Expand a Transport Zone
You can add clusters to a transport zone, which stretches all existing transport zones to become available on
the newly added clusters.
Prerequisites
The clusters you add to a transport zone have the network infrastructure installed and are configured for
VXLAN. See the NSX Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vSphere Web Client.
2 Click Networking & Security and then click Installation.
3 Click Logical Network Preparation and then click Transport Zones.
4 Click a transport zone.
5
In Transport Zones Details, click the Add Cluster (
) icon.
6 Select the clusters you want to add to the transport zone.
7 Click OK.
Add a Transport Zone
Procedure
1 Log in to the vSphere Web Client.
2 Click Networking & Security and then click Installation.
3 Click Logical Network Preparation and then click Transport Zones.
4 Click the New Transport Zone icon.
5 In the New Transport Zone dialog box, type a name and description for the transport zone.
6 Depending on whether you have a controller node in your environment, or you want to use multicast
addresses, select the control plane mode.
n
Multicast: Multicast IP addresses on physical network is used for the control plane. This mode is
recommended only when you are upgrading from older VXLAN deployments. Requires
PIM/IGMP on physical network.
n
Unicast : The control plane is handled by an NSX controller. All unicast traffic leverages headend
replication. No multicast IP addresses or special network configuration is required.
n
Hybrid : The optimized unicast mode. Offloads local traffic replication to physical network (L2
multicast). This requires IGMP snooping on the first-hop switch, but does not require PIM. First-
hop switch handles traffic replication for the subnet.
7 Select the clusters to be added to the transport zone.
8 Click OK.
