Issue/Introduction
Is it a supported configuration to use 2 NSX bridges, 1 bridge from each NSX environment to bridge the environments to a VLAN with the gateway for the VLAN on a 3rd party router?
- Are there any potential limitations or risks introduced with this topology/configuration? For Example:
- Layer 2 loops to watch out for
- MAC address conflicts
- Unexpected traffic behavior
Environment
VMware NSX
Resolution
VMware by Broadcom does not have specific design documentation for this type of coniguration. This kind of architectural design requirement would be better suited for a Professional Services Organization (PSO) engagement. PSO would be capable of reviewing the overall architectural design of this environment, and the specific use case for this requirement. A PSO engagement may also find/recommend a more efficient method to resolve the current requirements.
