After deploying the NSX edge cluster, enable BFD on the Tier-0 gateway in NSX Manager. This is covered in VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5 on Dell VxRail.
After deployment of both domains and edge clusters is complete, the vSphere Client inventory page for this example appears as shown in the figure below.

Note: The VM named “vcf01” in the figure above is the SDDC Manager.
