The PowerEdge MX chassis and rack servers are connected through leaf switches. VMs are deployed on each of the three compute devices as shown in the figure above. This scenario consists of a Dell EMC PowerEdge MX740c compute sled deployed in each PowerEdge MX chassis, and a Dell EMC PowerEdge R730xd rack server.
All the management links use the same ESXi-MGMT VLAN. The ESXi host VMs use the corresponding VLANs for VM to VM connectivity. The example in the section below shows the VLAN and IP allocation information that is used.
