Cloud Director can not implement IPSec failover with NSX-T

Products

• VMware Cloud Director

Issue/Introduction

NSX has the native ability for IPSec VPN failover. VMware Cloud Director has no method to manage or support it.

Environment

VMware Cloud Director 10.6.0.1

Cause

As of VMware Cloud Director 10.6.0.1 and prior IPSec failover is not supported through NSX-T.

Resolution

Implementation may be worked around by directly implementing the failover in NSX. The implementation would have to be managed and supported outside of VMware Cloud Director.
