In my previous blog (Fun in the Lab: FTDv & FMC – Install and Deploy) we deployed a FMC VM and a FTDv VM and ended the blog with the FTDv successfully added to the FMC.

Now?  Now let’s add IP addressing for the FTDv and also set up routing protocol neighbor relationships.  I learned what I am about to show you from my co-worker and friend, Keith Brister.  So don’t thank me, thank Keith.  🙂

I tossed together a ~29 minute YouTube.  Obviously you can watch the entire thing.  Or… here you go for the big sections.

• Overview – Start to 2:17 minutes
• Physical/Logical Mapping Overview – 2:18 to 9:25
• vSwitches, vmNICs and More in VMware – 9:26 to 16:20
• FTDv Configuring IP Adresses via FMC – 16:21 to 23:18
• FTDv Configuring IP Routing via FMC – 23:19 to 29:29

Done and Done.  Easy Peasy!
