networks on the switch server facing ports. In case of Rack Server, ASM will configure those vLANs

on TOR server facing ports (untag PXE vLANs, and tag other vLANs). In the case for Blade Servers,

ASM will configure those vLANs on the IOM server facing ports (untag PXE vLANs and tag other

vLANs).

more information, see Cluster Settings).

NOTE: The Select a Component drop-down list allows you to select a cluster instance and
