vCloud with VxLAN - For Tenant VMs

Hello,

I am currently implementing vCloud with NSX for which below is infra information;

Cluster - Management

> 3 ESXi hosts > Each host with 1 IP address of VLAN-50.> 1 vDS with 2 PGs > Management/vMotion & ProdVM

> This has VMs > vCenter, SQL, NSX manager, NSX controllers, RMQ etc

> I am deciding not to use VxLAN in my Management cluster, using VLAN PG only.

Cluster - Consumer

> 6 ESXi hosts > Each host with 1 IP address of same VLAN-50 > 1 vDS with 3 PGs > Management/vMotion, ConsVMs, VxLAN

> This will host Tenant VMs that end users will be accessing via RDP or SSH

> Tenant VMs should have internet, so they can use internet for searching or download etc.

> Only Tenant VMs will be on different VLAN, i.e. VLAN-60

NSX

1) 1 NSX Manager - given VLAN-50 IP

2) 3 NSX controllers - given VLAN-50 IP

3) VTEP - 1 per host - given VLAN-50 IP

NOTE:

# We have to use only one VLAN, and i.e. this VLAN-50 for the entire management setup

# VLAN-60 only for Tenant VMs

# vDS uplinks are connected to Trunk ports of physical switch

# MTU is set to 9000

# Each host can ping each other VTEP IPs

QUESTION:

For Consumer Cluster:

I will be using VxLAN only for Consumer cluster where tenant VMs will be residing. So for this setup, I need to know configuration steps, design w.r.t to which port groups needs to be created on this vDS and how will be the internal NSX connection be etc.

Thanks

Maybe you take a deeper look into NSX getting started videos / documentations.

This is fundamental knowledge you need to know to build a vCD + NSX Setup
