In this final chapter, we will create a full end-to-end configuration comprising a tenant, connecting to a VMWare VMM domain, and with one EPG providing a simple service to another. This simple service will be offered through a contract and secured through an ASA firewall.
So that we don't just rehash old ground, we will use the NX-OS CLI a lot more (which will save us from having too many repetitive screenshots). While the goal of this chapter is to stick to the CLI for configuration, some elements are better configured through the GUI, and this will also highlight any pitfalls along the way.
The steps we will cover are:
- Setting up in-band and out-of-band access to the nodes
- Creating the security domain
- Creating the VLAN domain
- Creating the VMWare domain
- Creating the tenant
- Creating the VRF
- Creating the bridge domains
- Creating the applications and EPGs
- Creating the contract
- Creating an L4-L7 device
- Creating service templates
- Setting up the client...
