Connection via a Virtual Switch
Traffic arriving via a Virtual Switch passes to the appropriate Virtual System based on the destination MAC
address, as defined in the Virtual Switch forwarding table. Traffic arrives at the Virtual System via the Warp
Link associated with the designated MAC address.
Figure 2-10 Typical Virtual Switch scenario
If the destination MAC address does not exist in the Virtual Switch forwarding table, the traffic is broadcast
over all defined Warp Links. The Virtual Switch scenario is common for inbound traffic from external
networks or the Internet.
