Layer 2 and Layer 3 Connectivity
IMPORTANT—If VLT (Virtual LAN Trunking) is implemented between the router members then both the 2711
and 2712 VLANs must be created on both the router members. Inability to create the VLANs on each of the
router members causes an imbalanced L2 VLT configuration and will cause the routing required for the Edge
Cluster to fail.
1.4.2 Edge Overlay network
This network is used by the Edge Nodes in an NSX-T environment to enable the transport nodes to access
the capabilities of the NSX-T Data Center.
1.5 Network services
The network services for PowerEdge MX7000 compatibility must be the same as the network services used
for VMware Cloud Foundation deployment. The different network services are:
• Domain Name Service (DNS)
• Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
• Network Time Service (NTP)
1.6 Hardware requirements for deploying the JumpStart Solution
The hardware components are the same as listed in the Dell Technologies VMware Cloud Foundation 4.0 for
PowerEdge MX7000 and Dell Technologies VMware Cloud Foundation 4.0 for PowerEdge Rack Server
Deployment Guides.
