Configuring VMware NSX Logical Switch Networks

In this chapter, you will learn how to configure VMware NSX Logical Switch Networks. We will be looking at the following recipes:

Configuring VXLAN networking
Configuring a VXLAN segment ID
Creating a NSX Transport Zone
Creating a NSX Logical Switch
Connecting a Virtual Machine to an NSX Logical Switch
Testing an NSX Logical Switch
Enabling the Controller Disconnected Operation Mode on a Transport Zone

By now, you should have a vSphere cluster that has been prepared for NSX, added the vSphere cluster onto a Virtual Distributed Switch for VXLAN, and have the physical network ready for VXLAN.
