Nexus Dashboard 002 - Bootstrapping Nexus 9000v switches

[@Sean-md4dn]

Looking forward to this series. I got DCNM to work inside of EVE-NG just fine but had issues with Nexus Dashboard. Major latency issues when discovering the leafs/spines.

I struggling to understand what this all looks like from a topology standpoint. I have an ESXi host that is running an Eve server and is also running Nexus dashboard server. Both are on my vmNetwork which is my home network. Then I have a palo vm that has trust on my home network and homelab on another interface with a different range of IPs. I have both the ND and eve servers tied to another vmnetwork called isolated which doesnt have any uplinks and is basically in a vacuum. so what network should be the out of band orchestration network? My home network?

[@RobRikerTechChannel]

I always used my home network for out of band, the 10.255.1.X subnet. The inband just needs to be given an IP address and a port group on the vSwitch, it doesn't do anything.

@@RobRikerTechChannel Ah ok that makes sense, plus makes it easier. Where does your paloVM sit then?

How can I download this topology?

[@stevenwilliams7774]

Is this topology available for members to download for eve community?

[@RobRikerTechChannel]

Yep, had to check, and just uploaded them.
