Note: If using L2 uplinks to the external network, skip this section and go to Add a VxRail node to the cluster.
Traffic on the External Management network, VLAN 1811, must be able to reach the external network. To accomplish this with L3 uplinks, an IP address on virtual network 1811 is assigned to each leaf switch in the SmartFabric.
IP addresses are configured for the new leafs added to the SmartFabric, Leaf2A and Leaf2B. The examples used in this guide are shown in Table 11.
Note: Existing leaf IP addresses and the gateway IP address were configured during VxRail cluster deployment in the Additional configuration steps for L3 uplinks section of this guide.
