Getting ready

To deploy the NSX Edge Services Gateway, the following prerequisites must be met:

  • The user must have an enterprise administrator or NSX administrator role
  • The NSX controllers must be deployed and available
  • A router ID must be reserved; typically the transit logical switch IP address is sufficient
  • The VXLAN-backed Portgroup (logical switch) is available to be used for the HA interface
  • The Transit logical switch (LS-TRANSIT) has been created
  • The NSX-backed PortGroup has been configured on the vSphere distributed switch
