10.7 Add distributed port groups In this section, distributed port groups are created on the VDS. One port group is created for each VNI. To create the port groups: 1. In the vSphere Web Client, go to Home > Networking. 2. Right-click on Mgmt-VDS. Select Distributed Port Group > New Distributed Port Group. 3. On the Select name and location page, provide a name for the distributed port group to be associated with the first VNI configured on the leaf switches, e.g., VNI-1614-PG. Click Next. 4. On the Configure settings page, next to VLAN type: select VLAN. Next to VLAN ID, specify the VLAN associated with the first VNI on the leaf switches. In this example, VLAN 1614 is used. 5. Leave the remaining values at their defaults and click Next > Finish. 6. Complete steps 2 through 4 for the remaining VNIs, 1615 and 1616.

. Click
Next
.
4. On the
Configure settings
page, next to
VLAN type:

10.8
Create LACP LAGs
Since VLT port channels are configured on the leaf switches, LACP LAGs are configured on the VDS.
To enable LACP on
Mgmt-VDS:
1.
In the vSphere Web Client, go to
Home > Networking.
2. In the
Navigator
pane, select
