Getting ready

To deploy the NSX Edge Services Gateway, the following prerequisites must be met:

• The user must have an enterprise administrator or NSX administrator role
• The NSX controllers must be deployed and available
• A router ID must be reserved; typically the transit logical switch IP address is sufficient
• The VXLAN-backed Portgroup (logical switch) is available to be used for the HA interface
• The Transit logical switch (LS-TRANSIT) has been created
• The NSX-backed PortGroup has been configured on the vSphere distributed switch
