on the standard vswitch0, and the virtual machine network and the vmotion network can be converted to Cisco Nexus 1000V distributed vswitches. Solution Benefits This solution provides the following benefits to customers: Simplicity: You configure the Cisco Nexus 1000V distributed vswitch one time in vcenter. Then all the hosts in the vsphere cluster are attached to it, and they inherit the configuration. Centralized management: From vcenter and the NX-OS interface, the configuration can be altered, and all hosts will change simultaneously, eliminating configuration discrepancies. Comprehensive feature set: The Cisco Nexus 1000V provides support for numerous network features, such as these: Familiar security building blocks are offered through access control lists (ACLs); authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA); Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping, Dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (DARP) Inspection (DAI); IP source guard (IPSG); private virtual LAN (PVLAN; and port security (PortSec). Resource preference is given to business-critical applications with classification, marking, policing, and weighted fair queuing (WFQ) features. Network operations are simplified through support for Cisco Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and encapsulated remote SPAN (ERSPAN), Cisco NetFlow, Cisco vtracker, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and syslog. Virtualized network extension is supported through abstraction of underlying hardware with features such as Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN), Security group tag (SGT) Exchange Protocol (SXP), and MAC address distribution. System high availability is supported. Policy-based virtual machine connectivity: Cisco Nexus 1000V Switches use policy-based port profiles to facilitate easy creation and provisioning of virtual machines. The capacity for intelligent policy enforcement and optimal traffic management will enable integration with the Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI ) environment in the future. Consistent NX-OS user experience: Cisco Nexus 1000V Switches run the NX-OS operating system, which performs the management, configuration, and monitoring processes for the network. This OS is consistent with the successful Cisco Nexus data center switches. The solution also enables customers who have already invested in Cisco products and technologies to mitigate their risk further by deploying proven Cisco technology with Cisco HyperFlex Systems Cisco and/or its affiliates.

On all the hosts, unselect vmnic0, vmnic1, vmnic2, and vmnic3. Select only vmnic4, vmnic5, vmnic6, and vmnic7. For vmnic4 and vmnic5, change the profile to the system-uplink profile. For vmnic6 and vmnic7, change the profile to the vmotion-uplink profile Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public. Page 23 of 29

24 Note: Do not modify the profiles or migrate network uplink adapters vmnic0, vmnic1, vmnic2, and vmnic Scroll down to VM Kernel NIC Setup and expand all ESXi hosts. 13. On all the hosts, unselect vmk0 and vmk1, select vmk3 for Layer 3 control traffic, and change the profile to the n1kv-l3 profile. Select vmk2 for the vmotion VMkernel interface and use the user-defined n1kv-vmotion portprofile, or use the system-generated profile: for example, n1kv-veth-vlan3033-sys-666. An example of the system-generated vmotion port profile is shown in Appendix A. 14. Scroll down to VM Migration and expand all ESXi hosts. 15. Unselect the network adapters for HX Data Platform storage controller virtual machines. Select the guest virtual machines to be migrated. Use the user-defined n1kv-vmnet port profile or the system-generated profiles (for example, n1kv-veth-vlan ) for those virtual machines. An example of the system-generated virtual machine network port profile is shown in Appendix A Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public. Page 24 of 29

25 Note: Do not migrate the networking of any of the Cisco HyperFlex storage controller virtual machines. 16. Click Finish. Note: In the production environment, one virtual machine traffic VLAN may be insufficient to meet all the network needs of the guest virtual machines. If guest virtual machine traffic is spread across multiple VLANs, then multiple port profiles must be created, either by the system or through manual configuration. Each port profile will be configured with the VLAN ID used by the port group. Before the VLANs and corresponding port profiles are created on the Cisco Nexus 1000V, you must create the necessary VLAN IDs and add them to the vnic templates in Cisco UCS Manager. Prior to HX Data Platform Release 1.8, the configuration steps had to be performed in Cisco UCS Manager as described in Appendix B and Appendix C. For HX Data Platform Release 1.8 and later, multiple guest VLANs can be defined in the HX Data Platform installer by Cisco UCS Manager configuration by choosing VLAN Configuration > VLAN for the virtual machine network and entering a comma-separated list of VLANs in the box. Test and Clean Up After the migration, test vmotion migration of the virtual machines across the hosts to verify that everything works properly. Verify network connectivity to the guest virtual machines on the proper network subnets and VLANs. Typically, continuous pings to the virtual machines will show a loss of a single ping during the migration process. After the migration is complete, you can delete the original standard vswitches (named vswitch-hx-vm-network and vmotion) for the guest virtual machine traffic and vmotion migration from the Cisco HyperFlex hosts. Prior to the deletion, verify the status of the Cisco Nexus 1000V: 1. Using an SSH client, log in to the primary Cisco Nexus 1000V VSM as admin. 2. Run the Show Module command and verify that all the HX Data Platform ESXi hosts are present as modules Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public. Page 25 of 29

26 3. Run the Show Interfaces command to verify that all interfaces and port channels have been correctly configured. To delete the unused standard vswitches, complete the following steps: 1. In the vcenter Web Client, select Hosts and Clusters. 2. Click the first Cisco HyperFlex platform ESXi host in the navigation tree. 3. In the right pane, click the Manage tab, click Networking, and choose the Virtual Switches menu item Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public. Page 26 of 29

27 4. Click the standard vswitch named vswitch-hx-vm-network in the list. Then click the Remove Selected Standard Switch icon ( ). 5. Click Yes to remove the switch. 6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the vswitch named vmotion. 7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the remaining hosts in the Cisco HyperFlex cluster. VMware vcenter will display numerous alarms that were generated during the process of adding ESXi hosts and migrating the virtual machine guest switch. You can safely clear these alarms. Conclusion This Cisco solution addresses the needs of many enterprise data centers by allowing the use of Cisco Nexus 1000V distributed vswitches in Cisco HyperFlex clusters, providing the same NX-OS user experience as for customers who are deploying Cisco Nexus switches. By employing this solution, you can enable your Cisco HyperFlex System to take advantage of the features offered by the Cisco Nexus 1000V and can now rely on the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for all networking support for your physical and virtual environments.

If additional VLANs are required, you must define the VLANs in Cisco UCS Manager before you can add them to vnic templates, and they must be configured as part of the ESXi host network port groups. To configure additional VLANs for guest virtual machine traffic, complete the following steps: 1. In Cisco UCS Manager, click the LAN tab in the navigation pane. 2. Choose LAN > LAN Cloud > VLANs. 3. Right-click VLANs and choose Create VLANs. 4. Enter the name of the VLAN. 5. Select the multicast policy named HyperFlex. 6. Leave the setting for Common/Global. 7. Enter the VLAN ID number. 8. Leave Sharing Type set to None. 9. Click OK twice. 10. Repeat steps 3 through 9 for each additional VLAN required Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. This document is Cisco Public. Page 28 of 29

29 Appendix C: Alternative Configuration for Tagged VLANs The default Cisco HyperFlex installer defines only a single VLAN for virtual machine traffic in the Cisco UCS configuration. In many cases, multiple VLANs are used to carry guest virtual machine traffic, and the standards set at the customer data center require that all virtual machine traffic be tagged with the appropriate IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID. To accommodate that requirement, you must first make changes in the Cisco UCS configuration. To modify the Cisco UCS settings to carry multiple tagged VLANs, complete the following steps: 1. In Cisco UCS Manager, click the LAN tab in the navigation pane. 2. Choose LAN > Policies > root > Sub-Organizations > hx-cluster > vnic-templates. 3. Click the vnic template named vm-network-a. 4. In the configuration pane, click Modify VLANs. 5. In the Modify VLANs window, verify that the radio buttons in the Native VLAN column are all cleared. 6. In the Modify VLANs window, click the Select box next to each VLAN that will be tagged and carry guest virtual machine traffic to the Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch. 7. Click OK. 8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for the vnic template named vm-network-b. Note: This step might not be needed if you are using Cisco HyperFlex HX Data Platform Release 1.8 or later.
