NSX-T 3.1 Transport Zone - NVDS Switch Name no longer a option

Hello all

I am running vSphere 6.7 and have successfully deployed NSX-T 3.1.  I am running NSX-T 3.1 as a micro-segmentation only configuration.  The issue is when I deploy a Transport Zone the line to add the Switch name is no longer there.  For example in NSX 3.0 when deploying a transport zone you can create your N-VDS Switch

With NSX-T 3.1 that option no longer exists:

Since I am running vSphere 6.7, do I need to step down to NSX-T 3.0?

Thanks in advance.

The requirement for the hostswitchname to be identical with the switch name in Transport zone is not required anymore with NSX-T 3.1, it was deprecated. That's the reason you don't see that option
