Nested vLab Network Environment
In the following lab I’ll deploy a new DLR (DLR-S1-02) using a simplified procedure, some objects like Switch Ports and Router Ports will be auto generated.
The ESG have been already installed (ESG-S1-44 & ESG-S1-46) and clustered (ECL-S1-02).
On the left picture lab deployed on Part 7, on the right the new lab.
Create a new Distributed Router (Tier-0 Gateway)
Under Networking | Tier-0 Gateways click on ADD Tier-0 Gateway
- Type a DLR name
- Select HA mode
- Select Edge Cluster and click Save
T0 done
Create a New VLAN Logical Switch (Segment)
Under Networking | Segments click on ADD SEGMENT
- Type a Segment name
- Select the Transport Zone (in my case TZ-VLAN-EXT)
- Set a VLAN id and Save
Segment done!
Bind DLR on VLAN Segment (Logical Switch)
Under Networking | Tier-0 Gateways select DLR-S1-02 and click on Edit
Click/Expand INTERFACES arrow and click on Set
Create DLR interfaces
Click on ADD INTERFACE
- Type an Interface name
- Leave Type as External
- Insert an IP in CIDR format (192.168.131.44/24)
- Select the segment (in my case SEG-VLAN-EXT0)
- Select an ESG (ESG-S1-44) and Save
Click on ADD INTERFACE to add a new interface for the second ESG
- Type a Interface name
- Leave Type as External
- Insert an IP in CIDR format (192.168.131.46/24)
- Connect on the right segment (in my case SEG-VLAN-EXT0)
- Select an ESG (ESG-S1-46) and Save
…and close DLR Editing
Check results
Under Advanced Networking and Security | Switching | Switches the new protected Logical Switch is displayed
Select the LS and click on Related | Ports
We have 2 Switch Ports auto generated and protected
Under Advanced Networking and Security | Routers the new protected DLR is displayed.
Select the DLR and click on Configuration | Router Ports
Auto generated Router Ports will be displayed
Test reachability between the ESGs
Connect to the first ESG and retrieve VRF id
Try to ping from ESG-S1-44 (192.168.131.44) to ESG-S1-46 (192.168.131.46)
