Verifying VSM and vCenter Server Connectivity
To verify if the VSM VM network adapter 1, network adapter 2, and network adapter 3 are carrying the
control VLAN, management VLAN, and the packet VLAN, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter the show mac address-table dynamic interface vlan control-vlan command on the upstream
switch.
Expected output: the network adapter1 MAC address of the VSM VM.
Step 2 Enter the show mac address-table dynamic interface vlan mgmt-vlan command on the upstream
switch.
Expected output: the network adapter2 MAC address of the VSM VM.
Step 3 Enter the show mac address-table dynamic interface vlan packet-vlan command on the upstream
switch.
Expected output: the network adapter3 MAC address of the VSM VM.
Verifying VSM and vCenter Server Connectivity
When troubleshooting connectivity between the VSM and vCenter Server, follow these guidelines:
• Make sure that domain parameters are configured correctly.
• Make sure the Windows VM hosting the vCenter Server has the following ports open.
– Port 80
– Port 443
• Try reloading the VSM if after verifying the preceding steps, the connect still fails.
• Check if the VSM extension is created by the vCenter Server by pointing your web browser to
https://your-virtual-center/mob/, and choosing Content > Extension Manager.
Step 1 Ensure that the Nexus N1000V VSM VM network adapters are configured properly.
Step 2 Make sure that the Windows VM machine hosting the vCenter Server has the following ports open:
