Newly configured Tier-0 is unable to establish connectivity and is in 'Failed' state

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

New Tier-0 is in 'Failed' state.

It is failing due to realization error for logical port.

Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

Realization is failing with error code 10059 indicating that edge transport node does not belong the transport zone of linked logical switch port.

Error message -
[error_code=10059,module_name=ROUTING,error_message=][Routing] Transport node #### of Edge cluster member must belong to transport zone #### of linked logical switch port ####]

This means that the Tier-0 uplink interface is connected to a logical switch which is not part of same transport zone as the edge node. For e.g., if the uplink interface Uplink-2 is connected to logical switch LS-2 which is part of transport zone TZ-VLAN then the edge node should also be part of TZ-VLAN.

Resolution

Check uplink configuration using following steps -
a. Go to Networking > Tier-0 Gateways
b. Click on 'INTERFACES AND GRE TUNNELS' > 'External and Service Interfaces'

There are two ways to resolve this -
1. Edit edge configuration and add require transport zone. For e.g., if the uplink interface is connected to a logical switch transport zone named TZ-VLAN then the edge node should also be part of TZ-VLAN.

2. Delete the uplink interface and recreate it on the same transport zone that the edge is part of.
