Module 1 Episode 2: Nexus Dashboard Installation on Virtual Appliance (VMware)

In this chapter, Max Alvarado (Cloud Networking Technical Solutions Architect with Cisco), will go through the installation of the Nexus Dashboard Virtual Appliance, downloading the right files from Cisco.com and then installing it on VMware VCenter.
We will then run the installation script, understand the different types of network adapters the Virtual Appliance has and the values that need to be populated to perform a successful installation

Great presentation! Question, if I just need run the NDFC only for now, which image should I download between App and Data nodes?

[@CiscoDataCenterMadeEasy]

Hi! You need to first download Nexus Dashboard 2.1(1e) or later (we recommend going with the latest) using the app node image. Then you will be able to enable NDFC. Here's a link that may help you further: www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/dcn/ndfc/1201/installation/cisco-ndfc-install-and-upgrade-guide-1201/system-requirements.html
Hope this is clear! Regards!

Hi Aaron, would you be so kind in letting us know what ND version you are running so that we can look into it?
