Mapping Cisco CSR 1000V Network Interfaces with vSwitch Interfaces

Mapping Cisco CSR 1000V Network Interfaces with vSwitch Interfaces

You can configure the network interfaces in ESXi in different ways to accommodate the

Cisco CSR 1000V interfaces. Figure 10-2shows an example where each Cisco CSR 1000V router interface is mapped to one host Ethernet interface.
