Network design

  • VxRail is delivered ready to deploy and attach to any 10 GbE or 25 GbE network infrastructure using IPv4 and IPv6. As a best practice, we recommend using dual switches to eliminate the network as a single point of failure. In this solution, we designed the VxRail clusters network as follows:

    • Configured two top-of-rack switches to provide 10 Gb or 25 Gb Ethernet connectivity to VxRail
    • Used VLANs to logically group devices on different network segments or subnetworks
    • Used separate vSphere virtual distributed port groups to isolate the network communication for each network:
    • vSphere management network
    • vSphere vMotion network
    • vCenter network
    • vSAN management network
    • Splunk Enterprise network

    The following figure shows the VxRail network design of this solution:
