Two transport zone with same NVDS name

[vSohill]

Hello,

Is there a use case for using same NVDS name under more than one Transport zone ?

[daphnissov]

No, the N-VDS names need to be unique.

You can and actually have to use the same NVDS name when you have a TN with both VLAN and Overlay backed segments.

Page 18 of the design guide:

A N-VDS can attach to both an overlay transport zone and a VLAN transport zone at the same time. In that case, those transport zones have the same N-VDS name.

But that's the same actual N-VDS object though, correct? Not two separate objects.

[mauricioamorim]

Yes, it's the same NVDS, so the same name.

The question can be a little confusing, because it says same NVDS name, not same NVDS.

[daphnissov]

Understood, although I think OP is asking about creating multiple N-VDS objects with identical names which, from my understand, is not permitted.

[mauricioamorim]

You are right. N-VDS names have to be unique.

I would say both are answers are right depending on how we interpret the question.

Thanks daphnissov and mauricioamorim
