16 VM-Series Deployment Guide
Install a VM-Series firewall on VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) Set Up a VM-Series Firewall on an ESXi Server
Perform Initial Configuration on the VM-Series on ESXi
Use the virtual appliance console on the ESXi server to set up network access to the VM-Series firewall. You
must first configure the management interface, and then access the web interface to complete further
configurations tasks. If you have Panorama for central management, refer to the Panorama Administrator’s
Guide for information on managing the device using Panorama.
Note If you add additional interfaces (vmNICs)
to the VM-Series firewall, a reboot is
required because new interfaces are
detected during the boot cycle. To avoid
the need to reboot the firewall, make sure
to add the interfaces at initial deployment
or during a maintenance window so that
you can reboot the firewall.
8. Select the networks to use for the two initial vmNICs. The first
vmNIC will be used for the management interface and the
second vmNIC for the first data port. Make sure that the
Source Networks maps to the correct Destination Networks.
