The NSX Edge Gateways table in Appendix G: Edge gateway configuration outlines the edge gateway settings required to support upstream connectivity.
- Assign an ASN for the workload domain edge cluster.
- Reserve hostnames for the two NSX edge nodes.
- Reserve four unused IP addresses from the management network subnet for the three NSX edge nodes and the virtual IP address to serve as the connection point for NSX management.
- Reserve two new VLANs to support the two NSX edge uplink networks for the new edge cluster.
- The VLANs must be configured on the switch trunk ports connected to the VxRail nodes.
- One VLAN is assigned to first of the two upstream router instances.
- One VLAN is assigned to the second of the two upstream router instances.
- Reserve three new IP address subnet ranges
- One subnet range for the first NSX edge uplink network
- One subnet range for the second NSX edge uplink network
- One subnet range for the NSX edge overlay network
- Assign an IP address to each edge node for the first NSX edge uplink network.
- Assign an IP address to each edge node for the second NSX edge uplink network.
- Assign two IP addresses to each edge node for the NSX edge overlay network.
- Assign two VLANs to enable BGP peering through the two NSX edge uplink networks.
