Brocade Virtual ADX Installation and Deployment Guide (Supporting ADX v03.1.00) - Manual (Page 45)

FIGURE 13 XenCenter: New Network type
Brocade Virtual ADX uses two of the four network types supported on the XenServer
platform:
• Single-Server Private Network - This type of network has no physical NIC connectivity
and is used to establish an internal virtual switch for connecting the virtual interfaces of
VMs on the XenServer host. Create a "Single-Server Private Network" for each Brocade
Virtual ADX data port that does not need physical NIC connectivity. If none of the three
Brocade Virtual ADX data ports require physical NIC connectivity, then create three
networks of this type; one for each data port.
NOTE
For a data port that does not need physical NIC connectivity but needs to be on one or
more VLANs, create a "Single-Server Private Network" and use the OVS configuration for
VLAN support described in
VLAN configuration using OpenvSwitch on page 51.
• External Network - This type of network is equivalent to a VLAN access port on a
hardware switch. An "External Network" passes traffic over the VLAN it is configured with
and provides connectivity to a physical NIC. Create an "External Network" for each
Brocade Virtual ADX data port that needs to be on a single VLAN and connected to a
physical NIC.
NOTE
If a data port needs to be on more than one VLAN with physical NIC connectivity, it
needs to use a default network (Network 0, Network 1, etc.) created by XenServer on
bootup and to use the OVS configuration for VLAN support described in
VLAN
configuration using OpenvSwitch on page 51.
c) Select the type of network that you want to create and click Next to provide a Name and
Description for the new network.
