Introduction

The AFM plug-in for VMware vCenter virtual distributed switch (VDS) feature allows you to configure a virtual switch

using a CLI. The application communicates with the VMware vCenter for VDS information and provides CLI access to

VDSs in virtualized infrastructures.

The plug-in supports secure shell (SSH) access to the CLI, which is based on the Dell Networking operating system (OS).

VDS CLI Requirements

• vCenter 5.1 or later

• 40 GB of disk space

• 7.2K RPM SATA 3.5 Hot Plug Hard Drive

• 64–bit operating system

• Intel Xeon E5620 2.4Ghz processor, 12M Cache, Turbo, HT, 1066MHz Max Memory

• 4 GB memory, 1333MHz Dual Ranked LV RDIMMs for two processors, Advanced ECC

Important Points to Remember

• At least one Ethernet card is required. By default, the plug-in uses eth0.

• The default username is vadmin and the default password is vadmin123.

• This feature is not available in the AFM graphic user interface (GUI).

• You can only manage VDS and its entities using the VDS CLI. You cannot manage any other vCenter components

using the VDS CLI.

• VDS is managed separately and is not considered part of the network fabric.

• You cannot use the VDS CLI to update your vCenter credentials.

• You can use the administrator account to create user accounts, but users with view-only CLI privileges cannot

create user accounts.

• All commands are lower-case. VMware entities are case-sensitive.
