However, host IP address pools are configured for the Management, vMotion, and vSAN VLANs using addresses in the .1 - .40 range in 0. This ensures IP addresses are preconfigured for hosts that may be added later as the VxRail cluster grows. 5.3 Using a jump box or laptop computer For VxRail deployment, VxRail Manager is accessed via the leaf switches connected to the nodes. This may be done by connecting a laptop computer directly to a leaf or by using a jump box (also known as a jump server or jump host) for remote access. Reserve at least one interface on a leaf switch for this connection. This interface is configured on the in-band management VLAN during switch configuration. Note: A PowerEdge server is used as a jump box in this deployment. More information on jump box connections is provided in Section 9. 5.4 DNS and NTP servers VxRail nodes must be able to reach a correctly configured DNS server from the in-band management network during and after VxRail deployment. The DNS server must include forward and reverse lookup entries for ESXi hosts, vCenter, the Platform Services Controller, VxRail Manager, and vRealize Log Insight. Add forward and reverse lookup records on the DNS server using the hostnames and IP addresses in the VxRail network configuration table (0). Table 4 summaries the DNS entries for this deployment.

Syslog server (instead of Log Insight)
This deployment uses four VxRail nodes. However, host IP address pools are configured for the
Management, vMotion, and vSAN VLANs using addresses in the .1 - .40 range in 0. This ensures IP
addresses are preconfigured for hosts that may be added later as the VxRail cluster grows.
5.3
Using a jump box or laptop computer
For VxRail deployment, VxRail Manager is accessed via the leaf switches connected to the nodes. This may
be done by connecting a laptop computer directly to a leaf or by using a jump box (also known as a jump
server or jump host) for remote access.
Reserve at least one interface on a leaf switch for this connection. This interface is configured on the in-band
management VLAN during switch configuration.
Note:
A PowerEdge server is used as a jump box in this deployment. More information on jump box
connections is provided in Section 9.
5.4
DNS and NTP servers
VxRail nodes must be able to reach a correctly configured DNS server from the in-band management network
during and after VxRail deployment. The DNS server must include forward and reverse lookup entries for
ESXi hosts, vCenter, the Platform Services Controller, VxRail Manager, and vRealize Log Insight.
Add forward and reverse lookup records on the DNS server using the hostnames and IP addresses in the
VxRail network configuration table (0). Table 4 summaries the DNS entries for this deployment.
