Given, it is somewhat of an edge case for only a hand full of customers and the problem itself is not new but here is my take. As always please do your own research before you put this untested into production.https://www.why-did-it.fail/blog/2019-04-nsx-edge-in-nsx-v-vs-nsx-t/Fri, 06 Sep 2019 00:00:00 +0000https://www.why-did-it.fail/blog/2019-04-nsx-edge-in-nsx-v-vs-nsx-t/While bringing myself up-to-date with NSX-T I struggled with the terminology in relation to my existing NSX-v knowledge. There are quite a few awesome blog posts around -v or -T and I am trying to compare the “edge” at a high level. I hesitated to make a public post out of it since I am myself quite new to NSX-T and my post may not be 100% correct, but then figured that I can just learn from the feedback.https://www.why-did-it.fail/blog/2018-01-nsxv-azure-vpn/Wed, 21 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://www.why-did-it.fail/blog/2018-01-nsxv-azure-vpn/Just a quick drop of notes on how to configure this if anyone else needs it. You probably searched the net and found tons of howtos on policy-based VPNs. However, I needed to do a route-based VPN my Azure resources with multi-devices and you can have only a single VPN-policy on a Gateway. Infos on IPSEC settings where taken from the Azure documentation - please make sure you read the fields marked important.
