Host VMkernel adapters page
To verify the configuration, ensure the vMotion adapter, vmk1 in this example is shown as Enabled in the
vMotion Traffic column. Verify the VMkernel adapter IP addresses are correct.
Verify the information is correct on other hosts, as needed.
Note: The example used in this guide only uses four hosts on a single leaf pair. For large scale designs with
multiple routed leaf pairs, additional configuration steps are required. The default gateway for each network
configured on the VMkernels cannot be modified during VMkernel creation. Setting the default gateway
requires configuring a static route at the command line of each ESXi host. For instructions on how to set the
default gateway see Appendix C.
Note: A separate vMotion TCP/IP stack can be used to isolate vMotion traffic according to the topology of
the network. For more information and advantages of using a separate vMotion TCP/IP stack, see the
following VMware documentation: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-
vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-5211FD4B-256B-4D9F-B5A2-

3.3.10 Verify VDS configuration
To verify the distributed switches have been configured correctly, the Topology page for each VDS provides
a summary.
To view the Topology page for the VDS, complete the following steps:
1. On the web client Home screen, select Networking.
2. In the Navigator pane, select the VDS.
3. In the center pane, select Configure > Settings > Topology and click the icon next to VMkernel
Ports to expand. The screen should look similar to Figure 24:
