4.
Download the Silicom Driver for ESXi 5.1, 5.5 and 6.0 from:
5.
Copy the driver into the ESX system with SCP or SFTP, drop it on the
/tmp
directory:
# scp net-bpvm-
2.0.1.15-1OEM.510.0.0.802205.x86_64.vib root@<esx-serverip>:/tmp
6.
Deploy the VIB on the ESX system:
# esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/net-bpvm-
2.0.1.15-1OEM.510.0.0.802205.x86_64.vib --no-sig-check
NOTE
Ensure that you specify the full path to the
.vib
file.
7.
Reboot the appliance:
# reboot
8.
When the ESXI server comes back, verify that a new network adapter named “bpvm0” is listed under
Configuration >
Network Adapters
:
NOTE
ge interfaces of the silicom card will now show up with the following duplex/speed settings if disconnected:
9.
Create two standalone vSwitches, and assign the LAN interface of the bridge to one of them and the WAN interface
of the bridge to the other. (Configure both standalone switches with Promiscous Mode and as accepting all VLANs
(4065).
10.
Look around in the
Configuration > Networking
configuration to see if the bvpm0 adapter is already attached to a
standalone vSwitch that is not one of the ones created in the previous two steps. If that is the case, simply disconnect
that bvpm0 adapter from it and assign it to the vSwitch that is currently connected to the LAN interface of the virtual
Exinda by using the following command:
# esxcfg-vswitch -L bpvm0 vSwitch <NUMBER>
NOTE
It is possible that the above command could fail saying that the
bpvm0
uplink already exists or that the device is
busy. If this happens, reboot the ESXi server one more time with the
reboot
command.
11.
Connect the physical interfaces of the bridge to its peers (usually to the core switch and to the router/firewall).
12.
Exit maintenance mode (You can right click the name of the ESXi server for this purpose).
13.
Turn the Exinda ON
When the Exinda Appliancecomes back, you should see the bypass capability available and the duplex/speed
negotiations pointing to the right values. One vSwitch should have both the LAN interface of the bridge and the bpvm0
driver while the other vSwitch will have the WAN interface of the bridge, refer to the below pictures (In the below
