These diagrams provide various options for physical wiring between VxRail nodes and the
adjacent ToR switches. All VxRail nodes are manufactured with Ethernet ports that are built into
the chassis.
VxRail nodes support NDC or adapters that OCP specifications support for the
integrated Ethernet ports, depending on then VxRail model. Optional PCIe adapter cards can be
installed in VxRail nodes to provide additional Ethernet ports for redundancy and increased
bandwidth. Options are displayed starting with connectivity from a single NDC/OCP adapter to
network topologies that address requirements for failure protection and optimal bandwidth
distribution.
If more Ethernet connectivity is required to support additional guest networks or
external storage use cases, reserve more slots on the VxRail nodes for PCIe adapter cards. For
a current requirement or potential future requirement, select a VxRail node model with
sufficient PCIe slots to accommodate the additional adapter cards. The examples include
topologies for predefined network profiles and custom network profiles.
With a predefined network profile, VxRail Manager automatically selects the
Ethernet ports for assignment to VxRail networks. With a custom network profile, the network
topology is manually configured using VxRail Manager. Custom network profiles are supported
with VxRail 7.0.130 or later.
Network profiles using six ports and eight ports for VxRail networking are supported with VxRail 7.0.400 or later.
