EVE topology Node as proxy to physical node/vm
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:12 pm
Hi.
In order to avoid having too many levels of virtualization/nesting and running into performance issues, i use eve for my network topology and my esxi hypervisors are VMs sitting at the same level as the eve VM itself. I just use the cloud bridges to bridge my traffic to the eve routers in my topo.
I was wondering if it would be possible to create nodes in eve for those esxi servers so that we get to see all of them connected as expected, but double clicking on those would open a session to the VM itself (we have connectivity to it after all via the Cloud bridges). I like the html5 client vs native by the way. (more practical)
see for example attached pic. The nodes that are turned off are the VMs (they are not eve nodes)
Is it possible or something that could be added as a feature?
