Networking Related Question

[Krunal Sheth <Kr...@citrix.com>]

Hey everyone,

                Is there anyone who can share as to how are you executing the Networking portion in Cloudstack? We currently use Citrix Netscaler- Cisco Nexus-HPVC in series running dynamic (OSPF) protocol. My main questions is around segregation of guest networks ( Internal, external and public). Today, we do this separation in our environment using VRF's ( virtual routing and forwarding) on cisco Nexus 5596 L3 switch and it works fine but I wanted to see if there are any alternatives to this like using open v-switch technology  and if so is anyone using any other switches to do so?. Please share with me if you are using cheap/efficient  L3 switch in your environment.( Arista,extreme,pica8..??) and how do you separate the traffic?


Thanks,
Krunal
