A tier-1 gateway is typically connected to a tier-0 gateway in the northbound direction and to segments in the southbound direction.
If you are adding a tier-1 gateway from Global Manager in NSX Federation, see Add a Tier-1 Gateway from Global Manager.
Tier-0 and tier-1 gateways support the following addressing configurations for all interfaces (uplinks, service ports and downlinks) in both single tier and multi-tiered topologies:
- IPv4 only
- IPv6 only
- Dual Stack - both IPv4 and IPv6
Procedure
What to do next
After the tier-1 gateway is added, you can optionally enable dynamic IP management on the gateway by selecting either a DHCP server profile or a DHCP relay profile. For more information, see Attach a DHCP Profile to a Tier-0 or Tier-1 Gateway.
