This repo will host documentation which is useful for folks who are interested in exploring NSX and looking for "Getting Started with NSX" information

NSX-T - Evaluation Guide


Overview

The goal of this document is to offer a "step by step" NSX Evaluation Guide to test (some) NSX Services:

  • Security Services
    • Micro-Segmentation (DFW)
    • Identity Firewall
  • Logical Networking Services
    • Logical Switching
    • Logical Routing (with distributed routing)
  • Operation tools
    • Network Topology
    • Traceflow

NSX offers many more services, such as Load Balancing, VPN, IDS, NSX Intelligence, Federation, etc.
Those are currently out of scope of that document.

Also to limit the ESXi/Storage requirements, this evaluation does not cover high-availability and only 1 element of each NSX component will be installed.


This document table of content is:

  1. Requirements
  2. Installation of NSX
  3. NSX Evaluation
    1. Security only (no Logical Network)
    2. Logical Network + Security
    3. Operation Tools
    4. Other - Identity Firewall

Next Step: 1. Requirements
