With a Multi-TEP design, we could achieve redundancy when a TEP uplink fails instead of failing over to the Stand-by Edge node. This is the recommended configuration when we have two or more DPDK interfaces for the Baremetal…… Continue reading NSX-T Single N-VDS Multi-TEP Baremetal Edges Deployment and Configuration
