Distributed Virtual Routing

Important

Important

The following tables separate Distributed Virtual Routing support based on the role of the switch, as a Controller node or as a Leaf node. You can configure some functionality on both node types while other functionality can exist only on one node type. For example, if you can configure functionality on both node types but the switch can only operate as a Leaf node, the Controller table indicates non support of the functionality while the Leaf table indicates support of the functionality.

Because of a change in VOSS 6.0.1.2, the best practice is to use a minimum software version of 6.0.1.2 in DvR deployments.

Distributed Virtual Routing (DvR) is a technology for router redundancy in a Fabric deployment where IP subnets are stretched across multiple switches. DvR provides Default Gateway Redundancy and optimizes traffic flows to avoid traffic tromboning due to inefficient routing, thereby increasing the total routing throughput.

The topics in this section provide DvR concepts and configuration procedures.
