After deploying one or more NSX-T Edge nodes on an NSX Data Center for vSphere prepared host, follow the steps in this procedure to create the Edge bridge.

Procedure
Configure an NSX Edge Bridge as a Transport Node Add the N-VDS switches on the NSX-T Edge VM that you have deployed on the NSX for vSphere prepared host.
Create an NSX Edge Cluster After the Edge bridge node is configured to become an NSX-T Edge transport node, you can add the node to an NSX Edge cluster. This Edge bridge cluster is independent of the Edge cluster that you use for routing and north-south connectivity with the physical routers.
Create an Edge Bridge Profile An Edge bridge profile makes an NSX Edge cluster capable of providing Layer 2 bridging to an overlay segment.
Configure an Edge Bridge on an Overlay Segment Use the Edge bridge profile that you created earlier to configure bridge settings on the overlay segment. The Edge bridge helps you to extend the overlay segment with the Logical Switch in your NSX-v environment.
Configure the Logical Switch to Connect to the Edge Bridge Configure some additional settings on the virtual wire port group of the NSX-v Logical Switch to enable connectivity with the NSX-T Data Center Edge bridge.
Test the Connectivity Across the Layer 2 Bridge Check the status of the Edge bridge and perform basic connectivity tests to ensure that the bridge is ready to use.
Bridging a Federated Segment for the Migration You can create a bridge on Federated segments for the migration.
