I have covered a couple of NSX-T Federation blogs earlier. In this blog, we will setup OSPF in the underlay network as opposed to BGP. And we will setup stretched T0 Gateway with Active-Active HA mode. We will be using additional redistribution control from NSX end to ensure traffic ingresses/egresses via physical gateway in one … Continue reading NSX-T Federation Stretched T0 gateway Active-Active with locations Primary & Secondary – OSPF in physical network

NSX-T Federation provides networking and security across multiple locations. With NSX Federation, you can manage multiple NSX-T Data Center environments with a single pane of glass view, create gateways and segments that span one or more locations, and configure and enforce firewall rules consistently across locations. NSX segments (overlay networks) can span multiple locations. Span of NSX segment … Continue reading nsx-t federation stretched t0 gateway active & standby with locations primary & secondary

NSX-T VRF Gateway

VRF Gateway feature in NSX-T is similar to VRF lite feature in physical networks in the following ways: Just like there is no need of another physical router for a separate routing instance using VRF lite feature, there is no need to deploy additional edges in case of NSX-T VRF gateways. This drastically reduces the … Continue reading NSX-T VRF Gateway
