Hey guys,
I'm a little lost here with where the L2 Bridging instance lives within the environment. I understand its on a specific ESXi host - but which one, and why?
In the design guide (page 91 - paragraph above the image) it states:
"First of all, let’s recall that the L2 bridging function for a given VXLAN-VLAN pair is always performed on one specific ESXi host. Since the L2 bridge instance configuration is always associated with the configuration of a specific DLR, the active bridge functionality is performed by the specific ESXi hosts where the active control VM for that DLR is running."
My question really comes from the last sentence "Since the L2 bridge instance configuration is always associated with the configuration of a specific DLR, the active bridge functionality is performed by the specific ESXi hosts where the active control VM for that DLR is running."
What is the 'active control VM'? Are we talking about controllers, or the DLR VM? My initial guess would be the DLR VM, but I feel that's just me making a 50-50 guess
Any explanations would be very much appreciated!
