Wastewater ESXi transport nodes must send TEP traffic onto the civic underlay. How does the host switch interact with the physical NICs?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The host switch is the on-ramp; the uplink profile names which physical NICs hit the street. TEP traffic rides those pNICs onto the underlay. vSAN, Horizon BLAST, and a sensor are not that on-ramp.
Full Explanation
On a transport node, the N-VDS or NSX-enabled VDS uses physical NICs listed in an uplink profile to reach the underlay that carries TEP traffic. That host-switch–uplink–underlay interaction is how overlay frames leave the hypervisor. Geneve is not confined to vSAN. Horizon BLAST and Carbon Black sensors are not NSX host uplinks.
