WEBVTT

1
00:00.000 --> 00:05.040
So it is time for us to begin the creation of a VRF leveraging our existing

2
00:05.040 --> 00:06.000
Tier 0 Gateway

3
00:06.000 --> 00:10.400
and we're going to start off with a VRF for our customer that we're calling

4
00:10.400 --> 00:12.000
Blue, the Blue Customer.

5
00:12.000 --> 00:16.630
And as part of that configuration for this Tier 0 Blue VRF, again, it's a

6
00:16.630 --> 00:19.000
subsection of our real Tier 0 Gateway,

7
00:19.000 --> 00:24.000
we're going to use VLAN 23 for the uplink for this customer, the Blue Customer.

8
00:24.000 --> 00:29.660
And that address base is 23.1.2, so we use .61 and .62 for the Edge 1 and Edge

9
00:29.660 --> 00:33.000
2 addresses respectively for this Blue VRF.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

9
00:29.660 --> 00:33.000
2 addresses respectively for this Blue VRF.

10
00:33.000 --> 00:37.650
So let's head over to the NSX Manager and let's create this brand new Blue VRF

11
00:37.650 --> 00:39.000
Tier 0 Gateway.

12
00:39.000 --> 00:44.540
So here in the NSX Manager we have one Tier 0 Gateway and we're about to create

13
00:44.540 --> 00:46.000
a VRF Tier 0 Gateway.

14
00:46.000 --> 00:50.580
So to do that, we're going to go over on the left to Tier 0 Gateways and then

15
00:50.580 --> 00:52.000
click on Add Gateway.

16
00:52.000 --> 00:55.000
And then from the dropdown we're going to choose VRF.

17
00:55.000 --> 00:58.290
So as part of the configuration here it's going to ask us, okay, which parent

18
00:58.290 --> 01:01.000
Tier 0 Gateway are you going to make this VRF in?
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

18
00:58.290 --> 01:01.000
Tier 0 Gateway are you going to make this VRF in?

19
01:01.000 --> 01:04.720
Now we only have one, it's called our Tier 0 Gateway, so we're going to select

20
01:04.720 --> 01:07.000
that and then let's name our VRF.

21
01:07.000 --> 01:11.900
So let's call this Blue VRF and that'll be a Tier 0 Logical Gateway for the VRF

22
01:11.900 --> 01:13.000
called Blue VRF.

23
01:13.000 --> 01:18.080
And once we selected the actual parent Tier 0 Gateway, it automatically also

24
01:18.080 --> 01:19.000
uses the same HA modes.

25
01:19.000 --> 01:23.190
We're inheriting a lot of the characteristics and attributes from that parent T

26
01:23.190 --> 01:26.000
0 Gateway, including the HA mode.

27
01:26.000 --> 01:30.000
We're also using the same edge cluster based on the parent Tier 0 Gateway.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

28
01:30.000 --> 01:33.000
So from here let's go ahead and scroll down, we'll click on Save.

29
01:33.000 --> 01:37.170
And then normally I'd say yes, we want to continue configuring because we also

30
01:37.170 --> 01:39.000
need to add the uplink interface,

31
01:39.000 --> 01:42.740
the interface connected to VLAN 23, but I just realized that we don't have that

32
01:42.740 --> 01:44.000
external segment made yet.

33
01:44.000 --> 01:48.890
So now we have this Blue VRF, there it is right there, and prior to connecting

34
01:48.890 --> 01:51.000
it to the external segment for VLAN 23,

35
01:51.000 --> 01:54.000
we need to have that VLAN back segment created.

36
01:54.000 --> 01:57.370
So on the left we're going to click right here on segments and we'll click on

37
01:57.370 --> 01:58.000
Add Segment.

38
01:58.000 --> 02:03.000
And let's call this X short for external for VLAN 23.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

38
01:58.000 --> 02:03.000
And let's call this X short for external for VLAN 23.

39
02:03.000 --> 02:05.000
And then we collapse the left hand side a little bit here.

40
02:05.000 --> 02:09.060
And then the transport zone, we'll go ahead and use our existing VLAN back

41
02:09.060 --> 02:12.000
transport zone because all of our transport nodes are already supporting that.

42
02:12.000 --> 02:17.000
And then down here for the VLAN, we're going to go ahead and put VLAN 23.

43
02:17.000 --> 02:20.000
And then we'll scroll down and we'll click on Save.

44
02:20.000 --> 02:21.000
And then we'll click on No.

45
02:21.000 --> 02:25.710
So for this external VLAN 23 segment, it's using VLAN 23, it's using this

46
02:25.710 --> 02:27.000
transport zone.

47
02:27.000 --> 02:31.680
So now that that VLAN back segment exists, let's go ahead and include Edge 1
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

47
02:27.000 --> 02:31.680
So now that that VLAN back segment exists, let's go ahead and include Edge 1

48
02:31.680 --> 02:35.000
and Edge 2 as interfaces for our VRF Blue,

49
02:35.000 --> 02:38.000
and then connect them both to this external network segment.

50
02:38.000 --> 02:41.530
So to do that, we'll expand the left hand side one more time and then go back

51
02:41.530 --> 02:43.000
to our Tier 0 gateways.

52
02:43.000 --> 02:46.000
So under Tier 0 gateways, we have our Blue VRF right here.

53
02:46.000 --> 02:49.000
We'll click on the three dots and then click on Edit.

54
02:49.000 --> 02:51.550
And then we'll scroll down and we'll say for interfaces, we want to add a

55
02:51.550 --> 02:52.000
couple.

56
02:52.000 --> 02:56.000
So we'll click on Set and then click on Add Interface.

57
02:56.000 --> 03:00.000
And the first one we'll say Edge 1 on VLAN 23.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

58
03:00.000 --> 03:03.000
That'll help remind me based on the name exactly what it is.

59
03:03.000 --> 03:05.210
And for the segment we're going to connect to, that's going to be the external

60
03:05.210 --> 03:06.000
segment for 23.

61
03:06.000 --> 03:11.620
And its IP address there is going to be 23.1.2.61 with a 24-bit mask for the

62
03:11.620 --> 03:13.000
first Edge node.

63
03:13.000 --> 03:17.320
And then for the Edge node here, we'll select Edge 1 and scroll down and click

64
03:17.320 --> 03:18.000
on Save.

65
03:18.000 --> 03:21.450
And then we'll do that again for the second Edge node, which is Edge 2, on that

66
03:21.450 --> 03:23.000
same network segment.

67
03:23.000 --> 03:25.000
So we'll click on Add Interface.

68
03:25.000 --> 03:28.000
And again, we're configuring this logical interface for Blue VRF.

69
03:28.000 --> 03:32.000
So we'll call this Edge 2 on VLAN 23.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

69
03:28.000 --> 03:32.000
So we'll call this Edge 2 on VLAN 23.

70
03:32.000 --> 03:36.000
And it's also going to be connecting that same segment, the X for VLAN 23.

71
03:36.000 --> 03:42.000
And its IP address for Edge 2 on that network segment is going to be 23.1.2.62

72
03:42.000 --> 03:43.000
with a 24-bit mask.

73
03:43.000 --> 03:45.000
We'll use Edge 2 based on our plan.

74
03:45.000 --> 03:47.000
And then we'll scroll down and click on Save.

75
03:47.000 --> 03:50.000
Alright, and then we'll scroll down and click on Close Editing.

76
03:50.000 --> 03:52.000
And then just to confirm, we could do a couple things.

77
03:52.000 --> 03:54.000
We could go back to Network Topology right here.

78
03:54.000 --> 03:56.000
And this is showing us the Blue VRF.

79
03:56.000 --> 04:00.000
Fantastic with its two logical interfaces, which are right here and here.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

80
04:00.000 --> 04:04.000
And we could also take a look at the details regarding that VRF, the Blue VRF,

81
04:04.000 --> 04:06.000
which is a Tier Xero gateway from the command line.

82
04:06.000 --> 04:08.000
So let's do that as well.

83
04:08.000 --> 04:11.000
So let's go ahead and log in once again to Edge 1.

84
04:11.000 --> 04:14.000
And here at Edge 1, let's do a Gate Gateways Press Enter.

85
04:14.000 --> 04:18.000
And there's our new Services Router for the Blue VRF right there.

86
04:18.000 --> 04:20.000
It is VRF 11.

87
04:20.000 --> 04:24.000
So if we go into that VRF with VRF Space 11, Press Enter, the prompt indicates

88
04:24.000 --> 04:27.000
we are now in VRF 11 for the Services Router.

89
04:27.000 --> 04:30.000
And then we can do a Get Route, Press Enter.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

90
04:30.000 --> 04:32.000
And there is the Directly Connected Network 2312.

91
04:32.000 --> 04:36.000
We should also be able to ping that external router from this VRF.

92
04:36.000 --> 04:38.000
Let's do a ping to 23.1.2.1.

93
04:38.000 --> 04:40.000
And that responds.

94
04:40.000 --> 04:41.000
Fantastic.

95
04:41.000 --> 04:42.000
So we'll do a Control C there.

96
04:42.000 --> 04:46.450
So now that we have this VRF configured and it has the two edge nodes as upl

97
04:46.450 --> 04:48.000
inks for VLAN 23,

98
04:48.000 --> 04:51.000
what we don't yet have is a default route.

99
04:51.000 --> 04:54.000
So let's also take a moment here in our Tier Xero Blue VRF Router.

100
04:54.000 --> 04:58.000
And let's specify a default route that's using the next top of 23.1.2.1.

101
04:58.000 --> 05:01.340
And that's the IP address that just a moment ago we pinged and verified that we
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

101
04:58.000 --> 05:01.340
And that's the IP address that just a moment ago we pinged and verified that we

102
05:01.340 --> 05:02.000
can reach.

103
05:02.000 --> 05:07.000
So let's create a default route using 23.1.2.1 as the next top.

104
05:07.000 --> 05:10.000
So here in the NSX Manager, we'll go back to our Tier Xero Gateways.

105
05:10.000 --> 05:14.000
We'll edit our Blue VRF by clicking on the three dots, clicking on Edit.

106
05:14.000 --> 05:17.000
And then we'll scroll down under Routing.

107
05:17.000 --> 05:20.000
And down under Static Routes, we'll click here on Set.

108
05:20.000 --> 05:21.000
And click on Add Static Route.

109
05:21.000 --> 05:23.000
We'll just name it Default Route.

110
05:23.000 --> 05:27.000
And the default route syntax for IPv4 is four zeros followed by a zero.

111
05:27.000 --> 05:34.000
And then we'll set the next top to 23.1.2.1 and click on Add.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

111
05:27.000 --> 05:34.000
And then we'll set the next top to 23.1.2.1 and click on Add.

112
05:34.000 --> 05:40.200
And then click on Apply and Save and Close and scroll down and click on Close

113
05:40.200 --> 05:41.000
Editing.

114
05:41.000 --> 05:47.000
And let's verify that default route shows up in the Blue VRF Tier Xero Gateway.

115
05:47.000 --> 05:50.000
So right here, still not same VRF that we were a moment ago.

116
05:50.000 --> 05:51.000
Let's go ahead and do a Git route.

117
05:51.000 --> 05:53.000
And we should now have a default route.

118
05:53.000 --> 05:56.000
And there it is right there with the next top of 23.1.2.1.

119
05:56.000 --> 06:01.000
And let's also do a ping out to 8888 and press Enter.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

119
05:56.000 --> 06:01.000
And let's also do a ping out to 8888 and press Enter.

120
06:01.000 --> 06:02.000
And that's working.

121
06:02.000 --> 06:05.110
And that's going all the way out through our infrastructure out to the public

122
06:05.110 --> 06:06.000
internet.

123
06:06.000 --> 06:07.000
So that looks fantastic.

124
06:07.000 --> 06:11.000
So now we have the Blue VRF Tier Xero Gateway configured.

125
06:11.000 --> 06:14.010
We also verified our connectivity out to the internet with the default route

126
06:14.010 --> 06:15.000
that we added.

127
06:15.000 --> 06:19.000
So our next logical step is to go down one level to our Tier 1 level.

128
06:19.000 --> 06:22.000
And we'll create a Tier 1 router that's associated with the Blue VRF.

129
06:22.000 --> 06:27.400
So the routes and the networks connected to the Blue VRF or to his downstream

130
06:27.400 --> 06:28.000
Tier 1 Gateway

131
06:28.000 --> 06:29.000
in that same VRF.

132
06:29.000 --> 06:33.000
Any routes that we add here are going to be isolated in part of the Blue VRF.
WEBVTT
X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000

132
06:29.000 --> 06:33.000
Any routes that we add here are going to be isolated in part of the Blue VRF.

133
06:33.000 --> 06:36.000
So I'll see you in the next video as we continue to the next step.

134
06:36.000 --> 06:40.000
And that is to deploy the T1 router for the Blue VRF.

135
06:40.000 --> 06:57.740
your F.
