8. Service Router Active/Standby Availability In this video, we’ll take a look at the high-availability configuration of our edge cluster. And as you can see here, I’m logged into the NSX user interface, and again, I’m using the free hands-on labs available at Hol vmware.com. So let’s start by browsing to “system” and “fabric.” We’re […]

5. Demo – Configure North South Routing In this video, we’ll learn about north-south routing in a multi-tier routing environment. And if you haven’t already done so, I recommend you watch the previous video where we configured east-west routing because we’re going to be building on that here. And all of these tasks are going […]

3. NSX-T Multi-Tier Routing Architecture And let’s start by talking about the use cases. So, in multi-tier architecture, you’re going to add some complexity here. And so we have to have a good reason to do that, right? We want to keep things as simple as we possibly can, but we can make them more […]

1. Introduction to NSX-T Distributed Routing At a very high level here. So the first concept that I want to explain is the concept of east-west routing. And so when we’re talking about East-West, basically what I want you to think about is routing between systems in the same network. So for example, with NSX, […]

5. NSX Controller Tables And the big three tables are the Mactable, the ARP table, and the TEP table. So let’s start at the beginning with the ARP table. The first table shown here is our ARP table. And the ARP table is essentially saying, “Okay, every single virtual machine has a Mac address.” What […]

1. N-VDS Logical Switch layer to segments within our NVDs. So let’s start with the basics. In this case, Let’s assume that we already have four ESXi hosts that have been deployed as transport nodes. And of course, we’ve got our NSX manager nodes deployed. So we’ve got kind of the basic underlying pieces that […]

4. VLAN Transport Zone So here in this situation, we’re going to focus on VLAN transport zones. And just like in the last lesson, we have a single VLAN transport zone created here that’s associated with a group of transport notes. We have four ESXi hosts. Those are our transportation notes. At the top right, […]

1. Basic EBGP Configuration In this video, we’ll start with the basic BGP configurations. If you remember, we have done most of the IGP configurations in our previous videos. We had some IBGP configurations using full mesh and then also using router factors. And then we have also used peer groups to update those low-back […]

4. IBGP Neighbors -with Loopback Interface Now in this video, we’ll move to our next lab, Lab Two, where we are going to configure the same IBGP neighbourhood using the loopback interfaces. So, if you’re continuing from our previous lab, I’m going to remove the configurations that I did in my previous lab by simply […]

1. Understanding BGP Neighbors – Internal – External We’ll try to understand some of the concepts we’ll see in this video. Now, like I said, we’ll start with BGP neighborship. Weirdly, we have two types of neighbourhood BGP: internal BGP and external PGP. So we’ll see the differences and also try to see the basic […]
