we can also use our NSX edge as inbuilt Load balancer. Following is the sample topology diagram:

Source is my windows XP meachine IP address: 172.16.70.11 and there are two destination servers
a)fin-web01a(172.16.60.20)
b)hr-web01a(172.16.60.10)

Now we are going to loadbalance the traffic between these to servers.

Step1: Create a vNIC IP address to the NSX edge. in this case i used 172.16.99.99 as my Virtual IP address.

Step2: Goto NSX Edge>Manage>Loadbalancer>
enable LoadBalance option as shown

Step3: Create Server PoolFarm with service port:443, with ROUNDROBIN Algorithm
a)fin-web01a(172.16.60.20)
b)hr-web01a(172.16.60.10)


Step4: Now create Virtual Server IP address with the above Pool.
