The OMNI vCenter PortGroup VLAN automation process does not add Manual networks to auto uplinks, and does not remove
them from SmartFabric. Add Manual networks to uplinks using the OMNI portal if needed. The OMNI VLAN automation process
uses Manual networks for ServerInterfaces. If you are using the VLANs for the OMNI registered vCenter PortGroup, it
is not recommended to use the OMNI portal to create a network. OMNI automation manages those VLANs or networks by itself.
For complete information, see OMNI vCenter integration.
You can configure five types of networks including multi rack L3 VLAN, general purpose, VXLAN networks (for L2 and L3
profiles), VLAN networks (for L2 and L3 profiles), and L3 routed interfaces (for L3 profiles only).
Configure networks
You can manage general purpose, VXLAN and VLAN networks, and L3 routed interfaces.
From SmartFabric, select the instance > Network. From Network tab, you can create, edit, and delete general purpose, VXLAN
and VLAN networks, and L3 routed interfaces.
Configure multi rack L3 VLAN
Starting from 2.0 release, OMNI allows you to configure L3 VLAN network for the racks to which the servers are connected.
Using this feature, you can create a L3 VLAN network for each VLT pair (rack) with a different subnet. This network is used for
NSX-T overlay to create VTEP networks. Create, edit, and delete multi rack L3 VLAN networks from OMNI.
This feature is used as part NSX-T workflow. As part of automation, OMNI creates all the NSX-T networks as multi rack L3
VLAN networks. You can edit and provide the Layer 3 details to the NSX-T networks. For more information, see OMNI support
for NSX-T.
