Create NSX-T Segments for System, Uplink, and Overlay Traffic

Three segments (one each for management, vMotion, and vSAN networks) are created in the VLAN transport zone by Cloud Foundation during the NSX-T workload domain creation process. You must create additional segments manually for both Edge uplinks before deploying the Edge VMs to connect nodes that send VLAN and overlay traffic. If you plan to deploy the Enterprise PKS solution, you must also create a segment for Enterprise PKS management and service networks.

Prerequisites

The table below lists sample names for segments you need to create as well as sample VLAN IDs.

Segment Name	Transport Zone	VLAN
sfo01-w-nvds01-uplink01	sfo01-esxi-vlan	0-4094
sfo01-w-nvds01-uplink02	sfo01-esxi-vlan	0-4094
sfo01-w-uplink01	sfo01-w-uplink01	1647
sfo01-w-uplink02	sfo01-w-uplink02	1648

Procedure

1. Log in to the NSX-T Manager UI with the admin user name and comnsx_admin_password.
2. Navigate to Networking > Segments.
3. On the Segments tab, click Add Segments.
4. Create a segment with the following sample values.

   Setting	Sample Value
   Segment Name	sfo01-w-uplink01
   Connected Gateway & Type	None
   Transport Zone	sfo01-w-uplink01
   VLAN	1647

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each segment to be created.
6. Create the following logical switches if you are deploying the Enterprise PKS solution. These must be created through the Advanced Networking and Security tab.

   Segment Name	Transport Zone	VLAN	Type
   pks-management	overlay-tz-ID	overlay	N/A
   pks-service	overlay-tz-ID	overlay	N/A
