Network traffic types within VMware Cloud Foundation are isolated from each other by using VLANs. Before deploying your SDDC, you must allocate VLAN IDs and IP subnets for each required traffic type. Configure the VLAN IDs and IP subnets in your network to pass traffic through your network devices. Before you start the Cloud Foundation deployment, verify that the allocated network information is configured and does not conflict with pre-existing services before starting your Cloud Foundation deployment.
- The number of workload domains that are created
- The number of clusters defined
- The optional components that are installed
The following table lists the basic allocation of VLANs and IP subnets for a sample deployment. Use this sample to define the VLANs and IP subnets in your environment.
