This document provides instructions for accessing and configuring a Nexus 1000v VSM. It outlines steps to SSH into the VSM at IP 10.1.1.102 using username "admin" and password "cciedc01" or "Cciedc01". It also describes configuring two Nexus 5000 series switches N5K1 and N5K2 to allow VLAN 1 on various ports and interfaces to support the VSM, including the VPC peer link and ports 10 and 20. Finally, it mentions allowing VLAN 1 on the vNICs such as eth0 and eth1 of the VSM template to see the VEM after completing the outlined configuration.
