The municipal innovation loft runs mixed ESXi and KVM hosts on one NSX-T fabric. On the KVM hosts, which virtual-switch building block does NSX-T use?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
NSX-T is the multi-hypervisor product: ESXi gets an N-VDS or prepared VDS, and KVM gets Open vSwitch. A vSphere standard switch does not move to KVM, and Instant Clone or a sensor is not that switch.
Full Explanation
NSX-T supports multiple hypervisors, and on KVM transport nodes the virtual-switch building block is Open vSwitch (OVS), which NSX programs for overlay and VLAN traffic. A vSphere Standard Switch exists only on ESXi and is a reminder that NSX-T is not vSphere-only NSX-V. Horizon Instant Clone and Carbon Black sensors do not replace OVS as the KVM host switch.
