Select virtual distributed switch for NSX overlay networks

Select virtual distributed switch for NSX overlay networks

  • A virtual distributed switch will be configured on the VxRail cluster to manage VxRail-required networks. The NSX overlay networks can be configured to use this same virtual distributed switch, and a separate virtual distributed switch can be configured for this purpose. If a new virtual distributed switch is configured to support NSX overlay networking, then a pair of NICs must be reserved on each VxRail node to support these networks.
