To use NSX-T, configure the ESXi hosts in the shared edge and compute cluster as transport nodes. As a result, the NSX-T Manager installs the NSX-T kernel modules on the hosts as VIB files.

The NSX-T kernel modules provide services such as distributed routing and distributed firewall.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the user interface of NSX-T Manager.
    1. Open a Web browser and go to https://sfo01wnsx01.sfo01.rainpole.local.
    2. Log in by using the following credentials.

  2. On the main navigation bar, click System.
  3. In the navigation pane, select Fabric > Nodes.
  4. On the Host Transport Nodes tab, from the Managed by drop-down menu, select sfo01w02vc01.
  5. Select the sfo01-w02-comp01 cluster and click Configure NSX.
  6. Select the sfo01-w02-shared01-profile transport node profile and click Save.
