Dell EMC VMware Cloud Foundation for PowerEdge MX7000 Deployment Guide

VLANs and IP subnets

Network traffic types within Cloud Foundation are isolated from each other by using VLANs. Before deploying your SDDC, you must allocate VLAN IDs and IP subnets for each required traffic type. Configure the VLAN IDs and IP subnets in your network to pass traffic through your network devices. Before you start the Cloud Foundation deployment, verify that the allocated network information is configured and does not conflict with pre-existing services before starting your Cloud Foundation deployment.

The number and size of the subnets that are required for a deployment depends on:
  • The number of workload domains that are created
  • The number of clusters defined
  • The optional components that are installed

The following table lists the basic allocation of VLANs and IP subnets for a sample deployment. Use this sample to define the VLANs and IP subnets in your environment.

Table 1. VLANs and IP subnets for a sample deployment. The following table lists the basic allocation of VLANs and IP subnets for a sample deployment.
Workload Domain Cluster VLAN Function VLAN ID Subnet Gateway
Management Cluster-01 Management 1611 172.16.11.0/24 172.16.11.253
    vMotion 1612 172.16.12.0/24 172.16.12.253
    vSAN 1613 172.16.13.0/24 172.16.13.253
    VXLAN (NSX VTEP) 1614 172.16.14.0/24 172.16.14.253
    vRealize Suite (optional) 1616 172.16.16.0/24 172.16.16.253
    Uplink 1 2711 172.27.11.0/24 172.27.11.253
    Uplink 2 2712 172.27.12.0/24 172.27.12.253
  • NOTE: Cloud Foundation deploys vRealize Suite products to a dedicated VLAN-backed vSphere Distributed Port Group. The IP subnet must be routable to the Cloud Foundation management network and the firewall. Also, the networks should be disabled or configured as prescribed in the Cloud Foundation documentation.
