Transport zones dictate which hosts and VMs can participate in the use of a particular network. The Overlay Transport zone is used for internal NSX-T Data Center tunneling between transport nodes. VLAN transport zones are used by NSX Edges and host transport nodes for uplinks external to NSX-T Data Center.
This deployment example uses the following transport zones:
Name | Traffic type |
overlay-tz | Overlay |
esxi-vlan-tz | VLAN |
edge-uplink-tz | VLAN |
To create the transport zones, perform the following steps.
