Network Types

Using ASM you can manage the following network types.

• Private LAN— Used to access network resources for functions such as vMotion traffic or heartbeat

communication.

• Public LAN— Used to access network resources for basic networking activities.

NOTE: Private and public LANs are functionally identical in ASM. The purpose of offering both

labels is to help users categorize LANs based on functional use.

• SAN (iSCSI)— Used to manage storage-related traffic on an iSCSI network. If an IP address pool is

associated with the network, then ASM can use it to configure the iSCSI initiator IP address when

doing a SAN (iSCSI) boot. Static or DHCP.

• SAN (FCoE)— Used to identify storage-related traffic on a Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE)

network.

• Hypervisor Management — Used to identify the management network for a hypervisor or operating

system deployed on a server.

VLAN ID

A VLAN ID is a unique identifier that enables switching and routing of network traffic.

The VLAN ID must be a number between 1 and 4094. If using a flat network (no VLANs), type a value of 1.
