NSX Manager can be installed as KVM VMs. In addition, KVM can be used as the hypervisor for NSX-T Data Center transport nodes.

KVM guest VM management is beyond the scope of this guide. However, here are some simple KVM CLI commands to get you started.

To manage your guest VMs in the KVM CLI, use the virsh commands. Following are some common virsh commands. Refer to the KVM documentation for additional information.
# List running
virsh list 
 
# List all              
virsh list --all          

# Control instances
virsh start <instance>
virsh shutdown <instance>
virsh destroy <instance>
virsh undefine <instance>
virsh suspend <instance>
virsh resume <instance>

# Access an instance's CLI
virsh console <instance>
In the Linux CLI, the ifconfig command shows the vnetX interface, which represents the interface created for the guest VM. If you add additional guest VMs, additional vnetX interfaces are added.
ifconfig
