VMware Cross vCenter NSX Deployment
This FireOwls All-CCIE Team Installation of a CrossvCenter NSX implementation included the integration of NSX managers, Edge Services
Gateways (ESGs), Distributed Logical Routers, and logical switches.
Integration Guidelines
 |
Universal Logical Switches (ULS) are deployed to stretch networks between each data center. |
 |
A Universal Distributed Logical Router (UDLR) is deployed in each data center. An associated Locale-ID is used to control egress traffic flow for each data center virtual environment. |
 |
A Transit Universal Logical Switch (ULS) is deployed at each data center and connected to the local UDLRs and ESGs. |
 |
Edge Services Gateways (ESGs) are deployed at each data center to provide connectivity into and out of the virtual environment. ESGs can also be used to provide services like NAT, VPN, or load-balancing. |
 |
A virtual distributed switch is used to connect the hosts physical portsand infrastructure tothe virtual components. ESGs will serve as the front door to the virtual environment. |
 |
The NSX Universal Control Cluster tracks and distributes information for logical routers and switches. |
