Managing networks
You can configure logical networks that represent your environment, for the tagged and untagged VLANs. These logical
networks are used to provision the appropriate VLANs on the associated switch port for the physical server NIC port.
NOTE: VLANs are only assigned to servers connected to switches in Fabric mode. For servers connected to switches in Full
Switch mode, the VLAN information is ignored.
In tagged networks, a port handles multiple VLANs. VLAN tagged networks help identify which packet belongs to the VLAN on
the other side. A packet is tagged with a VLAN tag in the Ethernet frame. A VLAN ID is put in the header to identify the network
to which it belongs.
In untagged networks, one port handles only one VLAN.
To view the list of networks, click Configuration > Networks. The Networks page with the list of networks is displayed. You
can view the name, description, and VLAN ID of the networks.
A summary of the selected network is displayed on the right side.
You can perform the following tasks on the Networks page:
● Define networks
● Edit networks
● Delete networks
● Export networks
Topics:
• SmartFabric VLAN management and automated QoS
• Defining networks
• Editing networks
• Exporting network configurations
• Deleting network configurations
SmartFabric VLAN management and automated QoS
Besides assigning VLANs to server profiles, SmartFabric Services automate QoS settings based on user input. When a VLAN is
created and you select the related traffic type (such as iSCSI and vMotion), the SFS engine assigns the correct QoS setting to
that VLAN. You can also select a “metal” such as gold and bronze to assign your own priority values to the traffic.
Table 6. Network traffic types - QoS settings
Network Traffic Type Description QoS Setting
General Purpose (Bronze) Used for low-priority data traffic 2
General Purpose (Silver) Used for standard/default priority data
traffic
3
General Purpose (Gold) Used for high–priority data traffic 4
General Purpose (Platinum) Used for extremely high–priority data
traffic
5
Cluster Interconnect Used for cluster heartbeat VLANs 5
Hypervisor Management Used for hypervisor management
connections such as the ESXi
management VLAN
