Hello, we run physical RDSH/Citrix servers for some of our clients. In the vCNS word, these connect to the client VLAN tagged on the physical switch ports, which allows them to communicate through to the dvPortGroups in VMware tagged with the same VLAN.
In vCD this is different however. We are using VXLAN's for the Virtual Machines. I know I can pass the VXLAN down through the switches but that's additional licensing I'd rather avoid. My thought instead was retaining a VLAN for physical boxes that connects as an interface to the NSX edge managed by vCD. This will allow traffic to be routed/firewalled through the two networks as needed.
The problem I'm facing is how to get this network into vCD. I played around with External Networks but that's not designed for that. My other option is to attach the VLAN as an interface directly in the NSX management console of vSphere web client however our VMware rep can't tell me what will happen if the edge is redeployed through vCD. There's a chance that it won't know about the interface and will not redeploy with that interface attached.
Unfortunately I'm unable to test this as theres an open ticket for edges not redeploying in vCD 9.
Has anyone done this, or is there a different way to achieve this?
