Mike thanks for the videos, I signed up on you udemy courses. 2 questions, will the nsx-t deploy the latest edge OVF or OVA file?. Also I did miss where you created the port group ( interfaces) when creating the edge, did it come from the vcenter?
Hi Jorge! First, NSX-T will deploy the edge OVF that comes with that manager - it's not necessarily the latest. For example, if you download the 2.5 manager, you'd be deploying whatever version of edge code was compatible/shipped with 2.5. Second, you're correct - the port groups for the edge were configured in vCenter on a VDS. That VDS needs to have jumbo MTU enabled, and in my case, I configure a couple of port groups: 1) An "AllTrunk" PG with 0-4094 VLANs, and 2) a "MGMT" PG for the Edge Management IP. Hopefully that helps.
@@jorgeabalo4054 Hi Jorge, I don't do any one-on-one sessions (it would take a lot of time, a lot of people want them). I may host a bootcamp at some point in the future though if there's enough interest.
Hi Mike. Thanks for sharing this content. Esxi host that run nsx-edg node do not to be prepare for nsx-t (no nsx-t vibs need to be installed). If i wish to use same host that runs nsx-edge to run same overlay segments that span through other prepared host is it possible.? in such case where i want to use all of my host run my VMs. should i prepare all host including (nsx-edge host).? or is it possible to attach host VMs to N-VDS that exist inside of nsx-edge node.? basically can i run my overlay network VMs at same host that runs nsx-edg node.?
Yes Majed, you can do this. You need to prep that host for NSX (since it'll be running your workload VMs). Also, if you are on older than 3.1, you will want separate TEP VLANs for your edge and Vsphere host. If you're on 3.1 those TEP/Transport VLANs can be the same. Oh! And don't forget to set Jumbo MTU on your VDS that connects to your edge.
Dear NRDY, I'm having a hard time configuring the Egde nodes in my lab environment and making them work.I see the TEP tunnel down. Do you have an email where I can contact you?
