NSX Edge - Distributed logical router design parameters

Dears,

Could someone help me to understand

  • what is the dependency or relation between DLR and management segment
  • How many DLR is possible per transport zone or per logical switch.
  • If multiple is supported is there any 'vnic' vlanid dependency ?

regards

Prasad

DLR control VMs should reside in management cluster.  1000 DLR's is the max per Transport Zone. 

Can you expand further on your questions?

Another consideration for DLR Control VM placement is whether ECMP mode is used. You should avoid placing DLR control VM on one ESXi host with ESG which is part of ECMP configuration. You may use DRS anti-affinity rules or, if there is not enough hosts in Management cluster, place DLR Control VM in Compute cluster.

Anyway, as larsonm‌ stated, you should give more details
