NSX-T Manager – Active Directory Integration (LDAP) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
In this, We will integrate the NSX-T Manager with our Active Directory (AD) so We can use the Domain Account to log in instead of default admin. In an upcoming post, We will discuss how to integrate NSX-T with VMware…
NSX-T, East-West and North-South Connectivity – Demo 2 – Complete the Series
This is the last post of the series which covered NSX-T from the scratch series. We will test East-West and North-South connectivity by deploying a few VMs and attaching them to the NSX-T Overlay segments. Production Network VMs – Prod-Web-VM,…
NSX-T East-West and North-South Connectivity – Demo 1
In this post, We will configure Logical Routing and Switching in NSX-T including Static Routes to the outside network. This is the lab network setup I’m referring to. Before getting into the NSX-T configuration let’s review the physical/virtual network setup…
NSX-T, Logical Switching – Overlay and vLAN-Backed Segments
In the last post, we discussed NSX-T Logical Routing, and before We start creating T0 and T1 Routers (Gateways) in NSX-T. Let’s discuss NSX-T Logical Switching. NSX-T Switching benefits include but are not limited to flexible scalability across multi-tenancy data…
NSX-T, Logical Routing – Tier-0 and Tier-1 Gateways
Logical Router, (T0/T1) Basics The NSX-T Logical Router is the entity that allows traffic to flow East-West and Egress Out (North-South) to Public Networks. The Logical Router is a virtualized device that is distributed across the ESXi/KVM Hosts (Transport Nodes)….
NSX-T, Edge Deployment and Configuration – Edge Cluster
In the previous post, We have successfully completed, Our first NSX-T Edge Node Deployment. In this post, We will be adding a secondary NSX-T Edge Node and performing the NSX-T Edge Cluster. For POC and LAB Testing you can create…
NSX-T, Edge Deployment and Configuration (cont’d)
NSX-T, Edge Deployment and Configuration We will start the NSX-T Edge Deployment Now. Adding an NSX-T Edge Cluster – NSXT-Edge1 If you don’t have enough resources in your ESXi Servers you can disable the reservation in Advanced Resource Reservations There…
NSX-T, Edge Deployment – Prerequisites (cont’d)
NSX-T Edge Nodes NSX-T Edge in very simple terms, it’s an on/off ramp for Overlay Network. This means Outgoing Data Traffic from Overlay Network and Incoming Data Trafic into Overlay Network all travel through NSX-T Edge This is only applicable…
NSX-T, BUM Traffic and BUM Traffic Replication
When We talk about NSX-T Segments, We need to understand how they function, NSX-T Segments also function just like normal LAN Network (Layer 2 Network). Same as normal LAN it floods traffic to all of its connected devices. If you…
NSX-T Manager 3.1.x Deployment – Completing the Installation
Prepare Transport Nodes (Configure NSX in ESXi Nodes) We install NSX-T Binaries on NSXT-HA Cluster’s ESXi Hosts. The installation has been completed. You can see installed NSX VIBs (vSphere Installation Bundles), By SSH to any of the ESXi Host’s (Hereafter…
