Graphman, an Amazing Tool for Migrating Layer7 Gateway Configuration to the Cloud, by Geoffrey Duck

By Pamela Deason posted 10 days ago
Be the first person to recommend this.
Over the past few months, I have been working with several customers who share a common goal.. They are operating across multiple environments, including VMWare-based systems, software-installed gateways, and cloud-native Kubernetes platforms. The overarching theme is their need for a dynamic configuration that is maintainable, able to be quickly replicated, and easy to implement in a CI/CD pipeline.

Be the first person to recommend this.
MTUs in NSX The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the size of the largest frame/packet an interface can receive or send. Because traffic from one endpoint to another goes through several devices in a data center, there are also several interdependent MTU configurations that need to be managed. NSX overlay model introduces an almost requirement for changing the MTU of the physical networking infrastructure. The goal for this document is to clarify the relation between the different MTUs at stake and to give some simple recommendation for their respective values in the context of NSX.

NSX Edge Bridge White Paper

By Francois Tallet posted 14 days ago
Be the first person to recommend this.
NSX Edge Bridge White Paper NSX leverages the overlay model, where layer 2 connectivity between virtual machines (VMs) is achieved using point-to-point tunnels over a traditional routed IP network. This provides the last building block for a complete virtualization of the datacenter, where a solution can be deployed programmatically with no dependency on the physical infrastructure. Even in highly virtualized environments, customers often have some few workloads that cannot be virtualized, because of licensing or application-specific reasons. Those VLAN backed workloads typically communicate with overlay backed VMs at layer 3, through Tier0 gateways instantiated ...
