Scenario 4

< Back | Next>

Scenario:

Scenario – As an alternative to host profiles, you are considering developing a script that can be used to deploy a standard configuration for your ESXi hosts. As part of this effort, you want to develop a set of ESXCLI commands that can be run in the ESXi Shell to create and configure a standard virtual switch.

Requirements:

• Use an ESXCLI command to create a standard vSwitch named vSwitch3 that has 248 accessible ports.
• Use an ESXCLI command to attach vmnic3 as an uplink to vSwitch3.
• Use ESXCLI commands to create two port groups named Prod-201 and Prod-202 on vSwitch3.
• Use ESXCLI commands to assign VLAN 201 to the Prod-201 port.
• Use ESXCLI commands to set security policy of vSwitch3 to reject promiscuous mode, MAC address changes, and forged transmits.

Environment Information:

• ESXi host FQDN: host-01.lab.local
