Hello everyone
I am deploying NSX-T 2.4.1. I reached the point that I can deploy my first Tier-0 router in active/active mode, I am confused about whether to deploy
a Tier-0 Router or a Tier-0 Gateway.
On page 386 of the NSX-T Data Center Admin guide, the steps are the following
A tier-0 logical router provides a gateway service between the logical and physical network
2 Select Advanced Networking & Security >Routers > Rout ers > Add.
3 Select Tier-0 Router from the drop-down menu.
On page 13, deploying Tier 0 Gateways
A tier-0 gateway performs the functions of a tier-0 logical router. It processes traffic between the logical
and physical networks
1 From your browser, log in with admin privileges to an NSX Manager at https://<nsx-manager-ipaddress>.
2 Select Networking > Tier-0 Gateways.
3 Click Add Tier-0 Gateway.
During the procedure to add the Tier-0 Gateway, the process is requiring that I add a tag. How have you all address Tags?
Thanks in advance....
Tag is not required. I know the UI is a bit confusing there. If you want to use tagging on your objects, “tag” is required while “scope” is optional. That’s what it’s trying to tell you there.

Hi,
They are exactly the same. Terminology was changed in version 2.4 and the release of the simplified UI. The old naming is still used in the manager UI.
Hi Serbi
Thanks for responding...What about the requirement to add a Tag? Can't get pass that requirement to deploy the LR.

Replaying to you question: "I am confused about whether to deploy a Tier-0 Router or a Tier-0 Gateway."
Here is a nice introduction of the two new NSX-T 2.4 UI parts: Deploying NSX-T v2.4 for Enterprise PKS > Chapter: NSX-T v2.4 Management Interfaces
Simplified UI/API, Advanced UI/API
