I am looking at replacing my phy routers with NSX, but I need PIM, IGMPV2,&V3
Quick look through the doco doesn't mention these capabilities
HI AlexisYB,
NSX does not require multicast (IGMP/PIM) in the upstream physical network to for its own functions (when NSX Controllers are part of the solution), but also (as of the latest release) NSX does not provide IGMP Snooping Querier/PIM functionality for the networks it services..
So what you are saying is if I have a network that utilises multicast routing I can't replace it with NSX...
Any idea if there are plans to change this ?
Multicast Routing is on the NSX roadmap, in the meanwhile it is possible to use L2 Bridging so a VXLAN logical switch can leverage multicast from the physical network.
