Configuration planning
5.1
VLANs and IP addresses
VLANs and IP addresses used for VxRail node traffic must be planned before switch configuration and VxRail
deployment can begin.
VxRail node traffic is divided into four or more VLANs, as shown in Table 1.
VLANs used for VxRail nodes
VLAN
Purpose
Management
Single VLAN for in-band management traffic used for VxRail node-to-node, ESXi
host management, vCenter server, NTP, DNS, and VxRail management traffic
vMotion
Single VLAN for virtual machine (VM) migration
vSAN
Single VLAN for vSAN storage traffic
VM Network(s)
One or more VLANs for VM data traffic
VLAN configuration and IP network addresses planned for this deployment are shown in Table 2.
