Adding an NSX-T segment using the Azure portal

I will now walk you through the steps to create an NSX-T segment using the Azure portal:

1. From the Azure portal, navigate to your AVS private cloud, and, under Workload Networking, click on Segments | Add.
2. Provide the required details for the new segment and click OK:

Figure 6.11 – Adding an NSX-T segment in the Azure portal

The following are the details you have to add:

• Segment name – This is the name of the segment that will be visible in vCenter.
• Subnet gateway – This is the gateway IP address for the new segment. You will need to enter the IP address with the subnet mask (x.x.x.x/x). Similarly, on-premises, VMs are attached to a logical segment and all VMs connecting to a segment belong to the same subnet. IP addresses will be issued from this segment to all the VMs that are connected to it.
• DHCP – DHCP ranges for a logical segment are optional...
