uses manual “manager” install, so technically not 100% compliant, manually adds T0 components, etc.

Useful Steps - create edge node, with switches for overlay and vlan - node transport profiles with same for hosts - ip address for edge in vlan network - static default route

Note you still must add an additional switch (1 for overlay, 1 for vlan) when creating an edge node and manually assign it to an fp interface. this interface must correspond to the edge vm’s NICs in Vcenter, and be on the correct vlans.
