This Part 1 session provides an in-depth discussion of the NSX-T Logical routing feature set. The session also discusses the routing pathways for East to West and North to Routing.
This article provides information on the reasons behind transitioning from the N-VDS (NSX Virtual Distributed Switch) to the VDS. This article also provides information about the API consumption impact of moving from N-VDS to VDS (7.0) and provides various illustrations and examples.
Watch how VMware NSX enables efficient network flow of application communication utilizing inherent security versus forcing traffic to hairpin through network security.
See how VMware NSX-T provides a single pane of glass to provide visibility and consistent security policies for workloads hosted across multiple cloud environments.
In this HOL you'll look at NSX-T multi-hypervisor capabilities & learn how to configure logical switching, routing, load balancing, & distributed firewall.
This is the NSX-T Reference Design. It is the foundational overhaul to design guidance and leading best practices. The key changes are:
Platform enhancements
Enterprise to Service Provider scale routing
Resilient, Optimized and Simplified Edge Node Functionality
Native Load Balancer
Performance
Design enhancements – Small to Cloud-scale
NSX-T providesseveral tools and utilitiestosimplify daily operationsand provide the level of visibility anenterprise-grade SDN solution requires. They can be classified into three main categories:
1.Visibility-Tools providesinformation about the health and status of the NSX components, traffic statistics or visibility of the different systems connected to NSX
2.Operations-Tools and utilities focused on simplifying installation and other common tasks like upgrading the system, backup/restore or getting the corresponding support bundles
3.Troubleshooting -Tools help finding out problems or configuration issues when something does not workNSX-T also works with other VMware and 3rdparty operational tools.
Operations and visibility are key metrics that enterprise assess the risk and success of their business-critical applications. NSX-T is a software defined network platform when deployed touches every aspect of enterprise connectivity and thus understanding, leverage and building successful operational design and best practices can define a difference between a successful and a failed environment.
