VMware NSX Cookbook

HA interface

The HA interface was previously known as the management interface (prior to NSX-v 6.2), and is not part of the route redistribution process by default. In addition to being able to SSH onto this interface for management purposes, it can only be done by another virtual machine on the same subnet unless static routes are configured from the HA interface. But typically, management should be done using the NSX central CLI, which will be described in greater detail in Chapter 11, Managing and Monitoring VMware NSX Platform.
