This article provides information about Juniper QFX5100/5110 HW VTEP Support for NSX Data Center for vSphere 6.4.4.
Juniper Networks NSX Layer 2 gateway services enable VXLAN-to-VLAN gateway capabilities at any tier of the data center network, from server access to the data center edge.
The Juniper solution integrates with NSX through data plane (VXLAN) and control plane (OVSDB) protocols. This integration delivers L2 gateway services that discover non-virtualized assets in the data center, enabling seamless communication with virtualized assets by linking VXLAN tunnels to VLANs in the physical network.
VMware NSX Layer 2 gateway services covered in this solution are available on Juniper Networks QFX Series access switches (QFX5100 and QFX5110). Deployed as a Virtual Tunnel End Point, or VTEP, each system registers with VMware’s NSX controller and can be configured to provide Layer 2 gateway services to any virtual network. This allows the NSX controller to coordinate the creation of VXLAN tunnels between the hypervisor and the physical switch.
