VxRail Multi-Rack Leaf-Spine SmartFabric Services

Hi,

We are looking to deploy our new VxRail clusters in the Multi-Rack Leaf-Spine with L2 Overlay configuration, using SmartFabric Services, as we are also getting new Dell switches (S5232F-ON / S5248F-ON / S4148T-ON).

I found this support matrix - https://www.dell.com/support/article/en-uk/sln321642/smartfabric-os10-solutions-hci-storage-mx-support-matrix?lang=en - but the 'VxRail with SmartFabric Services' section mentions that NSX and VxRail L3 Everywhere are unsupported.

To what level is NSX (assume NSX-V) unsupported? Can I use NSX-T if I split my 4 x 25Gbps NICs as 2 & 2 with the first pair on one vDS for only ESXi Management/vMotion/vSAN in the SFS switch hardware VXLAN overlay and the second pair on a different vDS; that is devoted to NSX-T Geneve overlays (but physically connected to the same Dell switches, but in 'normal' VLANs)?

Also, what is 'VxRail L3 Everywhere (for vSAN/vMotion)' I cannot find ANY other reference to it with Google?

Thanks
