The Tier-0 gateway in the NSX-T Edge cluster provides a gateway service between the logical and physical network. While an NSX-T Edge cluster can back multiple Tier-0 gateways, there can be only one Tier-0 gateway per edge node.

1. Login to the user interface of NSX-T Manager.

2. On the main navigation bar, click Networking. Navigate to Tier-0 Gateways and click Add Tier-0 Gateway.

3. Enter a Name.

4. Select a high-availability mode. In the active-active mode, traffic is load balanced across all members. In active-standby mode, all traffic is processed by an elected active member. If the active member fails, a new member is elected to be active.

5. Click Save. Confirm that you want to continue configuring the Tier-0 gateway.

6. To configure route redistribution.

- Expand Route Re-Distribution and click Set.
- Select all sources and click Apply.
- Click Save.

7. Add the uplink interfaces to the edge nodes.

Expand Interfaces and click Set.
In the Set Interfaces dialog box, click Add Interface and enter the settings for the uplink interfaces.
For every interface, provide a Name, an IP address in CIDR format, select a Segment and the Edge Node to attach the interface to.
(Optional) Change the MTU and add tags.
Click Save.

8. Repeat the process to create all required interfaces for this Tier-0 gateway. Click Close.

9. Configure BGP.

Expand BGP.
Enter the Local AS.
Configure the options.
Click Save.
Click Set for BGP Neighbors.
In the Set BGP Neighbors dialog box, click Add BGP Neighbor and enter the required settings.
Repeat the process to create all BGP neighbors.
Click Save.
Click Close.
