Hello folks,
I am trying to go over a simple NSX-T Stretched Networking configuration i have the next:
I can see that when you configure the RTEP for the first time it asks you to select the Host Switch and then to specify a VLAN, IP Pool, etc. From these requirements and knowing the limitations of NSX-T related to Transport Zones i cannot add a new Overlay Transport Zone and connect the RTEP there so i have the next doubts:
From those queries i think i can keep working on the configuration as i am getting confused on those topics.
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
So after trying multiple configurations finally at made it work using the RTEP configuration in the VLAN Transport Zone which i assume is the correct place where to configure as when you configure for the first time it ask you to specify the VLAN and in my case i was tagging a different VLAN in the Uplink Profile where the Overlay Transport zone was configured.
However i could not find any place in the NSX-T documentation where it talks about the requirements for the transport zone to use for the RTEPs which it was quite frustrating at least for me.
UPDATE:
So after creating a new Uplink Profile, specifying the VLAN for Overlay and connecting the vNIC2 to a VDS Trunk Portgroup the RTEP connectivity started to flow and i can see that the Edges can reach the remote endpoints.
However i am still confused about the Transport Zone requirement because i can see that as part of the configuration it automatically created a new Transport Zone called (system-owned-rtep..) I do not know if it is okay for the RTEP to share the same N-VDS as the Overlay Transport Zone or the VLAN Transport Zone.
