Configuring the VSM
After installing VSM using a VM template, connect to a VM console and configure the VSM. We
recommend that the VSM is deployed using the template provided by Cisco. After the deployment is
complete, power on the VSM. The following basic inputs are required for the VSM configuration:
1. Switch name
2. Domain ID
3. Management address
4. Subnet mask
5. Gateway address
