In the NSX-T Datacenter, segments are virtual layer 2 domains. With NSX-T you can do VLAN based or overlay-backed segmentation. The VLAN backed segments are usually done for bridging traffic to the devices usually outside of the NSX-T deployment. Such as gateway, physical firewall, etc. In this blog, we will discuss how easy segmentation and
Defining an active-active data-center strategy is not an easy task when you talk to network, server & compute teams who usually do not collaborate when it comes to planning their infrastructure. Most importantly, active-active data Center design requires end-to-end technology stack working together cohesively. It usually needs an enterprise-level architecture drive to establish the idea.
Using this blog “NSX-T: Exploring Distributed IDS” let’s examine distributed IDS features introduced part of NSX 3.0. and we will explore its architecture and key configuration details. Distributed intrusion detection uses network introspection to identify malicious intrusion attempts. This results in distributed intrusion detection to protects east-west traffic and detects L4 attacks. In fact, the

Network vs application-centric is the key design topic whenever you plan for Cisco’s ACI. However, most of the adopters are not very clear about the use cases. The following questions were asked. Does ACI automatically capture the application details? also, does it identifies my applications? Can ACI automate the application connectivity configurations! What is the
Why SDN? Before comparing software-defined & traditional Network – let’s understand what is causing the change. The trigger for SDN is the by-product of high demand for smart and mobile devices and the growth in virtualization and cloud platforms. if you analyze closely these new trends have significantly changed the traffic patterns within a data
