Traffic on Each VLAN
The two VLANs carry the following traffic.
n
One VLAN is for the shared network for vCenter, Web Console, DB Name Service, and DB Access
Networks.
n
One VLAN is for the Internal Network. This VLAN carries internal management traffic between databases,
the Data Director Management Server, and the DB Name Server. The Internal Network must be a VLAN.
Required IP Addresses and DHCP Setup
This minimum configuration requires DHCP on the shared (vCenter Server/Web Console/Internal) and DB
Access networks. To handle internal management traffic, the network DHCP range should have at least as
many IP addresses as the number of databases. See “Data Director Networks, IP Allocation, and Firewalls,”
on page 15.
