Using multiple VSCs
When multiple VSCs are defined, it is important to know how user traffic is matched to a VSC
definition. When VSCs have access control enabled, incoming traffic is handled on the
controller as follows:
About the default VSC
The default VSC is automatically created by the controller. It is identified with the label
(Default) in the VSC list. Initially, this VSC is named HP and has the following properties:
