Appendix B: Alternative Configuration for Tagged VLANs
The default Cisco HyperFlex installer defines only a single VLAN for virtual machine traffic in the Cisco UCS
configuration. In many cases, multiple VLANs are used to carry guest virtual machine traffic, and the standards set
at the customer data center require that all virtual machine traffic be tagged with the appropriate IEEE 802.1Q
VLAN ID. To accommodate that requirement, changes must first be made in the Cisco UCS configuration. To
modify the Cisco UCS settings for carrying multiple tagged VLANs, complete the following steps:
1. In Cisco UCS Manager, click the LAN tab in the navigation pane.
2. Choose LAN > Policies > root > Sub-Organizations > hx-cluster > vNIC-Templates.
3. Click the vNIC template named vm-network-a.
4. In the configuration pane, click Modify VLANs.
5. In the Modify VLANs window, verify that the radio buttons in the Native VLAN column are all cleared.
6. In the Modify VLANs window, click the Select box next to each VLAN that will be tagged and carry guest
virtual machine traffic to the vDS.
7. Click OK.
8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 for the vNIC template named vm-network-b, which will also carry tagged guest
virtual machine traffic.
