When you create a network extension, you have the option to enable Mobility Optimized Networking (MON). MON can help to reduce network latency between VMs that have been migrated to a network extension and other network resources at the same site as that extension. By default, a VM that has been migrated to an extended …

A VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) in NSX+ is an abstraction of many of the constructs that are typically created manually in NSX. These can only be created inside user-created Projects (see Projects for a walkthrough of creating one). There is a three-tier app at Site B that is using NSX networking. The app consists of three web …
Projects in NSX and NSX+ provide a mechanism to provide multi-tenancy. An NSX+ project will be directly related to a CSP project. An NSX+ project configuration will be synced with appropriate local NSX managers based on site membership. There is a three-tier app at Site B that is using NSX networking. The app consists of …
There is a three-tier app at Site B that is using NSX networking. The app consists of three web VMs, and app VM, a DB VM and a load balancer (LB) VM. All VMs are on different networks (the three web VMs are on the same network). The app is arbitrarily named cda. There is …
Site B (nsxmanager-01b.corp.vmw) was onboarded after Site A (nsxmanager-01a.corp.vmw) in my previous posts. There is already an Edge cluster deployed and all ESXi hosts are prepped in this installation. If you’ve ever configured NAT and DFW rules in NSX before, you’ll find the process almost identical in NSX+. My goal in this series of posts …

Before you can onboard your local NSX Manger to NSX+, you need to make sure that you have a local user created with the NSX+ Onboarding role assigned (a new role in NSX 4.1.1, the first supported NSX version with NSX+). You cannot use the built-in admin account for onboarding. In the NSX Manager’s UI, …
When you purchase NSX+, or start a trial, you will get an email similar to the following (mine is for a trial): Clicking the “link” link in the email will take you to VMware’s Cloud Services Platform (CSP). You will need to pick an org to use with NSX+ or create a new one. I …
Once the VCGW appliance is deployed, you can onboard one or more vCenter Servers. For the purposes of NSX+, you’ll want to onboard the vCenter Servers that are registered as compute managers with NSX+. We left off with the VCGW appliance deployed and read to get started. Click the Get Started link. Click the Connect button. You’ll …
