Installing and Configuring NSX Embedded using VMware vCenter Plugin

NSX embedded (NSXe) integrates NSX with VMware vCenter to enable the consumption of NSX from VMware vCenter. As a VI admin, you can install NSX Manager and NSX for virtual networking or security-only use case by installing and configuring the NSX plugin in VMware vCenter.

There are two workflows - Virtual Networking and Security Only - allowed from the NSX page on the vSphere Client. The Virtual Networking deployment workflow includes both networking and security use cases. In contrast, if you choose to configure Security Only type of deployment, then you cannot configure virtual networking on the selected cluster hosts.

Note:

• You must not enable Multi NSX on the VMware vCenter on which you plan to install and configure the NSX plugin. It might result in unexpected results when using the NSX plugin from the VMware vCenter.
• VMware does not support registration of multiple VMware vCenter servers to the same NSX Manager.
