Getting Started with NSX T: Logical Routing and Switching

<p></p><p>This primer on NSX-T helps you understand the capabilities and features of NSX-T, how to configure and manage NSX-T, and integrate NSX-T with other software. The book is the first in a series that will teach you the basics of NSX-T, which is an update of VMware's original software-defined networking (SDN) architecture aimed at making networks agile and flexible.</p><p>You will become familiar with VMware's software-defined data center (SDDC) ecosystem and how NSX-T fits in. You will understand NSX-T components such as NSX-T Manager, NSX-T Edge Transport Nodes, and NSX-T Host Transport Nodes. And you will learn how to install and configure network services such as East/West and North/South routing capabilities, layer two switching, VRF, EVPN, multicast, and layer two bridging.</p><p>The book provides best practices on how to configure routing and switching features, and teaches you how to get the required visibility of not only your NSX-T platform but also your NSX-T-enabled network infrastructure.  </p><p>The book explains security, advanced network features, and multi-site capabilities and demonstrates how network and security services can be offered across multiple on-premise locations with a single pane of glass for networking and security policy management. The interface with public cloud services is discussed and the book explains NSX-T operation in an on-premise private cloud and positioning and integrating NSX-T on a public cloud (off premises).</p><p><strong><br></strong></p><p><strong>What You Will Learn </strong></p><ul><li>Understand how NSX-T fits in the VMware SDDC ecosystem</li><li>Know what NSX-T is, its components, and the terminology used</li><li>Install NSX-T</li><li>Configure NSX-T network services</li><li>Manage the NSX-T network</li></ul><p></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Who This Book Is For</strong></p><p>Virtualization administrators, system integrators, and network administrators</p><p></p>
