DLR and Controllers

[vSohill]

Hi,

Does DLR has a connections with DLR indoreder to uppdate their tables ?

[Sreec]

I'm sorry, your question is not clear .Are you asking if DLR kernel module interact with DLR Control VM ?

[vSohill]

Thank you Sreec,

My question is regarding DLR control VM and NSX Controller.

...

Or more specific:

DLR Control and Management Plane Components and Communications

NSX Routing Subsystem Components

NSX Components

In short (so you don't have too much work with a simple Google search):

For each DLR instance, there is a DLR Control VM, which is running on one of the ESXi hosts; the DLR Control VM has two communication channels:

• VMCI channel to the NSX Manager via vsfwd, which is used for configuring the Control VM
• VMCI channel to the DLR master Controller via netcpa, which is used to send the DLR’s routing table to the Controller

Thanks sk84

Does DLR Control VM need to be in the same subnet and same portgroup with the NSX manager ?
