VxRail networks

External management VLAN

Untagged traffic is recommended on the Native VLAN. If you want the host to send only tagged frames, manually configure the VLAN on each ESXi host using DCUI. Set tagging for your management VLAN on your switch before you deploy VxRail.

Internal management VLAN

This network traffic should stay isolated on the top-of-rack switches. The default VLAN ID is 3939.
