(How-To) Configure NSX-T Uplink Profiles

An Uplink Profile defines how an N-VDS residing on a respective transport node will map to the physical NICs of a host. The configurable properties of an uplink profile determines how transport nodes connect to the physical network by configuring the number of NICs, teaming policies, VLANs and MTU.

The benefit of creating a custom uplink policy allows you to configure the desired state once and enforce that desired state everywhere. Thus, creating a consistent and reliable deployment.
