Topology with Layer 3 uplinks

Topology with Layer 3 uplinks

  • In this example, three VxRail nodes are connected to a pair of Leaf switches with SmartFabric Services (SFS) enabled. Leaf1A and Leaf1B connect using Layer 3 (L3) routed connections to a switch pair named External-A and External-B. A DNS/NTP server/remote deployment workstation connects to the external switches with a VLT port channel.

    Figure 2. Remote deployment topology with Layer 3 uplinks
    Note: The DNS/NTP server/remote deployment workstation can be one system as shown or three separate systems. It does not have to connect in this manner as long as it has a route to the External Management network, 172.18.11.0/24 in this example.

    For remote deployment, the VxRail Manager VM is placed on the External Management VLAN and assigned an IP address of 172.18.11.72/24.

    All VxRail node ports on the leaf switches are tagged in the External Management VLAN, 1811.
