I’m working on an NSX-T 2.5 design for a customer. Since there are some changes with the load balancing options and design scenarios for Edge Node VMs and N-VDS, I first wanted to know what was changed, and how did it work.
Named Teaming Policies is a feature in that was introduced in NSX-T 2.3 and since NSX-T 2.4 a N-VDS can have multiple Named Teaming Policies attached. This section becomes now even more interesting since the NSX-T Edge Node recommended design has changed with NSX-T 2.5. See this blogpost from Rutger Blom to gain more information about this change.
In this blogpost I’m only focusing on the load balancing part itself when you make use of multiple teaming policies and not how to configure it.
