All right, so as part of our game plan, our next step
is to go ahead and create a couple of external VLAN
backed network segments, one over here with VLAN 23 for site
1 and one for VLAN 24 over here at site 2.
And then with those external segments in place,
when it comes time to create the tier 0 gateway,
we can logically associate a couple interfaces
with the site 1, VLAN 23 address space, which we're
going to use 23.1.2.0 with a 24-bit mask.
And then the same thing over here for the tier 0 interfaces WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And then the same thing over here for the tier 0 interfaces
over at site 2.
But this time we'll use VLAN 24 with each edge
having a different IP address on the 24.1.2.0 network.
All right, with that in mind, let's
create our two external segments.
So once again, we'll return to the global manager
to do that work.
So back here at the global manager, with it selected,
we'll click on the networking tab at the top.
And then we'll go down to segments,
and we'll create our two external segments.
And we also could go directly right from here to site 1 and site 2
at those local managers and create them. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
at those local managers and create them.
But by doing it here at the NSX global manager,
I also can give you the opportunity
of seeing how we can associate those VLAN-backed external
segments with the correct site.
So that's another benefit of doing it here
from the NSX global manager.
It's convenient.
And also, in the demo, I can walk you through how it's done.
So with segments selected here on the left,
we'll go ahead and click on Add Segment.
And let's make the first one for site 1.
We'll call it site 1, ext for external,
and I'll put v23 to remind myself of the VLAN.
So that'll be the name for this external segment.
It's going to be VLAN-backed. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
It's going to be VLAN-backed.
If we scroll down, we can then specify where this should belong.
So from the dropdown under locations, we'll choose site 1.
Then it automatically populated the default VLAN-backed transport
zone, associate with site 1.
And that's why that shows up here.
So that's fantastic.
And then over-count the right, where
they're going to specify the actual VLAN.
So if this is for VLAN 23, over here for VLAN,
we'll put VLAN 23.
And we'll scroll down, and we'll click on Save.
And then we'll click on No.
And now we have this external segment associated.
Let me collapse the left-hand column here. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Let me collapse the left-hand column here.
And that segment is associated with site 1.
So let's repeat that process.
In fact, I'm going to go ahead and copy the name here
so I can get a very similar syntax.
And let's create another external segment for VLAN 24.
And we'll associate that one with site 2.
So we'll click again on Add Segment.
I'll right-click and paste to keep my naming consistency.
And then we'll call those one site 2.
And it'll be VLAN 24.
And then this will be at the location from the dropdown.
We'll choose site 2.
And then for the transport zone, it's WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And then for the transport zone, it's
choosing the default VLAN-backed transport zone, which
is perfect.
And then over here in VLAN, we'll specify it as VLAN 24.
And we'll scroll down and click on Save.
And we'll click on No.
So now we have our two external segments.
The first one being associated with site 1.
If we scroll down, the second one here
is associated with site 2.
We also confirm the VLAN numbers.
So it's VLAN 24 for site 2.
Fantastic.
And VLAN 23 for site 1.
So we go ahead and collapse all those.
And with these external segments, one at site 1 and one site 2 WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And with these external segments, one at site 1 and one site 2
created, we can then leverage those and use those
when we start creating our Tier 0 gateway
and connecting it to those external segments.
And speaking of Tier 0 gateways, that's
what we get to create in the very next video.
So I'll see you there in just a moment.
