NSX-T Lab: Logical Routers / Gateways
Intro Welcome to Part 14 of the NSX-T Lab Series. In the previous post, we configured our Edge cluster.In this post we briefly discuss Logical Routers / Gateways before we setup our Tier-1 and Tier-0 Gateways. First off my apologies for the delay in getting these posts up, life and work are taking up a lot of […]
NSX-T Lab: Edge Cluster
Intro Welcome to Part 13 of the NSX-T Lab Series. In the previous post, we deployed our second edge node via an OVA deployment. This post should be really small as we now add our two Edge nodes to an Edge cluster. What is an Edge cluster? Basically an Edge cluster is a group of Edge transport nodes […]
NSX-T Lab: Edge Node OVA Deployment
Intro Welcome to Part 12 of the NSX-T Lab Series. In the previous post, we deployed our first edge node via the NSX Manager web UI. This post should really be part 11b since it’s covering the same process just in a different way this time via an OVA deployment. So why do it this way? The VMware […]
NSX-V Lab: ESG Routing Configuration
Intro Welcome to Part 15 of the NSX-V Lab Series. In the previous post, we deployed our ESG’s.In this post we will configure our Edge Services Gateways and setup dynamic routing between the DLR and ESGs and to our simulated physical routers. This is a big post so get ready! The Build As mentioned in the previous […]
NSX-V Lab: Edge Services Gateways
Intro Welcome to Part 14 of the NSX-V Lab Series. In the previous post, we created our universal Distributed Logical Router.In this post we will deploy our Edge Services Gateways and get them ready to connect them to our Distributed Logical Router and peer with our simulated physical routers. What is an Edge Services Gateway? An Edge […]
NSX-V Lab: Distributed Logical Routers
Intro Welcome to Part 13 of the NSX-V Lab Series. In the previous post, we created our Logical Switches.In this post we will configure our Distributed Logical Router and connect our test App Logical Switches to it. What is a Distributed Logical Router? A distributed logical router (DLR) is a virtual appliance that contains the routing control […]
NSX-V Lab: Logical Switches
Intro Welcome to Part 12 of the NSX-V Lab Series. In the previous post, we covered configuring our Transport Zones.In this post we will configure our Logical Switches and connect our test app to them. What is a Logical Switch? An logical switch reproduces switching functionality (unicast, multicast, broadcast) in a virtual environment completely decoupled from underlying […]
NSX-V Lab: Transport Zones
Intro Welcome to Part 11 of the NSX-V Lab Series. In the previous post, we covered configuring our secondary NSX Manager prepared our Site B hosts and configured them for VXLAN.In this post we will configure our Transport zones. What is a transport zone? A transport zone is used to define the scope of a VXLAN overlay […]
NSX-V Lab: Secondary NSX Manager Configuration
Intro Welcome to Part 10 of the NSX-V Lab Series. In the previous post, we covered configuring the Segment ID’s for both global for site A and Universal Segments.In this post we will cover configuring our secondary NSX Manager, prepared our Site B hosts and configured them for VXLAN so it’ll be a pretty large post but […]
