As we know, distributed routing capability in the VMware NSX provides an optimized and scalable way of handling East-West traffic in a data center. The NSX Edge services router provides the traditional centralized routing. What more could we need in an enterprise environment? Both these components, Distributed Logical Router (DLR) and Edge, give a cutting-edge solution in an enterprise's routing architecture. Before we start with how routing works between these solutions, let me give some quick background on routing protocols that are supported in an NSX environment, and together, we will explore an OSPF routing protocol configuration between DLR and NSX Edge. Sounds interesting? Let's get started.
