In this post we'll discuss about NSX control plane in detail. I'll describe the NSX controllers and functions along with NSX Controller workload distribution. We'll also identify the user world agent in the control plane and the control plane component interactions.
NSX Control Plane
The NSX Control plane runs in the VMware NSX Controller cluster. NSX Controller is an advanced distributed state management system that provides control plane functions for NSX logical switching and routing functions. It is the central control point for all logical switches within a network and maintains information about all hosts, logical switches (VXLANs), and distributed logical routers.
