Teaming and failover setting for VXLAN portgroup
The portgroup is configured with predefined settings (including Load Balancing settings) that depend on the options selected during the configuration.
This table shows how the portgroup is configured:
Fail Over |
Use Explicit Failover Order |
Static EtherChannel |
Route based on IP Hash |
LACP – Active Mode |
Route based on IP Hash |
LACP – Passive Mode |
Route based on IP Hash |
Caution:
- This configuration is created by vShield Manager or NSX Manager. Broadcom does not recommend changing these settings using the networking view in vCenter Server as this can cause network failures.
- Do not carry out any action on the Distributed Switch that changes or modifies this configuration.
Uplinks
When the VXLAN portgroup is created, the vShield Manager or NSX Manager database is updated with the number of Uplinks configured at the time the portgroup is created. This is only updated during the initial configuration.
Any changes made to the distributed switch in vCenter Server after this initial step are not reflected in the vShield Manager or NSX Manager database and may result in failures when creating new VXLAN backed networks.
