NSX Manager pushes the desired segment configuration, but something else actually forwards frames on the civic overlay. How do those high-level components interact?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Manager writes the recipe; the transport nodes cook the packets. Control tells the data plane what to do, and hosts or Edges forward frames. Manager is not the production switch fabric.
Full Explanation
NSX Manager holds desired state on the management plane and, with the central control plane, programs transport nodes. Host and Edge data planes then forward overlay frames. Manager does not switch every production packet, vCenter HA is not the Geneve forwarding table, and Horizon does not program VTEPs.
