Extending VMware NSX Logical Switch to Hardware VTEP Gateway

In this recipe, we will show you how to extend VMware NSX logical switch to a hardware VTEP Gateway port. In this example, we will bridge a logical switch called DB-Tier to leaf-01a hardware VTEP gateway on the physical port Eth1/11 on VLAN 203, as shown in the following screenshot:
