Capture settings for NSX edge gateway uplinks

  • 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 the 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.
