The following figure describes the high-level network architecture of the VxRail cluster:
Figure 8. Network architecture
We built this network using 2 x 10GbE connectivity. At no point during our testing did we encounter network saturation. VxRail can use 25 GbE connectivity when greater networking performance is required. See the VxRail Networking Guide in Dell EMC VxRail Documentation.
