Install NSX Edge
You can install NSX Edge as a services gateway or as a logical router.
NSX Edge Services Gateway
The services gateway gives you access to all NSX Edge services such as firewall, NAT, DHCP, VPN, load
balancing, and high availability. You can install multiple NSX Edge services gateway virtual appliances in a
datacenter. Each NSX Edge virtual appliance can have a total of ten uplink and internal network interfaces.
The internal interfaces connect to secured port groups and act as the gateway for all protected virtual
machines in the port group. The subnet assigned to the internal interface can be a publicly routed IP space
or a NATed/routed RFC 1918 private space. Firewall rules and other NSX Edge services are enforced on
traffic between network interfaces.
Uplink interfaces of NSX Edge connect to uplink port groups that have access to a shared corporate network
or a service that provides access layer networking. Multiple external IP addresses can be configured for load
balancer, site-to-site VPN, and NAT services.
Logical Router
The NSX Edge logical router provides East-West distributed routing with tenant IP address space and data
path isolation. Virtual machines or workloads that reside on the same host on different subnets can
communicate with one another without having to traverse a traditional routing interface.
A logical router can have eight uplink interfaces and up to a thousand internal interfaces.
Install an NSX Edge Services Gateway
You can install multiple NSX Edge services gateway virtual appliances in a data center. Each NSX Edge
virtual appliance can have a total of ten uplink and internal network interfaces. The internal interfaces
connect to secured port groups and act as the gateway for all protected virtual machines in the port group.
The subnet assigned to the internal interface can be a publicly routed IP space or a NATed/routed RFC 1918
private space. Firewall rules and other NSX Edge services are enforced on traffic between interfaces.
Uplink interfaces of NSX Edge connect to uplink port groups that have access to a shared corporate network
or a service that provides access layer networking.
Multiple external IP addresses can be configured for load balancer, site-to-site VPN, and NAT services.
Overlapping IP addresses are not allowed for internal interfaces, and overlapping subnets are not allowed
for internal and uplink interfaces.
