An engineer at work wanted me to install the Nexus 1000V onto our development system... I'd heard very little about it, so I went and did some basic research. Download this package, there's a couple of folders... VSM, VEM... Install the .OVA, install the .VIB, configure to run atop a dvSwitch, done. Now what?
Just what the heck is the Nexus1000V, and how does it fit in to a virtual environment? Cisco + Nexus = switch in my mind... But it's not like I have an option to create a Nexus switch instead of a dvSwitch or vSwitch now. No new port group options, the .OVA looks to be just a VM with IOS in it... I'm lost. What did I just install?
