The basic steps of installing NSX in a vSphere environment are: deploying NSX Manager VMs, converting ESXi hosts into host transport nodes, and deploying NSX Edge VMs.

Step 1: Deploy NSX Managers
NSX Manager is the application that you use to administer your NSX environment. In a production environment, for fault tolerance, you should deploy a cluster of three NSX Manager nodes, each running on a separate ESXi host.
Step 2: Configure a VDS
You can use an existing VDS or configure a new one. If you use an exising VDS, you must set its MTU to 1600 or higher.
Step 3: Create an Uplink Profile and Configure Host Transport Nodes
For a host to be a part of an NSX deployment, NSX modules must be installed on the host. After the installation, the host is known as a host transport node.
Step 4: Deploy NSX Edge Nodes and Create an Edge Cluster
NSX Edge nodes are where most of the networking and security services run.
Step 5: Configure Gateways and Segments
A segment is a logical switch that VMs can connect to. A tier-1 gateway routes traffic between segments. A tier-0 gateway connects tier-1 gateways to a physical router so that segments have external connectivity.
Step 6: Test East-West and North-South Connectivity
You can use the ping command to test east-west and north-south connectivity.
