Network set details
•
Network sets are supported for use in server profiles only.
•
All networks in a network set must be Ethernet networks.
•
All networks in a network set must be configured in the same appliance.
•
A network can be a member of multiple network sets.
•
When a network is deleted, it is automatically deleted from all network sets to which it
belonged.
•
A network set can be empty (contain no networks) or can contain one or more of the networks
configured in the appliance. Empty network sets enable you to create network sets in the
configuration before you create the member networks, or to remove all of the member networks
before you add their replacements. However, if a server profile adds a connection to an empty
network set, the server cannot connect to any data center networks using that connection.
•
When you create or modify a network set, you can designate a network for untagged packets.
If you do not designate a network an untagged network, untagged packets are rejected.
•
Server traffic must be tagged with the VLAN ID of one of the Ethernet networks in the network
set. Untagged server traffic is either sent to the untagged network (if an untagged network is
defined) or is rejected (if no untagged network is defined).
•
The untagged network can send tagged and untagged traffic between the server and the
interconnect simultaneously.
•
When you create or modify a network set, you define the maximum bandwidth and the
preferred bandwidth for connections to that network set. A server profile can override the
preferred bandwidth but not the maximum bandwidth.
•
When you delete a network set, the networks that belong to the network set are not affected.
However, any servers with a connection to that network set are affected because their
connections are defined as being to the network set and not to the individual networks. Because
the network set is no longer available, the network traffic to and from that server through that
connection is stopped. When you delete a network set, any server profile connections that
specified that network set become undefined.
