What to expect from this post:<\/strong> Prepping the NSX-T environment for configuring \u201cworkload management\u201d in vSphere7 with Kubernetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSX-T Implementation Order > Create an IP Address Pool for ESXi TEPs > Create Transport Zones for Overlay and VLAN<\/strong>
Here are the high-level implementation steps that we\u2019re going to follow to deploy and configure NSX-T Manager, so we can make it ready for configuring \u201cWorkload Management\u201d on vSphere 7.0 to enable Tanzu Kubernetes Grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Create an IP Address Pool for ESXi TEPs:<\/strong>
IP Address Pools are used to assign IP addresses to tunnel endpoints (TEPs) on various Transport Nodes, including VMware ESXi, KVM or bare-metal hosts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on Networking (top-menu) > click on IP Address Pools (left-menu) > click on “ADD IP ADDRESS POOL” > Provide a name, description > Click on Set under Subnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

From the Add Subnet drop-down menu, select IP Ranges > Provide an IP Range, CIDR, Gateway IP, DNS Servers, and DNS Suffix, as outlined in the screenshot below and click Add and click Apply<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on Save and make sure that Status displays “Success”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transport Zone:<\/strong>
Transport Zone is a collection of various transport nodes such as VMware ESXi, KVM, and bare-metal hosts that can communicate with each other across a physical infrastructure over the TEP defined above. It can span across multiple vSphere clusters, especially when used with the ESXi hosts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a Transport Zone for the Overlay Network:<\/strong>
As outlined in the NSX-T Architecture post, the Overlay network is an internal tunnel that uses Geneve for encapsulating the traffic (unlike VXLAN in NSX-V) across the various transport nodes that participate in the zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on System (top-menu) > expand Fabric (left-menu) > click on Transport Zones (left-menu) > add a new transport zone by clicking on “+ADD” button > provide a name, select Overlay<\/span><\/span> under Traffic Type and click ADD as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Create a Transport Zone for the VLAN Network:<\/strong>
As outlined in the NSX-T Architecture post, it is normally used at the network uplinks of all the NSX Edge transport nodes for all the North-South traffic that’s normally carried over 802.1Q tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on System (top-menu) > expand Fabric (left-menu) > click on Transport Zones (left-menu) > add a new transport zone by clicking on “+ADD” button > provide a name, select VLAN<\/span><\/span> under Traffic Type and click ADD as shown in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At this point, you’ll notice that they’re not being used anywhere, but that’s ok. Let’s get to the next step04<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
