Does Geneve Support Encryption

Hello Team,

Does Geneve Support Encryption? What I mean is, whatever packets flowing between TEPs are encrypted or not?

Thank you

Hi,

Based of this documentation : NSX-T-3.0-Security Configuration Guide-v1.0.pdf

The dataplane (GENEVE) traffic is not encrypted by NSX-T. For tenant application
level data security, it is recommended to secure traffic at the application layer.
