Additional VCF NSX networks

  • VCF requires the following additional VLANs created and configured on the TOR switches connecting to VxRail nodes in the management WLD VxRail cluster.

    Note: From VCF 4.3, the Edge cluster for the management WLD is deployed as a Day-2 operation from the SDDC Manager. It is no longer deployed by Cloud Builder during the initial management WLD deployment.
