To handle the networking configuration for all hosts in the Supervisor, create a vSphere Distributed Switch, create distributed port groups, and associate hosts with the switch.
Procedure
Create Distributed Port Groups
Create distributed port groups for each NSX Edge node uplink, Edge node TEP, management network, and shared storage.
Prerequisites
Verify that you have created a vSphere Distributed Switch.
Procedure
Add Hosts to the vSphere Distributed Switch
To manage the networking of your environment by using the vSphere Distributed Switch, you must associate hosts from the Supervisor with the switch. Connect the physical NICs, VMkernel adapters, and virtual machine network adapters of the hosts to the distributed switch.
Prerequisites
- Verify that enough uplinks are available on the distributed switch to assign to the physical NICs that you want to connect to the switch.
- Verify that at least one distributed port group is available on the distributed switch.
- Verify that the distributed port group has active uplinks configured in its teaming and failover policy.
Procedure
