VXLAN Preparation error

I have tried preparing my environment for VXLAN and failed many times. Had tried it with 5.1 and left it at that. Now i upgraded my environment to 5.5. ESXi hosts,vCenter 5.5 and also vCNS 5.5.

Can't seem to get around the issue. I'm following the steps in this blog vCloud Director 5.1 VXLAN Configuration | VMware vCloud Blog - VMware Blogs

I don't think there's much difference with 5.1 and 5.5 preparation. It repeatedly fails with error. I had tried installing the VXLAN.zip manually with 5.1 and it still hadn't worked.

I get stuck at a step 7 where it fails to pick up a DHCP IP and we need to specify the IP manually.

If i go to Web client i don't see any tab called virtual adapters.

This is the error that shows up on events tab of the host.

And also i don't know what to enter for segment ID before preparation.

Thinking of raising an SR with VMware but i thought i will ask you guys and see if anyone has faced same issues.
