Cisco Nexus 1000 V is software switch implemented as a virtual appliance in VMware vSphere architecture. It runs as a VM on ESX(ESXi) hosts. It's part of the VMware Enterprise Plus licensing and also can be bought separately. The Cisco Nexus 1000 V runs on Cisco NX-OS operating system and provides:
- Policy-based virtual machine connectivity
- Mobile virtual machine security and network policy
- Nondisruptive operational model for your server virtualization and networking teams
Jason Nash walks you through the Cisco Nexus 1000v training which has 15 lessons. You'll see how to setup a training lab, the components of the Nexus switch, step by step basic configuration with deploying virtual Ethernet module lab. The advanced configuration options will be showed as well.
A quick quote from the product page:
One area seeing the most change and integration is networking. When virtualization first became mainstream it did more damage to networking than it helped. We lost visibility, proper policy application, and many vSphere administrators were not used to managing many networking aspects.
While VMware’s vSphere has very robust networking it does cause some loss of capability and administrative control compared to legacy networking. To help fill this void VMware made sure that the networking capabilities in vSphere were extensible by other 3rd parties, such as Cisco. Cisco was the first to develop and release another virtual switch for vSphere, called the Cisco Nexus 1000v.
