Issue/Introduction

NSX VLAN backed segment is using uplinks from default teaming policy even when the transport zone has named uplink teaming policy configured.

Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

Segment does not have named teaming policy configured.

Resolution

Configure segment with correct policy under 'Uplink Teaming Policy' configuration option.

For e.g. if the Transport Zone has two Uplink Teaming Policies, under the segment configuration select the required uplink teaming policy to use the correct uplinks.
