When you configure east-west network introspection or you want to redirect packets from the uplink of an NSX Edge to the service chain, create a service segment.
Prerequisites

Procedure
- From your browser, log in with admin privileges to an NSX Manager at https://<nsx-manager-ip-address>.
- Click .
- Click Add Service Segment.
- In the Name field, enter a name for the segment.
- In the Transport Zone (Overlay) field, select an overlay transport zone that is associated to the segment.
- In the Connected To field, do one of the following:
- Leave the field blank if you are configuring east-west network introspection to protect guest VMs by third-party security vendors.
- Select a Tier-0 or Tier-1 gateway if you are configuring an east-west service chaining to redirect packets from the uplink of an NSX Edge to the service chain.
- Click Save.
