Create vSwitch vs_gateway with DPDK disabled

Before deploying UIS-Sec gateway component VMs on a host, create vSwitch vs_gateway for the host, and bind the vSwitch to a minimum of one available Ethernet interface on the host. As a best practice to ensure data availability, bind the vSwitch to two available Ethernet interfaces on the host.

To create vSwitch vs_gateway with DPDK disabled:

  1. On the top navigation bar, click Network.

  1. From the left navigation pane, select Advanced Network Management.

  1. Click Create Network Bridge vs_gateway.
