Internal networks for building a fabric The VLANs in the range from 4000 to 4094 are reserved for SFS internal use. • Cluster control VLAN: VLAN 4000 is used for internal clustering purpose. When SFS detects an ISL, it assigns the ISL to the tagged member of this VLAN. This VLAN is PVST enabled with root bridge that is forced on one of a spine switch. • IP-peer VLAN: The VLAN range is from 4001 to 4079, and is used for IP-peer. When SFS detects an ISL connection on either a leaf or spine switch, it assigns the ISL to the untagged member of this VLAN. IP address from reserved range is used for this VLAN. eBGP session is started for this IP. • Global untagged VXLAN VLAN: VLAN 4080. VXLAN requires one VLAN to be assigned globally for untagged port-scoped VLAN (Port, VLAN) pairs. • Internal BGP (iBGP) ICL VLAN: VLAN 4090. This VLAN is created on ICL. IP address from reserved range is used for this VLAN. iBGP session is started for this IP. SmartFabric Services logical entities There are three types of logical entities that are defined for the SmartFabric Services: Networks, uplinks, and server profiles. Networks Networks are SmartFabric services templates that are populated once and then can be associated with servers, uplinks, or interfaces. With in the context of SmartFabric services, you can define the following four types of networks: • General purpose networks • VXLAN networks • L3 VLAN networks • L3 Routed networks General purpose networks General purpose networks are L2 VLAN networks in VxRail and L2 VXLAN networks in L3 fabric. For L3 fabric, SmartFabric services automatically creates a virtual network corresponding to a network. This virtual network has one-toone mapping with the network, which means for each VLAN, there exists a virtual network with VNI same as the VLAN ID. VXLAN networks VXLAN network extends L2 connectivity over an underlay L3 connected network. Association of VXLAN network to interface creates a binding and associates this interface to VXLAN bridge. You need to create a virtual network template and a network template, and associate the virtual network template to network template. • The virtual network template defines the VNET-id. • Network template defines the VLAN ID. In addition to whatever is specified in the L2 VXLAN network, for L3 VXLAN, specify: • List of IP addresses. One IP address for each leaf. • ANY-CAST IP address L3 VXLAN network supports asymmetric-IRB. L3 VLAN network L3 VLAN network is used for L3 VLAN underlay. Specify: • VLAN ID • Pair of IP addresses to be assigned to the VLT pair. • VRRP gateway IP address for VIP L3 Routed network L3 Routed network is used to assign IP address on a single interface. Specify the IP address. Attach this network to any uplink that has a single interface. This network can only be attached to a single entity. SmartFabric Services 111

Internal networks for building a fabric

The VLANs in the range from 4000 to 4094 are reserved for SFS internal use.

•

Cluster control VLAN

: VLAN 4000 is used for internal clustering purpose. When SFS detects an ISL, it assigns the ISL to the tagged

member of this VLAN. This VLAN is PVST enabled with root bridge that is forced on one of a spine switch.

•

IP-peer VLAN

: The VLAN range is from 4001 to 4079, and is used for IP-peer. When SFS detects an ISL connection on either a leaf

or spine switch, it assigns the ISL to the untagged member of this VLAN. IP address from reserved range is used for this VLAN. eBGP

session is started for this IP.

•

Global untagged VXLAN VLAN

: VLAN 4080. VXLAN requires one VLAN to be assigned globally for untagged port-scoped VLAN

(Port, VLAN) pairs.

•

Internal BGP (iBGP) ICL VLAN

: VLAN 4090. This VLAN is created on ICL. IP address from reserved range is used for this VLAN.

iBGP session is started for this IP.

SmartFabric Services logical entities

There are three types of logical entities that are defined for the SmartFabric Services: Networks, uplinks, and server profiles.

Networks

Networks are SmartFabric services templates that are populated once and then can be associated with servers, uplinks, or interfaces.

With in the context of SmartFabric services, you can define the following four types of networks:

•

General purpose networks

•

VXLAN networks

•

L3 VLAN networks

•

L3 Routed networks

General purpose networks

General purpose networks are L2 VLAN networks in VxRail and L2 VXLAN networks in L3 fabric.

For L3 fabric, SmartFabric services automatically creates a virtual network corresponding to a network. This virtual network has one-to-

one mapping with the network, which means for each VLAN, there exists a virtual network with VNI same as the VLAN ID.

VXLAN networks

VXLAN network extends L2 connectivity over an underlay L3 connected network.

Association of VXLAN network to interface creates a binding and associates this interface to VXLAN bridge.

You need to create a virtual network template and a network template, and associate the virtual network template to network template.

•

The virtual network template defines the VNET-id.

•

Network template defines the VLAN ID.

In addition to whatever is specified in the L2 VXLAN network, for L3 VXLAN, specify:

•

List of IP addresses. One IP address for each leaf.

•

ANY-CAST IP address

L3 VXLAN network supports asymmetric-IRB.

L3 VLAN network

L3 VLAN network is used for L3 VLAN underlay.

Specify:

•

VLAN ID

•

Pair of IP addresses to be assigned to the VLT pair.

•

VRRP gateway IP address for VIP

L3 Routed network

L3 Routed network is used to assign IP address on a single interface. Specify the IP address.

Attach this network to any uplink that has a single interface. This network can only be attached to a single entity.
