Edge NSX Gateway substitutes

The NSX Edge Gateway can be used for North - South services of firewall, NAT and so on.  If I already use Palo Alto firewall physical, and I want the devices that their BONES offer for North South Firewalling, can I use a firewall VIRTUAL in Palo Alto in conjunction with edge NSX to provide the NAT and firewall North-South instead of edge NSX?

(I know firewall Palo Alto VM-1000 can be used to improve the NSX Distributed Firewall by installing it on every host - that is not what I mean here - I want to see if I can use Palo Alto for North South firewalls to get rid completely of edge NSX gateway)

TheVMinator, I personally have not enough knowledge with Palo Alto firewall physical or PAN OS to determine how it should be best used with NSX. However, you mentioned wanting to reduce the complexity of the deployment of new tenants, and that can certainly be realized using ESG. One ESG configuration will easily allow up to 9 virtual tenants to deploy out of it, and if you need more than 9 tenants, you can deploy an ESG aggregation layer that will be able to support up to 9 ESG tenant for scalability. A diagram of this topology can be seen here,

https://richdowling.WordPress.com/2014/10/09/objective-2-1-define-benefits-of-running-VMware-NSX-on-physical-network-fabrics/

Combined with many other features ESG comes with, you may or may not, I think it is a must for any infrastructure NSX. Even if the physical firewall of Palo Alto offers many more capabilities than ESG firewall does, there very few reasons why you should avoid deploying ESG quite in my opinion.

  • What is the default user name and password of the dynamically created edge NSX gateway?

    Hello

    I do not know the password by default, but you can either define easily. Just go to the network security &--> NSX edges, select your edge, click actions and identification of Climate change information. You can also enable SSH from there.

  • Current uninstall stuck

    I went to prepare a cluster but the hosts never fully installed. I thought I would uninstall and give him another chance. All hosts in the cluster are now 'In progress' with the State of the cluster "uninstall." It has been like this for more than a day now. I rebooted all hosts several times and checked that the VIBs have been removed. So the Director and the controllers were restarted. Is anyway to reset the cluster or complete the task of deleting?

    Thank you

    Will be

    The vibs had already been uninstalled, but the task was still hanging. I was able to work around this problem by cutting each host and adding to a different cluster. I deleted cluster that was stuck and was able to prepare the hosts in a cluster. He even kept track of edge NSX gateways that were on the hosts when they moved. The only thing I lost was the VM folder structure. The hosts installed without problems and have been added in my area of transport.

  • NSX - Ping issues between DLR and edge gateway on the network of public transport

    Hello

    I have deployed an NSX in a POC environment and have a few weird questions. I sent a distributed router (DLR) with 2 internal interfaces (related to the segments of NW app & web) and an uplink interface connected to a network of transit (192.168.10.0/29). I have also deployed a gateway of Edge services with an internal link connected to the same interface of transit (192.168.10.0/29) and an interface of uplink connected to the outside world.

    The question is, when I PuTTY on the Edge service gateway and ping interface uplink of the DLR using sound transit (192.168.10.2) network ip address, I do not get a response. The firewall is configured to accept all traffic on the DLR and the edge.

    Someone at - it ideas? Note that the DLR has been configured default gateway pointing to the IP of the gateway of the Edge on the network of public transport (as is the only North DLR connection)

    See you soon

    A rough drawing of the topology is attached. Ping fails to 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.2

    FYI - has proved to be a problem with the NSX 6.1.2 that attaches to 6.1.3. No KB for the issue for the time being, nor is he mentioned as being fixed at 6.1.3 in the notes but VMware engineer GSS confirmed that its fixed.

  • NSX in the existing network of EIGRP.

    Since EIGRP is implemented Protocol. How edge NSX will make the delivery, if she needed a redistribution, what are the caveats in the highly critical data center environment where EIGRP uses RP.

    Hi Hendrickx,

    The edges of the NSX does not support the EIGRP directly so you indeed need a router at the front which makes the redistribution of EIGRP for IBGP, OSPF or ISIS (in case you're peering with the on-board service gateway).

    I don't think there are really warnings as long as the roads are propagated.

    I would, however, test a few cases of use (convergence for example) in a PoC environment.

  • List edge bridges and their version - PowerCLI

    I'm looking for a way to list all the bridges of edge deployed in all my ORG CDV in my vCD 5.6.4 instance.

    Does anyone have any documentation or examples of how I can find these gateways of edge and their versions using PowerCLI?

    vCD 5.6.4 facilitate really whether the bridge aboard is obsolete.  I know that I can browse vShield Manager, but this interface is not as attractive to use when there is a few hundred edge existing gateways.  A way to find this information using PowerCLI would allow me to list, sort and inform customers.

    It makes it much easier to upgrade as well if we have bridges of edge to date.

  • Any type of field to add Application Profile for the ESG load balancer? (REST API)

  • Assignment of IP with vCAC external network profile

    I joined vCAC and NSX, and note that the Service Edge router that gets deployed on a blueprint multi-machine receives 2 IP addresses on its unique "uplink" profile external network interface.  Here is my setup and what is happening.  Any help to understand why this would be useful.  Not a huge deal because it is a learning laboratory, but when I go to implement it in a production environment, I need to know if this is expected behavior, or if something is wrong because it effectively reduces the number of possible networks to deploy-able by half.  Again, not a big problem as this "transport network" (the section between the Edge Gateway manually deployed and dynamic Service Edge routers) will exist entirely in the vSphere environment and can be as big as a class A network, if necessary, it is however a huge waste of space IP I want to solve it if possible.

    Topology:

    I have a NSX Edge and the virtual wire (switch NSX L2) already deployed in the environment.  Within vCAC I have:

    -a reserve related to the dvPortGroup created by the NSX L2 switch

    -an external network profile that is used to configure the port to uplink of dynamically deployed NSX routers edge of Service to connect to the LAN segment between the dynamic ESR and the switch of NSX Edge/L2, already deployed

    -a profile of NAT network 1 number which is used to configure the virtual machines deployed from vCAC plans

    -a vSphere vCAC VM blueprint pointing to a snapshot of a virtual computer within the environment vSphere (linked clone deployment)

    -a plan of multi-machine vCAC which contains the above plan and assigns a network interface to the virtual machine and using the profile of network NAT 1 to configure the IP settings on the virtual machine.  MM master plan contains only a single VM in order to test the dynamic creation of network and IP assignment features/integration between vCAC and NSX.

    Topology resulting, once the virtual computer is deployed:

    Edge (deployed manually) NSX gateway

    v

    v

    NSX L2 Switch/Virtual Wire (deployed manually

    v

    v

    NSX edge router Service (deployed as part of the deployment of the vCAC action plan)

    v

    v

    VM (deployed as part of the deployment of the vCAC action plan)

    In theory what needs to happen is that when I ask a resource of the Architecture SDSE MM:

    1. the ESR is deployed with 2 interfaces: 1 for the external network configured with an IP address available on the corresponding subnet and 1 for internal NAT network configured with the IP address of the default gateway is configured in the profile of NAT network.

    2 NAT rules and treatment of traffic are automatically configured in the ESR

    3. the virtual computer is deployed and configured with a NETWORK adapter with the configurations appropriate IP such as specified in the profile of NAT network.


    What is actually happening:
    1. the ESR gets deployed with 2 network cards; 1 NETWORK card for uplink to the external network, which gets 2 IP addresses on the subnet (instead of 1) 13 and 1 NIC for the default gateway of the NAT had network configured with the IP address of the NAT network default gateway.  Steps 2 and 3 still occur.

    Hi Jeremy,.

    It is the expected behavior. If you deploy an edge manually, you will be asked for a 'IP management', and then an IP address for the use of the uplink. It is the second IP source address. If you were to use a NAT, you get an additional IP address for each VM on the NAT's segment.

  • DLR control VM issue

    Hello Experts,

    I'm listening to VMworld 2014 - Networking: NSX for logical routing vSphere Deep Dive and came across this slide.

    NSX-DLR.PNG

    In above slide speaker says this DLR control THAT VM is never in the path of data between NSX Edge and logical network behind DLR. In case when DLR does OSPF adjacency with edge NSX, it must send LSA type 5 for 172.16.10/20/30.0/24 subnets because NSX edge must use 192.168.10.2 as the next hop to bypass the control DLR VM from the data path. That also means DLR VM control cannot send Type 5 LSAS when OSPF.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    NSX supports 2 types of OSPF, Normal areas and NSSA.

    If your DLR and the GSS are in an NSSA and you redistribute your DLR connected routes, they will be 7 Type LSA and appear on the GSS as 'N2 - type external OSPF NSSA 2' roads.

    If your DLR and the GSS are defined for an OSPF from Normal area, then you are right, they will be 5 Type LSA.

    Hi FredrickGu,

    Really sorry for the late reply. Our working hours doesn't seem to be the same.

    You are right that VShield Manager & POSSIBLE are the same. You will be able to deploy the Cluster edges & host view,

    Select a resource of data centers in the inventory tree, click the visualization of network tab and click the + to add edges. Ensure that we test the edge deployment against a successful VCD Host.If deployment works, it confirms the deployment of edge is certainly intact and communication POSSIBLE-host is very well.
