Plan network settings for vCenter Server management network

Plan network settings for vCenter Server management network

  • Before VxRail version 7.0.350, the VxRail-managed vCenter and VxRail Manager were placed on the same VxRail external management network with the ESXi hosts, and shared the same VLAN and subnet. Starting with VxRail version 7.0.350, these virtual appliances can instead be assigned an IP address on a separate subnet and the subnet assigned a separate VLAN.

    If you plan to deploy the virtual management components into a subnet separate from the ESXi hosts, capture the network properties.
