Assign a Service Engine Group to an NSX Edge Gateway in the VMware Cloud Director Service Provider Admin Portal

Before an organization administrator can configure load balancing services on an NSX 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 edge gateway.

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

If you enabled the edge gateway with a Premium feature set, you can only configure service engine groups with Premium features. If you enabled the gateway with a Standard feature set, you can choose to use either Standard or Premium features for a service engine group and you can assign service engine groups with different feature sets to a single load balancer.

Prerequisites

• Verify that you are logged in as a system administrator.

• Enable load balancer on the NSX edge gateway.
