VM orchestrator manages workload
schedules through communication with
the Hypervisor at the Application Layer.
When the Virtulaization Station
orchestrator receives a transmission
request from the Hypervisor, the
orchestrator will signal the vSwitch
Controller (as the QNAP NAS’s network
control), and then the vSwitch Controller
of the control layer will dynamically
adjust the Hi-speed Virtual Switch so
that VMs can connect with the Physical
Networks or NAS storage for data
communication.
By employing a high-performance virtual
switch VMs are no longer conned to the
limits of the transmission speed of the
physical NICs when transmitting data
between VMs or between VMs and the
NAS. This additionally frees up 10GbE
network ports for other services instead.

Virtual Switch
Virtual Switch is the new network architecture employed by Virtual Station. Virtual Switches are an ecient and eective network design when compared to dedicated
network ports. Virtual Switches enable VMs' to share Ethernet interfaces removing the need for a dedicated VM network. Bypassing the need to transfer data through the
physical network equipment also boosts the transfer rate between VMs and the NAS. The Virtual Switch is capable of 10 GbE and port-trunking, enabling you to obtain a fast
and secure network environment.
Attaching an Ethernet interface (Port-trunking
available) to a Virtual Switch creates a bridged network.
The NAS and the Virtual Switch can share the same
Ethernet interface without occupation and supports
high-speed data transfer via internal routing.
Specify an Ethernet interface for a Virtual Switch to
enable dedicated routing between virtual switches and
external networks. Enable DHCP to automatically assign
an IP address to a Virtual Switch or choose to manually
assign an IP address.
Different networking modes of Virtual Switch
• External-only networking • Isolated networking
Not attaching any Ethernet interface
to a Virtual Switch creates an isolated
network. Manually setting IP address
of VMs can enable communication
between VMs connected to the same
Virtual Switch.
• Bridged networking
* Available port-trunking modes: Active Backup, IEEE
802.3ad, Balance-tlb.
