Before you can use a Multi-CGW network as a test network, you must create a tier-1 gateway.

Procedure

  1. Log in to VMware Cloud Services at https://vmc.vmware.com.
  2. Click Inventory > SDDCs, then pick an SDDC card and click VIEW DETAILS.
  3. Click the Network & Security tab.
  4. Click Tier-1 Gateways > ADD TIER-1 GATEWAY, then give the new gateway a Name and optional Description.
  5. Specify the gateway Type.
    The recommended gateway type is Isolated.
    Type Traffic Pattern
    Isolated Segment traffic cannot traverse the new gateway. Local segments can connect with each other. Segments are not added to the routing table.​
    Routed Segment traffic is routed through the new gateway.
    NATted Segment traffic cannot traverse the new gateway until you create NAT rules for it (see Create or Modify NAT Rules in the VMware Cloud on AWS Networking and Security documentation.). Local segments can connect with each other. Segments are not added to the routing table.​
  6. Click SAVE to create or configure the gateway.
  7. Configure DHCP for the gateway.
    Click Set DHCP Configuration to open the DHCP Configuration page. Choose a Type of DHCP Server and set the DHCP Server Profile to default. Specify an IPv4 Server IP Address and optionally change the Lease Time.
