This section describes the system requirements for NSX Data Center for vSphere as well as the ports that must be open.

System Requirements for NSX Data Center for vSphere
Before you install or upgrade NSX Data Center for vSphere, consider your network configuration and resources. You can install one NSX Manager per vCenter Server, one instance of Guest Introspection per ESXi host, and multiple NSX Edge instances per datacenter.
Ports and Protocols Required by NSX Data Center for vSphere
NSX Data Center for vSphere requires multiple ports to be open for it to operate properly.
NSX and vSphere Distributed Switches
In an NSX domain, VMware NSX^® Virtual Switch™ is the software that operates in server hypervisors to form a software abstraction layer between servers and the physical network.
Example: Working with a vSphere Distributed Switch
This example shows how to create a new vSphere distributed switch (VDS); add port groups for management, storage, and vMotion traffic types; and migrate hosts on a standard vSwitch to the new distributed switch.
Understanding Replication Modes
When you create a transport zone or a logical switch, you must select a replication mode. Understanding the different modes can help you decide which is most appropriate for your environment.
Installation Workflow and Sample Topology
NSX Data Center for vSphere installation involves the deployment of several virtual appliances, some ESXi host preparation, and some configuration to allow communication across all of the physical and virtual devices.
Cross-vCenter NSX and Enhanced Linked Mode
vSphere 6.0 introduces Enhanced Linked Mode, which links multiple vCenter Server systems by using one or more Platform Services Controllers. This allows you to view and search the inventories of all linked vCenter Server systems within the vSphere Web Client. In a cross-vCenter NSX environment, Enhanced Linked Mode allows to you manage all NSX Managers from a single vSphere Web Client.
