NSX-T Multisite Requirements and Limitations
Summary of requirements (1/2)

• Site to Site traffic

• Cross-Site
– Latency (RTT) < 150 ms between sites
– Bandwidth large enough to accommodate Cross-Site Management Plane + Data Plane (See Notes)
• MTU at least 1600 bytes (recommended 9000)
• IP + FW connectivity
– For Management between NSX-T Managers and Transport Nodes
– For Data Plane between Transport Nodes

• For NSX-T Manager recovery

• Continuous backup
• Specific requirement for Automatic Recovery of • Specific requirement in case of no VLAN Mgt
Management plane stretched between Sites
– VLAN Mgt stretched between Sites – DNS name resolution for NSX-T Managers
– vSphere HA across sites for NSX-T Managers VMs
Confidential │ ©2019 VMware, Inc. 20
NSX-T Multisite Requirements and Limitations
Summary of requirements (2/2)

• For Data Plane recovery

• Public IP@ (NAT, LB, etc) must be advertisable from both locations
– In case of different Internet Providers (Verizon in Site-A and Orange in Site-B), both will advertise the public IP@ when
then turn Active. In such case, be sure the public IP@ belong to the customer and not the Internet Provider.
• Specific requirement for Automatic Recovery of Data plane
– Maximum latency between sites 10 ms

• Cloud Management System (vRA/VIO/vCD)

• No specific requirement on CMS other than NSX-T plugin

Confidential │ ©2019 VMware, Inc. 21

NSX-T Multisite Requirements and Limitations
Summary of limitations

• No Local-egress capabilities (100% North/South traffic goes via 1 site)

• Compute DR orchestration must support NSX-T

– SRM support for NSX-T from SRM 8.1.2.

• In case of Automatic Recovery of Data Plane

– T0 Active/Standby HA Mode + failover mode preemptive to guarantee no asymmetric routing
– T0 Active/Active HA Mode if asymmetric routing acceptable (like 2 buildings in metropolitan region)
