Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 - VLAN and Subnets for Networking Configuration

Conguring jumbo frames is a best practice for both vMotion and vSAN networks, both of which are core components of Cloud
Foundation. All the switch ports on the modular switches and up to the aggregation switches used to connect multiple PowerEdge
MX7000 enclosures together must be congured for jumbo frames. It is also recommended to congure jumbo frames on the VXLAN
network. The validation phase (run as part of the Cloud Foundation installation process) tests end-to-end connectivity of all specied
devices and fail if not correctly congured for jumbo frames.
VLAN and subnets for networking conguration
The following table shows the VLAN and networking data that are used for the Cloud Foundation deployment. In our example, private
addresses are used for Management, vSAN, vMotion, and VXLAN networks. However, this is not mandatory.
