Setting Up NSX Resources

Before installing NCP, you need to set up some NSX resources.

Note: When you install NSX, the default license does not allow creating or updating objects that you will need to support NCP. For more information, see the section "Add a License Key and Generate a License Usage Report" in the NSX Administration Guide.

The NSX Manager web UI provides two methods to configure networking resources: Policy mode and Manager mode. For more information, see the section "NSX Manager" in the NSX Administration Guide.

For OpenShift 4, you must use Policy mode or Policy API to configure NSX resources.

The following sections assume that you are familiar with installing and administering NSX. For more information, see the NSX Installation Guide and the NSX Administration Guide.
