After the data center network architecture is defined and core network requirements are addressed, the next step is to prepare the data center network for the deployment of Cloud Foundation on VxRail. The first step is to capture and record the configuration settings for the deployment of Cloud Foundation on VxRail. Dell Professional Services will work with key stakeholders to capture the required information before moving forward to the network preparation phase.

• The table in Appendix C: Cloud Foundation on VxRail describes the core VLANs and subnets that are required for the initial deployment of Cloud Foundation on VxRail.
• The table in Appendix D: VxRail network configuration describes the configuration settings to deploy a VxRail cluster to support a management domain or VI workload domain.
• The table in Appendix E: Cloud Builder and management VI workload configuration describes the configuration settings required for an initial deployment of the Cloud Foundation management workload domain.
• The table in Appendix F: VI workload domain configuration settings describes the configuration settings required to deploy a standard VI workload domain.
• The table in Appendix G: Edge gateway configuration describes the settings required to enable connectivity to the upstream physical network with the NSX edge gateways.
• The table in Appendix H: Application virtual network configuration describes the settings required for Cloud Builder to auto-configure the Application Virtual Network after the initial deployment of the Cloud Foundation management workload domain.

The remaining tasks to prepare the data center network for initial deployment of the Cloud Foundation on VxRail, and move forward with the rest of the workflows, depends on this activity being completed.
