NSX-T L3 VPNs: VPNs and the effect of NAT

In this final part of our VPN series, we’ll discuss building a VPN over the Internet. More specifically, we will address the impact of Network Address Translation (NAT) on VPN traffic. Quick Review In our prior posts, we built Policy Based, Static Route Based, and Dynamic Route Based VPNs. Let’s take a look below atContinueContinue reading “NSX-T L3 VPNs: VPNs and the effect of NAT”

NSX-T L3 VPNs: Route Based VPNs – Dynamic Routing

In our previous post, we created a route based VPN utilizing static routes on a Tier-1 (T1) Service Router (SR). Today, we will demonstrate how to utilize route-based VPNs via Dynamic Routing. Dynamic Routing and VPNs In the introduction to our VPN series, we provided a flowchart identifying where a given type of VPN (eitherContinueContinue reading “NSX-T L3 VPNs: Route Based VPNs – Dynamic Routing”

NSX-T L3 VPNs: Policy Based VPNs

In our first post, we provided a L3 VPN scenario and discussed Policy and Route Based VPNs. Following this, we provided a breakdown of our lab environment that we will be using. Today, we will demonstrate how to configure a Policy Based VPN using our scenario. Policy L3 IPSec VPN scenario Simple VPN Scenario (clickContinueContinue reading “NSX-T L3 VPNs: Policy Based VPNs”

NSX-T L3 VPNs: Route Based VPNs – Static Routing

In our previous post, we showed how you can build a policy based VPN utilizing a T1 SR in NSX-T. Today, we will demonstrate how to utilize a route-based VPN via Static Routing. Before we begin… While the lab topology we’ll use today is nearly identical to what was used for our Policy Based VPNContinueContinue reading “NSX-T L3 VPNs: Route Based VPNs – Static Routing”

NSX-T Layer 3 VPNs – Lab Topology

As we’ll be reusing the scenario of securing communications between our blue VM and green server throughout the coming posts, we wanted to provide a breakdown of the lab topology that will be utilized. Our intent is to allow you to reference this material as desired via this post, rather than re-populating it over andContinueContinue reading “NSX-T Layer 3 VPNs – Lab Topology”

NSX-T Layer 3 VPNs – Introduction

In broad terms, there are two main types of Virtual Private Networking (VPN) offerings in NSX-T: Layer-3 (L3) IPSec VPN Layer-2 (L2) VPN Additionally, there are two subsets of L3 IPSec VPNs: Layer-3 (L3) IPSec VPN Policy Based Route Based Throughout an upcoming series of posts, we will breakdown both Policy Based and Route BasedContinueContinue reading “NSX-T Layer 3 VPNs – Introduction”
