Recently I posted the Network Virtualization Design Guide that provides details on the different components of VMware’s VXLAN based network virtualization solution. The guide also discusses the packet flow and design considerations while deploying VXLAN in an existing and a green field environment.
To accompany this design guide we have put together a VXLAN deployment guide that provides more detail on how to prepare your clusters and existing networks and how to consume logical networks. The consumption of logical networks is shown through the vCloud Networking and Security Manager and vCenter Server UI. Those who are using vCloud Director in their environment the consumption of VXLAN network pool is similar to the consumption of any other type of network pool. The VXLAN preparation process in vCloud Director deployment is same as described in this paper.
