The Add-NetworkSegment cmdlet creates an NSX segment. The cmdlet connects to SDDC Manager using the -server, -user, and -password values:

Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to SDDC Manager
Validates that network connectivity and authentication is possible to NSX Manager
Create the NSX segment if not already created in NSX Manager
