VMware Specific Configuration

If you are installing vSZ-D on VMware, read these VMware specific configuration recommendations from RUCKUS.

  • Deploy vSZ-D on a machine where data and management interfaces are on different VLANs. They can still share the same physical interface.

    vSwitch Topology

  • When deploying an instance of vSZ-D using an OVA file, you must assign the management and data interfaces to two different network groups (vSwitch) on different subnets.

    Deploying an Instance of vSZ-D Using an OVA File

  • Select Accept to enable Promiscuous Mode, MAC Address Changes, and Forged Transmits in vSwitch Config.

    Port Group Security Settings

  • In vSwitch Config, enable VLAN ID for All.

    Enabling VLAN ID

  • After the vSZ-D instance is ready, modify the number of CPU cores (if needed) before powering on vSZ-D.

    Verifying the Number of CPU Cores

  • For advanced CPU and memory resource configuration recommendations, refer to the vSphere Resource Management Guide, which is available on the VMware website.
