Transport zones indicate which hosts and VMs can use a particular network. A transport zone can span one or more host clusters.
As a vSphere administrator, you use the default transport zones or create the following ones:
- An overlay transport zone that is used by the Supervisor Cluster Control Plane VMs.
- A VLAN transport zone for the NSX Edge nodes to use for uplinks to the physical network.
Procedure
- Log in to the NSX Manager.
- Select .
- Enter a name for the transport zone and optionally a description.
- Select a traffic type.
You can select
Overlay or
VLAN.
The following transport zones exist by default:
- A VLAN transport zone with name
nsx-vlan-transportzone
.
- An overlay transport zone with name
nsx-overlay-transportzone
.
- (Optional) Enter one or more uplink teaming policy names.
The segments attached to the transport zones use these named teaming policies. If the segments do not find a matching named teaming policy, then the default uplink teaming policy is used.
Results
The new transport zone appears on the
Transport Zones page.
