Use this procedure to create a vSwitch that you can assign to a virtualized Avaya SBC interface. Use this procedure to configure A1, A2, B1, B2, M1, and M2 interfaces.
You must repeat the following procedure for all the required vSwitches. For example, if your require interface M1 and A1 on different physical NIC then you will require three vSwitches to configure the interfaces.
On vSphere client, click the Configuration tab.
In the Hardware section of the left navigation pane, click Networking Add Networking.
STEP RESULT:
The system displays the Add Network Wizard window.
In the Connection Type page, click Virtual Machine.
In the Network Access page, click Assign Physical NIC to vSwitch to select the physical NIC that provides connectivity to the network for the required vSwitch.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
For example, if you are creating a vSwitch for management interface M1 then, the selected physical NIC provides external connectivity to the network.
In the Connection Settings page, in the Network Label field, type an interface name.
In the Connection Settings page, select the time zone.
In the Connection Settings page, in the VLAN ID (optional) field, click the VLAN ID.
Click Finish.
Next steps
Note:
For HA configuration, you must configure the M2 interface for both Avaya SBC systems. If the two SBC instances are running on the same ESXi host, then the vSwitch for the M2 interface does not require a physical NIC association. You must assign the same M2 vSwitch without NIC to both Avaya SBC systems in HA mode, because M2 connection is on layer 2.
