NSX Edge Routing Design

In a spine-leaf design, Layer 3 traffic between leaf switches and spines is routed. Equal-cost multipath routing (ECMP) balances traffic across these paths. BGP is used to exchange routes between NSX Edge nodes and spine switches.

Layer 3/Layer 2 Boundary

In a spine-leaf design, the boundary between Layer 3 (routing) and Layer 2 (switching) is typically located at the leaf switches. This means routing decisions are made at the leaf level.

NSX Edge Placement

For optimal performance and network segmentation, NSX Edge nodes should be placed on hosts physically located in the edge and management zones of the data center. This ensures efficient traffic flow and centralizes management.

BGP in NSX

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is used for inter-domain routing in NSX environments. It enables efficient route exchange between NSX Edge nodes and other devices like spine switches.

iBGP vs eBGP

iBGP refers to routing between NSX Edge nodes within the same autonomous system (AS). eBGP is used for routing between NSX Edge nodes in different AS. This allows for flexible routing across different domains.

  • Exam focuses on VMware Cloud Foundation platform.
  • Exam guide, or blueprint, is crucial for preparation.
  • Topics needing more detailed attention were:
    • Documentation review
    • Hands-on configuration practice (multiple times)
  • Hands-on labs are helpful for practice, and redeploying configurations is useful.
  • Exam covers storage and networking as primary topics.
  • Exam does involve configuration questions, not just multiple choices.
  • Expertise with vSphere, NSX, vSAN, and VCF architecture/requirements is helpful.
  • Limitations, terminology, and requirements related to networking and storage should also be studied.
  • The exam emphasizes broad, high-level VCF knowledge.
  • Past experience implies at least 6 months of relevant VCF experience are needed for the exam.
  • Avoid focusing on SKU's and Licensing Core Counts.
