A sovereign cloud provider operates a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) stretched Workload Domain across two data centers, AZ1 and AZ2, with Layer 3 underlay connectivity between the sites.

The NSX design includes the following details:

  • Each site must run its own local NSX Edge Cluster for availability zones.
  • Tier-0 gateways must use active/active mode with BGP ECMP to local top-of-rack switches.
  • Inter-site Edge TEP traffic must not traverse the inter-DC link.
  • SDDC Manager automates NSX deployment.

While deploying the Edge Cluster for AZ2, the SDDC Manager workflow fails because the Edge transport-node TEP IP addresses cannot be reached from the ESX transport nodes.

Which step ensures the Edge Cluster is deployed correctly in multi-site stretched domains?

Explanation

A site-specific Edge TEP IP pool and matching AZ2 uplink profile place AZ2 Edge TEPs on the AZ2-local transport network, allowing local ESX transport nodes to reach them without sending Edge TEP traffic across the inter-DC link. An NSX uplink profile defines the transport VLAN for TEP traffic, and VCF network profiles associate that uplink profile with the appropriate IP pool.
