Configure jump host
A jump host is a designated port to which an external device such as a laptop can be connected. You can configure only one
port in a leaf switch port as a jump host for the external device to connect to L3 fabric. Select any available port that is not part
of an uplink, ICL, and port connected to a server in fabric.
In VxRail deployment, a jump host is primarily used to bring up a VxRail cluster. By default, all VxRail nodes are placed in the
client control and client management networks. In VxRail deployment, the jump host port is placed in the client management
network in order to reach the default VxRail Manager VM.
Use the following procedure to configure jump host:
1. Click Home > Configure Jump Host.
2. Assign a user-understandable name and description for the jump host.
3. Select a leaf switch from the rack.
4. Select an interface of the leaf switch as the jump host.
5. Associate an untagged network with the jump host and click Ok.
Click Uplinks tab to view the configured jump host. You can also delete any created jump host from this tab. Select the jump
host from the list and click Delete.
Update network configuration
You can edit the network configuration that is applied on the uplink and server profiles in the fabric anytime. Use the following
procedure to update the existing network configuration or create a network:
1. Click Home > Update Network Configuration.
2. Select a network that you want to update the configuration.
