The tier-1 logical router must be connected to the tier-0 logical router to get the northbound physical router access.
Prerequisites
- Verify that the logical switches are configured. See Create a Logical Switch in Manager Mode.
- Verify that an NSX Edge cluster is deployed to perform network address translation (NAT) configuration. See the NSX-T Data Center Installation Guide.
- Familiarize yourself with the tier-1 logical router topology. See Tier-1 Logical Router.
-
Verify that Manager mode is selected in the NSX Manager user interface. See NSX Manager. If you do not see the Policy and Manager mode buttons, see Configure User Interface Settings.
Procedure
Results
After the logical router is created, if you want to remove the Edge cluster from the router's configuration, perform the following steps:
- Click the name of the router to see the configuration details.
- Select .
- Click Disable Firewall.
- Click the Overview tab and click Edit.
- In the Edge Cluster field, click the x icon.
- Click Save.
If this logical router supports more than 5000 VMs, you must run the following commands on each node of the
NSX Edge cluster to increase the size of the ARP table.
You must re-run the commands after a dataplane restart or a node reboot because the change is not persistent.
set debug-mode set dataplane neighbor max-arp-logical-router 10000
What to do next
Create downlink ports for your tier-1 logical router. See Add a Downlink Port on a Tier-1 Logical Router in Manager Mode.
