Make sure you have completed all preceding NSX-T installation tasks.

Verify the Installation of NSX-T v2.5

Complete the following operation for each ESXi host to be used by the PKS Compute Cluster.

1. In NSX-T Manager, create a T0 router.

   • Name: T0-router
   • Edge Cluster: edgecluster1
   • HA mode: Active/Standby

2. Create a router port.

   • Transport Node: edge-node-1
   • LS: T0-uplink-LS
   • Subnet: For example, 10.40.206.10/25

3. Click Save to create the T0 router.

4. Create a static route.

   • Network: 0.0.0.0/0
   • Next hop: 10.40.206.125

5. Click Save to save the T0 router.

6. Verify that you can ping the T0 interface IP from the network.

   PING 10.40.206.10 (10.40.206.10): 56 data bytes
   64 bytes from 10.40.206.10: icmp_seq=0 ttl=55 time=24.407 ms
   64 bytes from 10.40.206.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=23.984 ms
   64 bytes from 10.40.206.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=24.170 ms
   64 bytes from 10.40.206.10: icmp_seq=3 ttl=55 time=30.211 ms
