Introduction to data center network preparation

  • After decisions have been made about the selected network architecture and scale, and the planning efforts for the VxRail cluster are completed, certain tasks must be undertaken in the data center network based on those past efforts to prepare for the integration of the VxRail cluster and the SmartFabric-enabled network into the destination data center. The preparation steps will vary depending upon the decisions that are made for the network settings assigned to the VxRail cluster and the uplink integration into the data center network.

    VxRail traffic traverses the SmartFabric network using VxLAN tunneling. Decision must be made about which networks are passed upstream, and by what method these networks are passed upstream.
