Tutorial: Add an NSX network segment in Azure VMware Solution

After deploying Azure VMware Solution, you can configure an NSX network segment from NSX Manager or the Azure portal. Once configured, the segments are visible in Azure VMware Solution, NSX Manager, and vCenter Server. NSX comes pre-provisioned by default with an NSX Tier-0 gateway in Active/Active mode and a default NSX Tier-1 gateway in Active/Standby mode. These gateways let you connect the segments (logical switches) and provide East-West and North-South connectivity.

Tip

The Azure portal presents a simplified view of NSX operations a VMware administrator needs regularly and targeted at users not familiar with NSX Manager.

In this tutorial, you learn how to:

[!div class="checklist"]

  • Add network segments using either NSX Manager or the Azure portal
  • Verify the new network segment

Prerequisites

An Azure VMware Solution private cloud with access to the vCenter Server and NSX Manager interfaces. For more information, see the Configure networking tutorial.

Use Azure portal to add an NSX network segment

[!INCLUDE create-nsxt-segment-azure-portal-steps]

Use NSX Manager to add network segment

The virtual machines (VMs) created in vCenter Server are placed onto the network segments created in NSX and are visible in vCenter Server.

[!INCLUDE add-network-segment-steps]

Verify the new network segment

Verify the presence of the new network segment. In this example, ls01 is the new network segment.

  1. In NSX Manager, select Networking > Segments.
