- Top-of-rack switch
- Configure all ports in trunk mode
- Configure one port in access mode for each public VLAN ID for each hypervisor
- In Abiquo, create a public VLAN with each public VLAN tag
- For each external/unmanaged VLAN, you can configure one port in access mode with the corresponding VLAN IDs for each hypervisor
- In Abiquo, the Cloud Administrator can Admin will create external/unmanaged VLANs and/or reserve tags for future requirements
- Abiquo recommends that you exclude the tags for external/public/unmanaged networks use tags that are excluded from all racks' VLAN rangesfrom the VLAN ranges for private networks of each rack
- In Abiquo, the Cloud Administrator can Admin will create external/unmanaged VLANs and/or reserve tags for future requirements
- Hypervisor hosts
- Every hypervisor in the rack is connected to an 802.1Q trunk port in the top-of-rack switch. All VMs created in the hypervisors will have virtual NICs connected to virtual switches.
- Abiquo supports distributed virtual switches and virtual switches.
- With each network interface on the hypervisor that is connected to a top-of-rack switch trunk port, connect to a virtual switch.
- Abiquo will create the VLANs/VNICs in the virtual switches.
- DHCP server
- Connect the DHCP server (Abiquo Server) to an 802.1Q trunk port in the top-of-rack switch.
- This is a requirement unless you are using guest setup or only using unmanaged networks. See Configuring DHCP
- When you configure the DHCP Relay Server (or DHCP Server) that is providing VLAN support, for each VLAN you will need to supply one IP address on the service network but outside of the virtual datacenter range
