NSX-T integration with SONiC switches

Dear all,

We have chosen SONiC as the network operating system for our data center switching fabric. In the first phase, we deployed over 250 switches in 3 x Data Centers.

We worked on the detailed architecture and design of our network and in particular how to integrate SONiC switches with NSX T0 routers in our datacenters.

Have any of you taken this approach and would you like to share your experience?


Thank you very much,

Philippe

Dear all

As I mentioned in my last post, we migrated from Cisco Nexus to SONIC switches. My colleague Julien has published in his blog how our migration was planned. Enjoy reading!

We are curently moving our physical Datacenter network from Cisco Nexus to the OpenSwitch SONiC solution provided by Dell/Broadcom. We manage and administrate our switches through Apstra Juniper.
