Viewing Virtual Tunnel End Point (VTEP) Details

 

Overlay networks based on VXLANs transport frames after encapsulating them as VXLAN packets. Encapsulation and de-encapsulation in these networks are done by an entity called the Virtual Tunnel End Point (VTEP). VTEPS can be implemented in your overlay network as—virtual bridges in a hypervisor server, VXLAN-specific virtual applications, or switching hardware that is capable of handling VXLANs.

After you set up a data center, you can view details about the VTEPs in your network, using the view VTEP task.

To view the VTEPs in a data center:

  1. While in Build mode with Datacenter View selected, select a data center from the View pane and click Inventory > View VTEP from the Tasks pane.

    The View VTEP page opens.

  2. Table 1 describes the fields that are displayed in the VTEP table.
