NSX-T Mulltilocation Design Guide Clarification

emilabb88 — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 10:08:35 GMT

On design guide on page 22 figure 3-7 ( already attached) there is statement:

Segments “Blue” and “Green” are available to all locations.

The East/West routing is offered in a distributed fashion locally through the Tier-0 and Tier-1 Distributed Routers.
The North/South routing is offered by Tier-0 that are active in one location, “Blue” in Location-A and “Green” in Location-C

What does it mean?
How i understand green segments goes to public(internet) via T0 on Location-C, Blue segments go to public(internet) via T0 that resides on Location-A. Is it true?

Your understanding is correct

North-South:

Green segments go to public (internet) via T0 on Location-C, Blue segments go to public (internet) via T0 that resides on Location-A

And this wherever location the Blue or Green VMs are.

East-West:

The router attached to the Segment is distributed.

So for instance

The Location-B_VM_Blue_TopSegment talking to the Location-B_VM_Blue_BottomSegment will have its L3 traffic in Location-B only
The Location-A_VM_Green_TopSegment talking to the Location-B_VM_Green_BottomSegment will have its L3 traffic between Location-A and Location-B (not Location-C)
