In the previous post, we went through basic NSX-T configurations. The next step is to deploy Edge VMs and create an Edge cluster. Before creating Edge VMs, we need to create two trunk port groups on the VDS using the VCSA web UI. Uplinks of the Edge VMs will be connected to these two trunk port groups.
- Create 2 trunk port groups on the VDS.
- "Trunk01-NSXT-Edge"
- "Trunk02-NSXT-Edge"
- Add Edge Transport Nodes.
- Create two Edge VMs "edge-01, edge-02".
- Click ADD EDGE VM, follow the wizard, and provide all the details.
- Click Finish. Follow the same process and deploy one more Edge VM.
- The next step is to create an Edge Cluster "edge-cluster-01" and add the two Edge VMs to it.
