You must create a cluster of NSX-T Edge nodes for connectivity to the external networks and for routing availability. Before creating the Edge node cluster, define a common configuration for the nodes by creating a cluster profile.

Though an Edge cluster profile is created by default during the NSX-T workload domain creation, you must create a new cluster profile so that you can modify it if required.

Procedure

  1. On the NSX-T Manager UI, navigate to System > Fabric > Profiles.
  2. On the Edge Cluster Profiles tab, click Add.
  3. Type the following values. These example values are built upon the Sample Values for Deploying NSX-T Edges.
    Setting Example Value
    Name sfo01-w-edge-cluster01-profile
    BFD Probe 1000
    BFD Allowed Hops 255
    BFD Declare Dead Multiple 3
  4. Click Add.
