VCF 4.2 utilize vRealize on VLAN network?

[klancy43]

I'm evaluating VCF 4.2 to build a SDDC and would like to clarify some doubts about VLAN network with vRealize products.

I did see some topics about this, such as this: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78608 and the document "Management Domain Implementation with VLAN-Backed Networks to Support Cloud Operations and Automation in the First Region".

want a VCF environment with vRealize integrated together, would like to know:

1. can the vRealize products be deployed on traditional VDS vlan portgroup instead of NSX-T vlan segment? can i say that deploy vRealize on traditional VDS portgroup will break the unified management of a complete VCF architecture?

2. the deployment of vRealize products always start via SDDC manager after the VCF bring-up process is finished, regardless of which type of network?

3. will the standard or consolidated VCF type affect the deployment of vRealize products? (or maybe there's no relation?)

VMware Recommend to use the AVN , if you dont want to show it , then you can used the VMware KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/78608 , it has a document attached which you have to follow. 

So this will be support and it will not break your VCF.

I am unable to use BGP in my environment so that's how I did it using the document referenced.
