VxLAN Gateway products

[andrea.dupuy]

Hello,

I have a simply question, because this point is not necessarely clear in datasheets.

Can I install a VxLAN Gateway with the virtual switch Cisco Nexus 1000 V or this option is only available on the Cisco Nexus 1010 or 1100?

The goal of this question is I want connect two different datacenters between them. I think I must use the VxLAN Gateway for doing that right?

Thank you for future answers.

Andrea

You have other technologies to interconnect DCs, there are some cons/pros , choose the best to fit your design/purpose

Microsoft and VMware have proposed the GENEVE encapsulation protocol to the IETF. It would standardize tunneling methods for network overlay software.
