NSX-T Configure Edge Cluster - Part 11

A multi-node cluster of NSX Edges helps ensure that at least one NSX Edge is always available. In order to create a tier-0 logical router or a tier-1 router with NAT, you must associate it with an NSX Edge cluster. Therefore, even if you have only one NSX Edge, it must still belong to an NSX Edge cluster to be useful.

Points to Remember

• An NSX Edge transport node can be added to only one NSX Edge cluster.
• An NSX Edge cluster can be used to back multiple logical routers.
• After creating the NSX Edge cluster, you can later edit it to add additional NSX Edges. 

Prerequisites

• Install at least one NSX Edge node.
• Join the NSX Edges with the management plane.
• Add the NSX Edges as transport nodes.
• Optionally, create an NSX Edge cluster profile for high availability (HA) at Fabric > Profiles > Edge Cluster Profiles. You can also use the default NSX Edge cluster profile.
