Before an organization administrator can configure load balancing services on an NSX-T Data Center edge gateway, a system administrator must assign a service engine group to the edge gateway.

The load balancing compute infrastructure provided by NSX Advanced Load Balancer is organized into service engine groups. A system administrator can assign one or more service engine groups to an NSX-T Data Center edge gateway.

All service engine groups that are assigned to a single edge gateway use the same service network.
