Figure 53. Routing between VxRail Manager and VxRail satellite nodes
Each VxRail satellite node is assigned a management IP address during the installation process. At initial power-on, the VxRail satellite node is considered stranded until a connection with a VxRail Manager instance is established.
Plan your data center network to allow the VxRail external management network to route externally. Work with your network administrators or service providers to support this network to route to each planned VxRail satellite node.
