A logical switch port provides a logical connection point for a VM interface (VIF) and a L2 gateway connection to an external
network. It binds the virtual access ports in the GW to logical network (VXLAN) and VLAN.
NOTE: For more details about NVP controller conguration, refer to the NVP user guide from VMWare .
Conguring VxLAN Gateway
To congure the VxLAN gateway on the S6000 platform, follow these steps:
1. Connecting to NVP controller
2. Advertising VXLAN access ports to controller
Connecting to an NVP Controller
To connect to an NVP controller, use the following commands.
1. feature vxlan
CONFIGURATION mode

You must congure feature VXLAN to congure vxlan-instance.
2. vxlan-instance
CONFIGURATION mode
vxlan-instance instance ID
The platform supports only the instance ID 1 in the initial release.
3. controller
