Getting ready

To manually verify control-plane communication and VIB installation, you will need the following access to the following NSX components:

• SSH access to NSX Manager
• SSH access to each NSX controller
• SSH access to ESXi hosts that were prepared for NSX

You would not be expected to check communication of each and every host in your environment, as this can become unwieldly. However, this section is included for you to understand what the expected communication is, but in large deployments you would check the communication channel health per vSphere cluster as depicted in the earlier section.
