You can add two kinds of segments: overlay-backed segments and VLAN-backed segments.
Segments are created as part of a transport zone. There are two types of transport zones: VLAN transport zones and overlay transport zones. A segment created in a VLAN transport zone is a VLAN-backed segment, and a segment created in an overlay transport zone is an overlay-backed segment.
- DHCPv4 relay is supported on a VLAN-backed segment through the Service Interface. Only one DHCP v4 relay or service is supported on a segment.
- For a standalone segment that is not connected to a gateway, only Segment DHCP server is supported.
- For a VLAN segment requiring DHCP server, only Segment DHCP server is supported. Gateway DHCP is not supported on VLAN.

Results
If NSX Federation is configured, this feature of reconfiguring a segment by clicking on an entity is applicable to segments created by the Global Manager (GM) as well. Note that from the Local Manager, you can create ports for a GM-created segment because you cannot create segment ports from the Global Manager.
