Prepare the NSX Environment to Bridge Layer 2 Networks

Review your existing NSX-V environment and plan your bridging requirements.

Prepare a plan to determine the infrastructure that you will require for your bridging needs. For example:

• How many Logical Switches do you have in your existing NSX-V environment?
• How many Logical Switches you want to extend with NSX overlay segments?
• Do you plan to extend all Logical Switches in a single batch or one network at a time?
• Do you plan to configure High Availability (HA) on the NSX Edge nodes?
• Do you have enough capacity on the NSX-V prepared host to deploy the number and size of NSX Edge nodes you require for bridging?
