A VDS named VDS-Mgmt, along with five distributed port groups, one for each VLAN, are used as shown in Figure 11. VDS and port groups that are used in the validated environment Note: For each port group in the VDS in this example, both uplinks are active and the load balancing method that is used is Route based on physical NIC load as recommended in VMware Validated Design Documentation. A standard vSwitch (ESXi Management) is used for the default Management Network port group in this test environment and can be migrated to a distributed switch if preferred. Instructions on how to perform these operations are beyond the scope of this document. Note: Cisco ACI supports VMware vCenter VDS integration where the APIC learns ESXi host locations using LLDP allowing automated configuration of host-connected switch ports. With intermediate switches between ESXi hosts and ACI leaf switches, this is not possible without an LLDP relay mechanism. This feature is planned for a future OS10EE release. 22 Dell EMC Networking OS10 Enterprise Edition Deployment Guide with Cisco ACI
