Description

PDR depends on a L2 Stretch between site A and site B with a MGMT segment under the same name in both sites.

However, the pre-check does not validate this.

Expected Behavior

Pre-check should throw an error if NSX Federation is not enabled.

Error message should specify which site the network segment is missing on.

Actual Behavior

Pre-check does not include NSX Federation validatiom.

Steps to Reproduce

Do not install NSX Federation and run PDR.

... of conversely, allow an option to create a segment with the same name assuming a VLAN backed port-group so the segment exists on both sides
