Create the segments to connect nodes that send VLAN and overlay traffic in the NSX-T workload domain in VMware Cloud Foundation.
During the deployment of the NSX-T workload domain, SDDC Manager creates a default configuration of network segments.

You add the segments that are required for the network connectivity in the NSX-T workload domain with multiple availability zones and assign each uplink segments an uplink port.
