Configure multirack 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 multirack L3 VLAN networks from OMNI. With 2.1 release,
there is a provision to specify IP address for each switch in a rack when creating a multirack L3 VLAN.
This feature is used as part of NSX-T workflow. As part of automation, OMNI creates all the NSX-T networks as multirack 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.
