This is a continuation to my previous article on Implementing IPv4 Multicast Routing with DellEMC Networking. The previous article covered the multicast routing for VLAN Segments on vSphere DVS, in case you missed it you can find it here: https://vxplanet.com/2019/08/29/implementing-multicast-routing-between-vsphere-dvs-and-dellemc-networking/ In this article, we will extend multicast routing to NSX-V Edges, so that a multicast…… Continue reading Implementing Multicast Routing between NSX Edges and DellEMC Networking

Implementing Multicast Routing between vSphere DVS and DellEMC Networking
vSphere DVS supports IGMP & MLD Snooping functionality which helps in precise and efficient way of handling multicast forwarding by listening to IGMP messages to/from the Virtual machines. The vSphere DVS supports IGMPv1, IGMPv2 and IGMPv3 for IPv4 multicast group addresses & MLDv1 and MLDv2 for IPv6 multicast group addresses. When IGMP Snooping is enabled…… Continue reading Implementing Multicast Routing between vSphere DVS and DellEMC Networking
NSX-T Tier0 Inter-SR Routing Explained
Inter-SR Routing is an iBGP peering feature between the SR Components of the Tier 0 Gateway deployed in Active-Active mode. This feature helps to tolerate an asymmetric failure of the SR component on the Edge node by routing the internal traffic reaching to it over the iBGP inter-SR link to the SR component on the…… Continue reading NSX-T Tier0 Inter-SR Routing Explained
NSX-V and OSPF Area Types Walkthrough – See why NSSA is better for Tenants – Part 2
In Part 1, we made some observations by configuring all the NSX-V Tenants under a single Area 0. To summarize, these were the observations: Each Tenant DLR has a single uplink for North bound traffic (Uplink to ESG) and has a Default route point to the ESG. In that case, why can’t we filter out…… Continue reading NSX-V and OSPF Area Types Walkthrough – See why NSSA is better for Tenants – Part 2
NSX-V and OSPF Area Types Walkthrough – See why NSSA is better for Tenants – Part 1
NSX-V supports dynamic routing with OSPF and BGP. Both of these protocols are supported at both DLR and ESG. With OSPF/BGP you can dynamically peer the tenants that you spin up in NSX environment with the ESGs as well as with the external physical networks. This is suitable when your private cloud architecture is on…… Continue reading NSX-V and OSPF Area Types Walkthrough – See why NSSA is better for Tenants – Part 1
VMware NSX VxLAN to VLAN L2 Bridging with DellEMC Networking S5048-ON ToR Switches – Part 2
Hello everyone, hope the Part 1 was useful. Lets move on to the Hardware VTEP Gateway configuration on the S5048-ON ToR switches and validation. Setting up the NSX Replication Cluster for ToR VTEPs We need to set up a Replication Cluster in NSX which will take care of the BUM (Broadcast, Unknown Unicat and Multicast)…… Continue reading VMware NSX VxLAN to VLAN L2 Bridging with DellEMC Networking S5048-ON ToR Switches – Part 2
VMware NSX VxLAN to VLAN L2 Bridging with DellEMC Networking S5048-ON ToR Switches – Part 1
Hello everyone, I recently got to work on a specific use case requirement where the virtual clusters on the NSX logical segments on a tenant requires access to a storage lake that involves huge amounts of data transfer between the clusters and storage lake. This could be achieved via the DLR-ESG routing path via the…… Continue reading VMware NSX VxLAN to VLAN L2 Bridging with DellEMC Networking S5048-ON ToR Switches – Part 1
