Create/Delete Logical Switches

A Logical Switch can extend across multiple VDS. A given Logical Switch can provide connectivity for VMs that are connected to the Compute Clusters or to the Edge Cluster. A logical Switch is always created as part of a specific Transport Zone. This implies that normally the Transport Zone extends across all the ESXi clusters and defines the extension of a Logical Switch.

Connect logical switch to edge gateway

Deploy services on a logical switch

As I have no 3rd party services defined I am unable to complete this task. It seems to be straight forward - Select service and click ok.
