OVSDB protocol support for VXLAN Gateway Configuration Example

This example shows how to configure OVSDB protocol support for VXLAN Gateway.

Important

Important

OVSDB protocol support for VXLAN Gateway also requires an ESXi host running VMware NSX configured with a HW-VTEP, and a Logical Switch configured with VNID to HW-VTEP bindings to function. See VMware NSX documentation for more information.

Important

Important

OVSDB requires full interworking mode on the VXLAN Gateway. Changing the mode requires a reboot for the change to take effect, which can cause a loss of traffic.
