If the VSX gateway is attached to the management server, we use SSH-based CLI commands to fetch the VSX-managed Virtual System VS routing table to support display of the VS gateway in the VM-VM path.
- If a non-VSX physical gateway is attached to the management server, the user should have read-write access privileges for the Web API. This is required to fetch the gateway routes for using the

Web API for the VM-VM path computation. - If a VSX gateway is attached to the management server, the user should have the SSH access with the same password. In addition, the user should have access to the CLI command
vsx_util view_vs_conf
