Network types

Using ASM, you can manage the following network types.
  • Private LAN— Used to access network resources for functions such as vMotion traffic or heartbeat communication.
  • Public LAN— Used to access network resources for basic networking activities.
    • NOTE: Private and public LANs are functionally identical in ASM. The purpose of offering both labels is to help users categorize LANs based on functional use.
  • SAN (iSCSI)— Used to manage storage-related traffic on an iSCSI network. If an IP address pool is associated with the network, then ASM can use it to configure the iSCSI initiator IP address when doing a SAN (iSCSI) boot. Static or DHCP.
  • SAN (FCoE)— Used to identify storage-related traffic on a Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE) network.
  • Hypervisor Management — Used to identify the management network for a hypervisor or operating system deployed on a server.
  • Hypervisor Migration— Used to manage the network that you want to use for live migration. Live migration allows you to move running virtual machines from one node of the failover cluster to another node in the same cluster.
  • Hypervisor Cluster Private— Used for private cluster heartbeat network communication.
  • PXE — Used to manage Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) network for OS imaging on servers.
  • Fileshare — Used to manage the NFS traffic in the NetApp Storage file system.
  • Fileshare — Used to manage the NFS traffic in the NetApp Storage file system.
  • Hardware Management— Used for out-of-band management of hardware infrastructure.

  • FIP Snooping— Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Initialization Protocol (FIP) snooping provides security mechanism that prevents unauthorized access and data transmission to a Fibre Channel (FC) network.

    The FIP VLAN Request is multicast to the destination MAC Address of ALL-FCF-MACs.  The Source Address for the VLAN Request is the ENode MAC and it is important to note that the frame is transmitted without an 802.1Q (VLAN) tag
