Tunnel Status

Hi,

I am a new NSX-T user.

I have a cluster contains 3 transport nodes. From NSX-T manager I can see from the tunnel status 2 Remote Transport Node only not the 3 nodes in the cluster. Is that a correct status ?

looks like that:

Ok, that window is showing VMs on the given transport node which are currently utilizing the overlay in some fashion (i.e., connected to a logical switch). The transport nodes that don't show any connected tunnels aren't running any VMs that need to tunnel their traffic. You can test by going to a transport node which shows no connected tunnels, and perform a vMotion from another host onto it. Wait 5 minutes and refresh the UI. You should now see something show up.

First of all, what version of NSX-T and where are you taking these screenshots from? I can't find those images in a 2.3 or 2.4 environment.

It looks like you have one host with no connections to the other transport nodes. Is it prepared? Need more info.

Thanks .

5 minnutes  is the min syn time between NSX and vCenter ? Can I change the time sync if my assumption is correct ?

I'm not saying the sync time is exactly 5 minutes. I'm also not suggesting you can change it. Why would you assume that's possible?
