Ethernet networks

You can create the following types of Ethernet networks:

Use Ethernet or RoCE networks as data networks. RoCE networks are by default tagged networks. These Ethernet or RoCE networks can be used in internal networks or in uplink sets.

You can categorize the purpose of the network as:
  • General
  • Management
  • VM Migration
  • iSCSI
  • Fault Tolerance

The network purpose does not affect the behavior of the network.

Private network

A private network is available for Ethernet or RoCE network only. The private network feature provides additional network security by limiting traffic flow for the given network. Since the server ports in a private network cannot communicate with each other within the logical interconnect, all server packets are sent through the logical interconnect and out the uplink ports.
