Configuring Resources

Before installing NCP, you need to set up some

NSX

resources.

Note: When you install

NSX

, the default license does not allow creating or updating objects that you will need to support NCP. For more information, see the section "Add a License Key and Generate a License Usage Report" in the

NSX Administration Guide

The NSX Manager web UI provides 2 methods to configure networking resources: Policy mode and Manager mode. For more information, see the section "NSX Manager" in the

NSX Administration Guide

You must use one of the two methods to configure

NSX

networking for NCP, but not both. You must set the

policy_nsxapi

option in the NCP YAML file to

True

if you use the Policy mode, or

False

if you use the Manager mode.
