architecture and services. Configuration-wise, you’ll want to set
“core_plugin" to “vmware_nsx.neutron.plugins.vmware.plugin.NsxVPlugin” and
“service_plugins” should include
“neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.plugin.LoadBalancerPlugin,vmware_nsx.neutron.services.l2gateway.plugin.NSxL2GatewayPlugin”.
in your neutron.conf file and then configure the plugin options. Most of
what you’ll need is found here:

line 49 since you’re using NSXv. Then fill in the NSXv plugin
configuration options in the [nsxv] section in lines 61-181, and you may
optionally want to tinker with the [nsx_sync] section in lines 239-276. You
can ignore most of the rest as it mostly pertains to the NSX-mh and DVS
plugins. If it’s useful I can send you some sample configs from one of my
lab setups; just let me know!
