Hello. I'm new to vShield, Vxlan and NSX and I have a couple questions. I read through http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/products/nsx/vmw-nsx-network-virtualization-design-guide.pdf but I'm still not sure if I need certain physical network hardware behind vShield and NSX in order to utilize all of the functionality.
Here is what I am looking to do. I'd like to be able to create different isolated network environments with there own individual dns, firewalling, dhcp and vlans. Would I be able to do this with just vShield and\or NSX or do I require routing\switching capable physical hardware under them?
It would be awesome if I could just set up all of these network requirements just by having hosts and a layer 2 switch with one existing vlan.
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!
