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.
