NSX-V Load Balancer: Inline vs One-arm

  NSX-V Load Balancer: Inline vs One-arm In this post I am going to talk about the NSX-V load balancer. In particular, I wanted to talk about the difference between inline and one-arm architecture versus inline and one-arm configuration. I chose to blog about this because it seems to confuse many of my customers. I also found it quite confusing at first since the documentation doesn't provide enough detail to build an intuition on how the architecture and configuration work together to make a functioning load balancer. However, the NSX documentation is a good starting point. NSX-V's Administration Guide on page 315 explains the basics about the load balancer: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX-Data-Center-for-vSphere/6.4/nsx_64_admin.pdf This time around I decided to demonstrate how one-arm load balancer configuration and one-arm architecture differ, as well as inline configuration and inline architecture differ.
