Adding an NSX Edge Cluster to a VCF workload domain brings a huge amount of versatility to your workloads living there. Software defined networks that can be provisioned with full routing when you need them. Security, for workloads on segments as well as those on traditional portgroups through both the Distributed and Gateway Firewalls. With VCF it’s easy to get started.

It seems like a good time to have an update post on Multi-NIC “stuff” in VCF 4.0. Before we get to the creation of the cluster, I think it’s important to go over one of the biggest networking changes in VCF 4.0/vSphere 7.0. With vSphere 7.0 came the introduction of the vSphere Distributed Switch 7.0 and with that, some welcome changes that I haven’t really seen mentioned anywhere.
