Configuring VLAN on a Bare Metal NSX Advanced Load Balancer supports VLAN trunking on baremetal servers. If the Controller is deployed on a bare metal server, the individual physical links of the server can be configured to support 802.1q-tagged VLANs. Each VLAN interface has its own IP address. Multiple VLAN interfaces per physical link are supported.
Configuring Port Channel on Linux Server Hosts NSX Advanced Load Balancer on Linux server (bare metal) cloud supports port channel (bond) interfaces. A port channel interface groups multiple physical interfaces into a single logical interface and provides fault tolerance, bandwidth aggregation, and traffic load balancing. A port channel interface can be configured with an IP address and VLAN trunking. Up to eight physical links can be grouped into a single port channel interface.
