To configure an NSX controller-provisioned VXLAN:
Configure the controller and the interfaces to be managed by the controller, in the OS10 VTEPs
Configure the NSX controller in VMware vCenter. For more information about configuring the NSX controller using the GUI,
see the Configure and control VXLAN from the VMware vCenter.
You must configure an OS10 VTEP with the controller configuration so that the VTEP can communicate with the NSX controller.
The NSX controller handles configurations and control plane operations in the VXLAN environment.

OS10(config-if-eth1/1/55:1)# exit
2. Configure a Loopback interface.
OS10(config)# interface loopback 1
OS10(config-if-lo-1)# no shutdown
OS10(config-if-lo-1)# ip address 200.0.0.1/32
OS10(config-if-lo-1)# exit
3. Create an NVE instance and configure the Loopback interface as the VXLAN source tunnel interface.
OS10(config)# nve
OS10(config-nve)# source-interface loopback 1
4. Specify the NSX controller reachability information.
OS10(config-nve)# controller ovsdb
