If you do not want use the public IPs and want to ensure that all the communication between the NSX Management components and the PCG+VMs to be private, then you must peer the Management VNet with the VNet that you need to manage. After peering, you can deploy the PCG on the VGW mode and all communications between the two VNets becomes private. |
