hsc
Syntax
hsc
no hsc
Description
Creates a hardware switch controller (HSC) and changes to the
config-hsc
context for it. The switch uses the HSC to communicate with a remote controller (such as VMware NSX) to create an extended a layer 2 VXLAN network.
The HSC runs an open-source OVSDB server. OVSDB is the Open vSwitch Database Management Protocol detailed in RFC 7047. The remote controller connects to the server as an OVSDB client, and is responsible for managing the interaction with the HSC. As a result, the remote controller is known as the HSC manager.
The
no
form of this command removes the HDC controller and deletes all configuration settings.
