Select the NSX-T host overlay VLAN

Select the NSX-T host overlay VLAN

    • The NSX-T host overlay VLAN must be configured on the adjacent top-of-rack switches connected to the VxRail nodes.
    • The NSX-T host overlay VLAN must be configured on the trunk ports connected to the VxRail nodes.
    • Depending on where the Layer 2/ Layer 3 boundary is in the supporting physical network, pass the NSX-T host overlay VLAN upstream through the uplinks on the adjacent top-of-rack switches to the spine switch layer.
    • Gateway IP addresses must be assigned to the switches at the Layer 2/ Layer 3 boundary to enable routing.
    • If DHCP is used to supply the IP addresses, configuring ‘dhcp helper’ is recommended on the NSX-T host overlay VLAN, if supported by the switches.
