Brocade Virtual ADX on XenServer: installation validation

You can execute the following steps to ensure that the Brocade Virtual ADX is installed correctly:

1. Power on and login to the Brocade Virtual ADX VM.
2. Enter the following command to access the Brocade Virtual ADX console:

[user@Virtual ADX ~]# vadx-console

3. Use the show interfaces command to verify that three data ports and a management port are

configured. For example:

[user@Virtual ADX ~]# show interface brief

VLAN configuration using OpenvSwitch

The Openvswitch(OVS) network backend supports configuration of ports on multiple VLANs. Once the
Brocade Virtual ADX VM is booted and OVS chosen as the network backend, you can use OVS CLIs to
confgure VLANs on the Brocade Virtual ADX ports via SSH login or the XenCenter Console.

The ifconfig command lists the ovs-bridges and ovs-ports created on the XenServer host that
correspond to the "Networks" and "Virtual network interfaces" configured on the XenCenter GUI.

The default networks on XenCenter (Network 0, Network 1 etc.) correspond to ovs-bridges (xenbr0,
xenbr1 etc.). Other newly-created networks also correspond to ovs-bridges and are named xapi0, xapi1,
xapi2 etc.
