NSX-T Bridging 101 – Part Nine: A deeper discussion on Promiscuous Mode

Way back in part three of this series, we discussed the methods available for delivering frames to an NSX bridge when using a VSS/VDS. Out of these methods, the use of ‘Promiscuous mode’ on a distributed port group (DVPG) for bridging is pretty common, and it’s understandable why: it’s a simple checkbox in the configurationContinueContinue reading “NSX-T Bridging 101 – Part Nine: A deeper discussion on Promiscuous Mode”

NSX-T Bridging 101 – Part Eight: Enabling MAC Learning on a Distributed Virtual Port Group

A few years ago we published an entire series on bridging in NSX. In the time since, we’ve had a few questions asked about part three of the series, where we discuss methods for frame delivery. In that post, we briefly touch on the ability for a virtual distributed switch in vSphere 6.7 to utilizeContinueContinue reading “NSX-T Bridging 101 – Part Eight: Enabling MAC Learning on a Distributed Virtual Port Group”

NSX-T Bridging 101 – Part Two: A Comparison between virtual and physical

In Part Two, we look at the VLAN side of the NSX-T bridge, with a specific emphasis on how a VSS/VDS handles traffic in contrast to a physical switch. A detailed look at Edge Node architecture for bridging and traffic flows is also included.
