NSX-T Logical Routing Fortify Your Understanding to Amplify Your Success

<p>This book is a one-stop guide for IT professionals with a background in traditional and software-defined networks looking to expand or hone their skill set and has been developed through a combination of extensive research and testing in both development and production environments. It provides reliable information on a fundamental component of NSX-T, logical routing.</p>A comprehensive understanding of this capability will help IT professionals with design, implementation, troubleshooting, and enhancements.<p></p><p>The book starts with an introduction to the foundational components of the NSX-T platform and how NSX-T fits into the software-defined data center. The focus then moves to tunnel endpoints, which is a critical aspect of the NSX-T platform, and the differences between overlays and underlays are explained. Once the basics are covered, it provides a detailed description of how NSX-T components communicate.</p><p>Next, the book introduces logical routing and its componentsand provides a better understanding of how these components function with one another. Several packet walks are illustrated to explain NSX-T logical routing behavior in different scenarios. After mastering logical routing, it explains how NSX-T ensures data plane availability, which is explored at various layers of NSX-T.</p><p>Finally, the book explores the concepts and intricacies of routing into and out of the NSX-T environment. It deep dives into utilizing the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Static Routing.</p><p><b>What You Will Learn</b></p><ul><li>Know how VMware NSX-T endpoints communicate<br></li> <li>Understand how NSX-T logical routing works</li> <li>Know how NSX-T provides high availability for the data plane</li> <li>Understand how NSX-T operates with static and dynamic routing protocols</li><li>Configure the platform</li></ul><p></p><p></p><ul> </ul><br><b>Who This Book Is For</b><br><p></p><p>Readers with an intermediate to advanced skill set who wish to further their knowledge, those who focus on datacenter technology, those planning to move to a software-defined datacenter to transform the way their current datacenter works, and anyone looking to learn about VMware NSX-T and how it operates</p><p><br></p>
