Add Layer 2 Bridging
A Layer 2 Bridge enables connectivity between a logical switch and a VLAN, this allows virtual machines on a logical switch to be bridged to a physical server or network. Use cases for this scenario include a virtual server on a logical switch needing access to the physical network or security resources, for example a physical gateway, or firewall. To bridge a logical switch to a distributed port group please follow the directions below.
Step 1. Double click on the Distributed Logical Router (DRL) select Bridging and click the + icon to add a new bridge
Step 2. Click Publish Changes
To Modify a L2 Bridge, you can click the Pencil Icon and to Delete a L2 Bridge you can click the Red X

hi Sean ,
this is meaning by default no communication between Vlan and Vxlan ?
Yes, mokhtar, they are separate worlds.
VLAN is layer 3 and VXLAN is layer 2 overlay spanning across multiple layer 3 domains, so they are independent
Great post!.
How can I make 2 esxi hosts in 2 different subnets communicate?
Which is most appropriate…vSwitch0, new vswitch or vds?
Please tell me how to go about it. I am stuck on this in my home lab setup?
