vMotioning Edge Gateway and loss of network

Hi. We are doing a Greenfield deployment of NSX, and see that vmotioning and Edge gateway causes loss of traffic, I believe it was north-south only, for nearly 30 seconds I guess before it recovers or our other Edge takes over. I am not on the network team on this deployment, but is that correct? So to me that means DRS can kind of drop your network at any time. Any information I can relay back to the network team to look at it? Or am I missing something here and that is by design? Thanks,,,

Does the Notify Switch setting on the PortGroup set to yes?

Somre KB references:

We have the port groups set to notify. I was told this was because of some ospf issue when the edge gateway gets vmotioned to another host. That it is working by design. i guess I need to keep drs from touchinf those vms, and if I have to put that host in maintenance mode to update that will be a long 30 second outage. Guess I had a different idea of how non disruprive Nsx could be since it’s all distributive.
