Refer to the VxRail Network Configuration appendix for guidance on all of the settings that need to be collected to perform VxRail cluster automated initial build. This table lists the VLANs required for VxRail and for supporting the Application Virtual Network.
- By default, the external VxRail management network is the native VLAN. Since the typical Cloud Foundation on VxRail deployment will have more than one VxRail cluster per top-of-rack switch pair, it is advisable to select a value other than the native VLAN. Dell Technologies will change the default external management VLAN on each VxRail node to the recorded value before power-on.
- By default, the internal VxRail management network is 3939. Again, since the typical Cloud Foundation on VxRail deployment will have more than one VxRail cluster per top-of-rack switch pair, it is advisable to set a new VLAN for the second and subsequent VxRail clusters. Dell Technologies will change the internal management VLAN on each VxRail node to the recorded value before power-on.
- The vSAN and vMotion VLANs should be unique for each VxRail cluster.
- At least one guest network VLAN is required at initial build. The guest network can be removed after the initial build.
