NSX-T supports BGP as the only dynamic routing protocol to peer the Edges (T0 Gateways) with the customer network. BGP is supported only on the Tier 0 gateways unlike NSX-V which supports dynamic routing on both the DLR and ESGs. Peering of T1 and T0 Gateways are fully managed by NSX-T and is transparent to…… Continue reading NSX-T T0 Active-Active Gateway and BGP Peering with Dell Networking ToR Switches

NSX-T Edges – Baremetal vs VM Comparison
NSX-T Edge Nodes come in two form factors – VM and Baremetal both leveraging Intel DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) acceleration for the transport and Uplink networks. Deciding which form factor to use depends upon on our use case requirements and it is good to understand the workload traffic behavior and virtualized services requirement before…… Continue reading NSX-T Edges – Baremetal vs VM Comparison
NSX-T L2 Bridging between Overlay & VLAN segments – Part 2
In Part 1 we discussed how to implement NSX-T L2 bridging between Overlay & VLAN segments using ESXi Bridge Clusters. If you didn’t get a chance to go through my previous article, you can find it here: https://vxplanet.com/2019/06/06/implementing-nsx-t-l2-bridging-between-overlay-vlan-segments-part-1/ In this post we will discuss how to implement L2 bridging using NSX-T Edge Clusters. To iterate,…… Continue reading NSX-T L2 Bridging between Overlay & VLAN segments – Part 2
NSX-T L2 Bridging between Overlay & VLAN segments – Part 1
NSX-T supports L2 bridging between Overlay logical segments and physical VLAN segments. Unlike NSX-V, NSX-T doesn’t have support for hardware VTEPs (because the ToRs are yet to support the Geneve encapsulation, they are still on VxLAN). With NSX-T, for these requirements, the option is to do an L2 Bridging on the Edges leveraging DPDK acceleration…… Continue reading NSX-T L2 Bridging between Overlay & VLAN segments – Part 1
