NSX-T T0 VRF Lite / Gateway
Intro Introduced in NSX-T 3.0 is VRF lite also known as VRF Gateway, VRF or Virtual Routing and Forwarding allows multiple instances of routing tables to exist within the same gateway at the same time.

NSX-T 3.0 Lab Single N-VDS Edge Nodes
Intro First off I apologize for the huge blog post, when I started writing this I didn’t think it would end up so long and splitting it into multiple parts just doesn’t seem right.When I deployed my Edge Nodes during my 2.4 lab build the recommended design approach was to deploy three N-VDS switches on […]

NSX-T 3.0 Multisite vs Federation
Intro One of the most deployed features in my experience with NSX-V was Cross vCenter NSX, which allows a multisite deployment. To reduce the cost of licensing and for automated failover you can instead deploy a stretched cluster thus only requiring a single vCenter and NSX license but with the added cost of a stretched […]
NSX-T 3.0 Upgrade Enabled URPF
Intro So I noticed that after upgrading my NSX-T lab to version 3.0 that the system had re-enabled URPF on my Edge uplinks, since they are running in ECMP mode this is not a desirable configuration. I don’t know why it decided to revert the setting but it did so I’ll need to change it […]
