By using uplink profiles, you can apply consistent policy on the uplinks of the N-VDS instance on each NSX Edge appliance. The uplink profile for the NSX Edge appliances supports the VLANs for connection to physical Layer 3 devices.
Uplink profiles define policies for the links from the NSX Edge transport nodes to top of rack switches. Uplink profiles are containers for the properties or capabilities for the network adapters. Uplink profiles are applied to the N-VDS of the NSX Edge transport node.
Uplink profiles can use either load balance source or failover order teaming. If using load balance source, multiple uplinks can be active. If using failover order, only a single uplink can be active.
Teaming can be configured by using the default teaming policy or a user-defined named teaming policy. You can use named teaming policies to pin traffic segments to designated edge uplinks.
