Management network switches: One, 1 GbE and one BMC (iDRAC) port per
node.
IP addresses
Virtual IP and AMS features are not supported by VxFlex Ready Node v2.0, but it
is recommended to take the corresponding configurations into account when
planning your network, to streamline future support for these features. Reserve
an additional IP address in each Data Network for future use.
Prepare IP addresses in your network for the VxFlex Ready Node servers, based
on the following calculations:
Table 3 VxFlex OS management IP network
Item Description
N Number of nodes
IP address pools The pools of IP addresses used for static allocation for the following
groups:
1. Node_MGMT_IP = Management IP addresses of the VxFlex Ready
Node servers
2. BMC_MGMT_IP = BMC (iDRAC) IP address for each node
The formula to calculate IP address subnet pool or subnet needs is: N*Node_MGMT_IP
+N*BMC_M Optional (AMS server IP address)
Note
Each pool can belong to a single subnet or to several subnets, as long as the AMS
server has routable networking access to the Management IP address.
The VxFlex OS Data IP network requires 2 separate subnets.

Subnet #1 The pools of IP addresses used for static allocation for
the following groups:
1. Node_DATA1_IP = internal (interconnect) IP
addresses of the VxFlex Ready Node servers
2. MDM_Cluster_Virtual_IP_DATA1 = the Virtual IP
addresses of the MDM cluster in the "Data1" network
For clarity, the first
subnet is referred to
as "Data1"
The formula to calculate the subnet pool or subnet needs is: N*Node_DATA1_IP
