Hi Mark, I forgot another question for you: do you know when nsx with mh
support will be released ?

architecture and services.  Configuration-wise, you’ll want to set
“core_plugin" to “vmware_nsx.neutron.plugins.vmware.plugin.NsxVPlugin” and
“service_plugins” should include
“neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.plugin.LoadBalancerPlugin,vmware_nsx.neutron.services.l2gateway.plugin.NSxL2GatewayPlugin”.
in your neutron.conf file and then configure the plugin options.  Most of
what you’ll need is found here:

"vmware_nsx.neutron.services.l2gateway/nsx_v_driver.NsxvL2GatewayDriver" in
line 49 since you’re using NSXv.  Then fill in the NSXv plugin
configuration options in the [nsxv] section in lines 61-181, and you may
optionally want to tinker with the [nsx_sync] section in lines 239-276. You
can ignore most of the rest as it mostly pertains to the NSX-mh and DVS
plugins.  If it’s useful I can send you some sample configs from one of my
lab setups; just let me know!
