The following diagram shows the network architecture of this solution:
Figure 6. Network design of OpenShift nodes and PowerFlex SO nodes
At the physical layer, two supported Top of Rack (TOR) switches are used for redundancy and load-balancing purposes. A peer link is configured on both the TOR switches. VLANs are created to separate different traffic types on the network bonds.
The following table shows the different networks that are configured for this solution:
Network type | VLAN ID |
Ingress/API/OS Management | 105 * |
PowerFlex Management | 150 |
PowerFlex Data 1 | 151 |
PowerFlex Data 2 | 152 |
Note: *105, is the network required for OpenShift Ingress/API and must have Internet connectivity on this network.
