The deployment of NSX involves deploying and configuring NSX components. Installing NSX Manager is the first step in deploying NSX. After installing NSX successfully, configure the NSX components such as NSX Manager, logical switches, and routers. This procedure explains the installation and configuration of NSX Networking with standard mode.

For detailed steps, see NSX Workflow for vSphere.
