DLR Router deployed in lab - whats next

[tdubb123]

I was able to get a DLR deployed and I can ping across 3 subnets - web/app/db

What is next on the nsx lab? how do I get these machines access to the outside world like internet access?

right now, this is what I have

web tier - 192.168.10.x/24

app tier - 192.168.20.x/24

db tier - 192.168.30.x/24

transit - 172.16.10.x/24 --- what is this for??

these IP subnets are different from my production physical vlan subnets

my production physical vlan subents are

10.50.x.x/16

10.60.x.x/16

Do I need to make my vxlan based subents the same as my physical vlans in order for them to communicate?

If you want to get the subnets to access outside world like Internet, then you may want to deploy ESG (Edge Service Gateway) first.

The ESG (Edge Service Gateway) can act as a multi-service gateway that provides routing, firewall, NAT, etc services for your virtualized network.

You can use your transit segment to connect between your DLR and the ESG, and then establish IP routing between them over the transit segment.

You may also want to check the topology that I have built/tested before to give you some ideas at http://blog.ipcraft.net/a-multi-tenant-topology-in-vmware-nsx/

Just a suggestion and HTH..
