Every time When you create a VDC is deployed, Abiquo will create the DLRs and ESGs, and connect them to the tenant network to provide gateway, DHCP, routing and firewall services to the VMs inside the VDC.

Limitation
- NSX ECMP does not support load balancers.Maximum 1 VDC per tenant.
Abiquo properties
The following properties are global to the platform and you must configure them in the DC Remote Services appliance:
...
The following properties can be configured globally or per tenant. See Manage tenant properties to configure them as tenant properties.To configure properties globally in the DC Remote Server properties, use them with an abiquo. prefix::
- globally: for one VDC per DC only. Use the "abiquo." prefix and configure in the DC Remote Services properties
- per tenant: for one VDC per tenant only. See Manage tenant properties
- per VDC, as context properties: for more than one VDC per tenant. See Create more than one VDC in NSX ECMP

| nsx.gateway.datacenter | The Datacenter where Abiquo will create the distributed port group for the tenant VLAN, if missing |
nsx.gateway.dvs | The distributed virtual switch where Abiquo will create the distributed port group for the tenant VLAN, if missing |
| Identifier of the AS used in the tenant network | |
nsx.gateway.bgp.from-edge-password | BGP password for gateway from Edge |
| nsx.edge.uplink.ips | Comma separated list of the IP addresses to assign to the uplink interfaces of the ESGs. The number of IP addresses here will determine the number of ESGs Abiquo will deploy when creating a Virtual datacenter |
| nsx.edge.bgp.peers | Comma separated list of the IP addresses to be configured as BGP neighbor of each ESG uplink |
| nsx.edge.bgp.as | Identifier of the AS used by the ESGs |
nsx.edge.bgp.from-local-password | BGP password from local |
| nsx.edge.bgp.hold-down-timer | Hold down timer value for the BGP between the ESGs and the tenant network |
| nsx.edge.bgp.keep-alive-timer | Keep alive timer or the BGP between the ESGs and the tenant network |
| nsx.edge.bgp.weight | Weight of each neighbor in the BGP between the ESGs and the tenant network |
| nsx.local.bgp.as | Identifier of the AS used by the local DLR |
| nsx.local.bgp.hold-down-timer | Hold down timer value for the BGP between the DLR and the ESGs |
| nsx.local.bgp.keep-alive-timer | Keep alive timer for the BGP between the DLR and the ESGs |
| nsx.local.bgp.weight | Weight of each neighbor in the BGP between the DLR and the ESGs |
nsx.transit.network | Network CIDR of the transit network |
nsx.virtualwire.teaming | Use this property to set the teaming policy for the portGroup that is the backing for the VirtualWire when it is created. This value cannot be changed after it is created. |
abiquo.nsx.edge.esg.size | Size of the ESG appliances. Values: compact, large, quadlarge, xlarge |
| abiquo.nsx.edge.dhcp.size | Size of the ESG appliance to use when creating the DHCP Edge for the virtual datacenter. Values: compact, large, quadlarge, xlarge |
| nsx.edge.description | Description to configure in the edges created by Abiquo. |
