00:00.000 --> 00:02.320
So in this video at the load balancer,

2
00:02.320 --> 00:04.200
we're going to go ahead and make sure we have a license that

3
00:04.200 --> 00:08.720
let us create our clouds and also set up the credentials we're going to need to

4
00:08.720 --> 00:08.960
log

5
00:08.960 --> 00:11.760
into the vCenter and also to the NSX manager.

6
00:11.760 --> 00:16.200
So this is the interface to log into the NSX advanced load balancer.

7
00:16.200 --> 00:19.400
And when it's initially deployed and after you've given it like an hour to

8
00:19.400 --> 00:20.000
initialize,

9
00:20.000 --> 00:23.720
it's going to ask you to set up a password for the admin account.

10
00:23.720 --> 00:28.930
So I already did that part, but everything else is just as it was when it was

11
00:28.930 --> 00:29.560
fresh deployed.

12
00:29.560 --> 00:34.080
So I'm going to go ahead and log in here as admin using the password I set up
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

12
00:29.560 --> 00:34.080
So I'm going to go ahead and log in here as admin using the password I set up

13
00:34.080 --> 00:35.200
for that admin account.

14
00:35.200 --> 00:38.280
And we'll click log in to log into the controller.

15
00:38.280 --> 00:40.720
It's encouraging me to register with cloud services.

16
00:40.720 --> 00:41.880
So go ahead and close that.

17
00:41.880 --> 00:45.480
And for the licensing, we're going to go ahead and click on this administration

18
00:45.480 --> 00:46.760
tab right here.

19
00:46.760 --> 00:50.040
So with the administration of the top selected on the left, we're going to go

20
00:50.040 --> 00:51.080
down to licensing.

21
00:51.080 --> 00:54.640
So currently I have this big red icon that represents bad news.

22
00:54.640 --> 00:58.080
So we'll go ahead and click on the gear next to licensing right there.

23
00:58.360 --> 01:01.440
So here currently with the enterprise, we have cloud services here.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

23
00:58.360 --> 01:01.440
So here currently with the enterprise, we have cloud services here.

24
01:01.440 --> 01:04.920
I currently have zero of zero service core licenses.

25
01:04.920 --> 01:08.760
So what I want to do is click on this radio button right there for the

26
01:08.760 --> 01:09.680
enterprise here,

27
01:09.680 --> 01:13.080
which is going to give us 22 service core licenses.

28
01:13.080 --> 01:15.200
So I'll go ahead and click on save.

29
01:15.200 --> 01:19.360
And then once we click on save, it'll take maybe 30 to 60 seconds for it to go

30
01:19.360 --> 01:20.840
ahead and have that kick in.

31
01:20.840 --> 01:24.330
And at the bottom right here, it has a little indicator that it's still working

32
01:24.330 --> 01:24.720
on it.

33
01:24.720 --> 01:26.040
All right, that looks better.

34
01:26.040 --> 01:28.080
So on the left, we're still in the licensing section.

35
01:28.080 --> 01:30.600
It'll make collapse out on the left, give us a little bit more room.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

35
01:28.080 --> 01:30.600
It'll make collapse out on the left, give us a little bit more room.

36
01:30.600 --> 01:34.120
So we could add another license key if we had it or upload a license file.

37
01:34.120 --> 01:38.680
So if we look down here, currently we have some service cores and some SC VCPs.

38
01:38.680 --> 01:40.960
And again, the SC is an acronym for service engine.

39
01:40.960 --> 01:43.640
That's the data playing component of the load balancer.

40
01:43.640 --> 01:47.600
So for the expiration here, they'll be based on the free 30 days that they're

41
01:47.600 --> 01:51.140
giving us when you initially deploy it, at least with this version of the

42
01:51.140 --> 01:52.360
advanced load balancer.

43
01:52.360 --> 01:52.840
All right.

44
01:52.840 --> 01:54.280
So now the licensing address.

45
01:54.480 --> 01:57.240
The next thing we're going to do is set up user credentials.

46
01:57.240 --> 02:01.160
So still here under the administration tab up on top, on the left, we're going
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

46
01:57.240 --> 02:01.160
So still here under the administration tab up on top, on the left, we're going

47
02:01.160 --> 02:01.560
to go down

48
02:01.560 --> 02:05.560
and expand user credentials and then click here on user credentials.

49
02:05.560 --> 02:09.400
And these are the sets of credentials that we're going to be using when we log

50
02:09.400 --> 02:14.360
into vCenter and NSX, respectively, think of it like a password manager that

51
02:14.360 --> 02:14.600
has

52
02:14.600 --> 02:17.980
the user names and passwords that you need for when you need to log into

53
02:17.980 --> 02:18.400
something.

54
02:18.400 --> 02:21.080
So here under user credentials, we're going to create our first one.

55
02:21.080 --> 02:23.240
And let's start off with the vCenter.

56
02:23.440 --> 02:25.360
Let me bring back our little topology here.

57
02:25.360 --> 02:29.000
So we'll click on create and again, sitting here at the load balancer

58
02:29.000 --> 02:29.600
controller.

59
02:29.600 --> 02:33.480
Let's go ahead and set the credentials that we'll need eventually to log into
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

59
02:29.600 --> 02:33.480
Let's go ahead and set the credentials that we'll need eventually to log into

60
02:33.480 --> 02:34.640
the vCenter.

61
02:34.640 --> 02:37.160
So for the credentials type, we'll click right here.

62
02:37.160 --> 02:40.040
And then from the drop down, we'll go ahead and choose vCenter.

63
02:40.040 --> 02:44.240
And now it knows that we're creating an entry effectively that we can then use

64
02:44.240 --> 02:44.480
to log

65
02:44.480 --> 02:45.320
into vCenter.

66
02:45.320 --> 02:47.560
Let's close our VCSA credentials.

67
02:47.560 --> 02:50.240
And then as we scroll down, we're going to need to put those in.

68
02:50.240 --> 02:52.760
So I've supplied the user name and the password.

69
02:52.960 --> 02:55.480
And for the entry here, I'm going to go ahead and add a little bit more,

70
02:55.480 --> 02:59.760
just remind myself of which vCenter it is to leave the vCenter.35.

71
02:59.760 --> 03:02.880
So I'm going to go ahead and just put at dot 35.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

71
02:59.760 --> 03:02.880
So I'm going to go ahead and just put at dot 35.

72
03:02.880 --> 03:06.040
And that way, when I see the name, I'll make sure I'm matching it up with the

73
03:06.040 --> 03:06.880
correct vCenter

74
03:06.880 --> 03:09.160
because I have a few of them running in my lab environment.

75
03:09.160 --> 03:11.400
So with that in place, we'll click on safe.

76
03:11.400 --> 03:12.040
All right.

77
03:12.040 --> 03:15.720
So now we have our vCenter credentials already go and we need them.

78
03:15.720 --> 03:18.560
And let's create another one for NSX environment.

79
03:18.760 --> 03:23.210
So for the NSX environment, it is the NSX manager on my management network at

80
03:23.210 --> 03:25.960
192.168.1.21.

81
03:25.960 --> 03:27.680
And the user name there is admin.

82
03:27.680 --> 03:30.680
So let's create an entry for the NSX login as well.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

82
03:27.680 --> 03:30.680
So let's create an entry for the NSX login as well.

83
03:30.680 --> 03:32.880
So we'll click on create for the type.

84
03:32.880 --> 03:35.720
We'll go ahead and use the drop down and we'll choose NSX.

85
03:35.720 --> 03:38.120
Also up on top, it has general.

86
03:38.120 --> 03:39.880
If you just scroll down, that has everything.

87
03:39.880 --> 03:43.720
And then these additional tabs, if we click on them, it's simply takes you to

88
03:43.720 --> 03:44.240
that section.

89
03:44.240 --> 03:47.920
So right now we're general so we can scroll down to NSX or you just click here.

90
03:48.120 --> 03:49.000
Take you to that section.

91
03:49.000 --> 03:54.520
So from the top, we're going to go ahead and call this credentials for NSX at

92
03:54.520 --> 03:55.800
dot 21.

93
03:55.800 --> 03:57.400
And then we'll scroll down and put the user

94
03:57.400 --> 04:01.040
and password that'll be used to log into that NSX manager.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

94
03:57.400 --> 04:01.040
and password that'll be used to log into that NSX manager.

95
04:01.040 --> 04:03.920
So with those supplied, we'll go ahead and click on save.

96
04:03.920 --> 04:08.410
So when we take the next logical step and create the logical NSX cloud and

97
04:08.410 --> 04:08.840
integrate

98
04:08.840 --> 04:12.200
the load balancer, the advanced load balancer with our NSX environment, when it

99
04:12.200 --> 04:12.880
asks us

100
04:12.880 --> 04:17.000
for credentials for logging into the NSX manager, we can simply point to these

101
04:17.200 --> 04:20.680
credentials that we are set up and they'll use those on the back end to

102
04:20.680 --> 04:21.280
interact and

103
04:21.280 --> 04:22.760
log in with those systems.

104
04:22.760 --> 04:30.820
