In the Resolve Configuration step of the migration, you can optionally add additional uplink interfaces on the NSX Edge nodes.
- One required uplink that corresponds to an existing uplink on the NSX-V Edge Services Gateway (ESG).
- Up to15 additional uplinks.
On the Resolve Configuration page, you must first submit inputs to resolve feedback messages that are displayed for adding the required uplink on each NSX Edge node corresponding to an existing uplink on each NSX-V Edge Services Gateway. After the feedback messages for the required uplinks are resolved for each NSX Edge, follow the steps in this procedure to add additional uplinks (if necessary) on the desired NSX Edge nodes.
The default recommendation is to skip the creation of additional uplinks on the NSX Edge nodes. If you accept the default recommendation, no additional uplinks are created during the migration.
- Example
-
Assume that your NSX-V topology has two north-facing ESGs configured in ECMP and connected to upstream physical ToR switches. The existing uplink interfaces on the two ESGs have the following configuration:
- ESG-1: The uplink of this ESG is attached to a Public-DVPG1 port group, which uses VLAN 13. The uplink IP is 40.40.40.2/24.
- ESG-2: The uplink of this ESG is attached to a Public-DVPG2 port group, which uses VLAN 16. The uplink IP is 20.20.20.2/24.
The migrated NSX topology contains two NSX Edge nodes (Edge-1, Edge-2) in an active/active configuration. You want to add one additional uplink on both Edge-1 and Edge-2.
The procedure in this topic explains the workflow to add two additional uplinks for this example.
Note: If the migrated NSX Edge nodes in an active-passive configuration, the feedback messages are slightly different. However, the overall workflow remains the same. You must follow the messages in the UI and submit appropriate inputs to resolve the feedback messages.
Procedure
What to do next
After finishing the Migrate Configuration step, verify that the required uplinks and the additional uplinks are created on the tier-0 gateway.
- uplink1: 40.40.40.2/24
- uplink2: 20.20.20.2/24
- uplink3: 30.30.30.2/24
- uplink4: 10.10.10.2/24
