I haven’t touched NSX for a good part of 5 years now, so wouldn’t risk giving you an exact answer. 🙂 One thing you could try is to spin up one of the NSX labs on https://labs.hol.vmware.com and have a look at the DVS uplink configuration there. These labs run nested (or at least they used to), and the DVS configuration they use could give you necessary clues. IIRC, nested vSphere’s NSX is configured to use VLAN 0 on “Configuring VXLAN networking” step, with vmknic teaming set to “Fail Over”.

HTH 🙂

Hi,

Can you explain a little better how to implement that solution (run nested VXLAN transport on VXLAN portgroup instead of VLAN)?

This is my current layout:

Physical ESXi
DS (mtu 1600)
DPG-LAN (vlan 1) – uplink 1 – physical nic
DPG-LAN-NESTED (vlan trunk) – uplink 1 – physical nic
VXLAN configured on vlan 4

VM-TST0 – vnic with with virtual network on …virtualwire-1-sid-5000 of distributed switch DS

Nested ESXi1 (uses DPG-LAN-NESTED as virtual network) / Nested ESXi2 (uses DPG-LAN-NESTED as virtual network)
DS-TST
DPG-TST-LAN (vlan 1) – uplink 1 – virtual nic
VXLAN configured on vlan 4

VM-TST1 – vnic with with virtual network on …virtualwire-1-sid-5000 of distributed switch DS-TST
VM-TST2 – vnic with with virtual network on …virtualwire-1-sid-5000 of distributed switch DS-TST

The only thing I’d point out is that Unleashed software is not the best. I ended up buying a controller so that I can get rid of Unleashed. Since then though all have been good.. 😉

Roughly 99% of those devices are all wireless. The R710 units handle the traffic without a hitch. Old building with thick brick walls too. The application discovery and app for your phone allows you to monitor what’s gling on with your bandwidth. They’re expensive, but 10/10 would recommend them. At least there’s no mandatory annual fee *cough* Meraki *cough*. Ubiquiti definitely a close second, but the features do have limitations to consider.
