28 Network Virtualization with Dell Infrastructure and VMware NSX | Version 1.2
Table 2 Logical Networks
Hosts applications with business logic. Web servers in the Web Tier talk to
the applications in the App Tier.
Hosts databases that store the data relevant to the web apps. The
applications on the App Tier talk to the databases in the DB Tier to store
and retrieve information.
Bridged-App Tier (VNI 5004)
Logical network (VNI 5004) that bridges to a non-virtualized host on the
physical network (VLAN 31). The DLR Control VM is used to provide this L2
Gateway bridging service.
Transit Network (VNI 5000)
Used to peer with the external networks and allows the NSX Edge Services
Router and DLR to exchange routing information.
NSX Edge Gateway Services can provide an additional firewall boundary between the Web Tier logical
switch, the other logical switches, and the external networks. This is represented by a perimeter firewall
service in addition to the distributed firewall capabilities provided on every logical switch. Figure 21 shows
how this would logically look if it was desired to utilize the perimeter firewall capabilities.
Note, the NSX Perimeter Edge provides services as a VM as compared to the NSX DLR, the VXLAN, and the
Distributed Firewall ESXi kernel modules which provide capabilities within the hypervisor kernel at close to
line-rate.
