  • 1.  Advanced load balancing T1

    Posted Dec 14, 2022 09:34 PM

    Hello all,

    I have an NSX-T environment for several customers. Each customer have a VRF lite with, one or more T1's.

    My question is:

    On the deployment of advanced load balancer, i only create one T1 under the T0 and on that T1 i will have all the SE, or for each customer, under his VRF, i will create a T1 for his SE's and instead of having one NSX-T cloud i will have an NSX-T cloud for each customer?

    Many thanks.

    Regards.

    Every SE as VM is having 1 mgmt + 9 data vNICs. Probably you will use one T1 as mgmt only, providing NSX ALB controller mgmt connection to every SE. Regarding data part - per deployment guide (https://avinetworks.com/docs/latest/nsx-t-design-guide/) you can use dedicated or shared segment for hosting data plane on SE groups.

    Regarding NSX clouds under NSX ALB actually there is only 1:1 mapping between SE data transport zones and NSX cloud you're building - only in case you have designed multiple transport zones you will have to use multiple clouds, like you mentioned.

    At the end, be aware about multi-tenancy support inside NSX ALB as well, which could give you more ideas about fulfilling specific scenarios that you have:
