<title>VMware NSX integration</title>
<para>OpenStack Networking uses the NSX plugin for Networking to
integrate with an existing VMware vCenter deployment. When installed on
the network nodes, the NSX plugin enables a NSX controller to centrally
manage configuration settings and push them to managed network nodes.
Network nodes are considered managed when they're added as hypervisors
to the NSX controller.</para>
<para>The diagram below depicts an example NSX deployment and
illustrates the route inter-VM traffic takes between separate Compute
nodes. Note the placement of the VMware NSX plugin and the
<systemitem class="service">neutron-server</systemitem> service on the
network node. The NSX controller features centrally with a green line to
the network node to indicate the management relationship:</para>
