7.3.1 Distributed Logical Router Control Virtual Machine
When a distributed logical router is deployed, the logical router control virtual machine is also and it handles all control plane communications for the distributed logical router.
The distributed logical router provides a management interface configuration through the user interface, which supports management services, such as SSH, for remote connectivity. The logical router control VM communicates with the NSX Controller through a VMCI interface.
Note The logical router control VM does not have an actual IP address assigned although the management interface is connected to the same management virtual distributed switch port group as the NSX Controller.
