Add a VXLAN Virtual Wire
After you prepare the VXLAN fabric, you can add a VXLAN virtual wire. A VXLAN virtual wire provides the
necessary networking abstraction so that the vNICs of a virtual machine always use a VXLAN virtual wire for
connectivity to outside world.
Prerequisites

2 You have added a network scope.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Client, select Inventory > Hosts & Clusters.
2 Select a datacenter resource from the inventory panel.
3 Click the Network Virtualization tab.
4 Click the Networks tab.
5 Click the Add icon.
6 Type a name for the VXLAN virtual wire.
7 Type a description for the VXLAN virtual wire.
8 Select the network scope in which you want to create the virtualized network. The Scope Details panel
displays the clusters that are part of the selected network scope and the services available to be deployed
on the scope.
9 Click OK.
What to do next
Click on the VXLAN virtual wire in the Name column to view the virtual wire details.
