Networking

The networking section consists of two subsections, underlay and overlay. The underlay subsection contains the following blocks of VLAN parameters: ILO-OOBM, vMotion, vSAN, ESXI_MGMT, vCENTER_HA, VM_MGMT, API, OAM, EXTERNAL, PROVIDER-VLAN, and L3-VNI.

The following table describes the parameters in the underlay subsection with the example values:

NOTE:

The details of a network are provided as an example in the following table. The remaining networks must be similarly configured.

Table 8: Underlay
Parameters	Description
`underlay`	Underlay is the Layer 3 (L3) IP network that routes VXLAN packets as normal IP traffic.
`name`	Enter the descriptive name of the corresponding network. NOTE: We recommend not to use the same name for multiple networks.
`type`	Type of the network corresponding to the network diagram. This field is autopopulated after JSON generation.
`cidr`	Enter the cidr value based on the customer input.
`description`	Enter the description of the corresponding network.
`gateway`	Enter the gateway value based on the network.
`ip_range_start`	Enter the IP address range based on the server and switch counts.
`ip_range_end`	Enter the IP address range based on the server and switch counts.
`vlan`	Enter the vlan value based on the customer input.
`vlan_range`	The total range of the VLANs that can be used. NOTE: This parameter is applicable only to the `PROVIDER-VLAN` network.
`vxlan`	Enter the vxlan value based on the customer input.
`vxlan_range`	The total range of the VxLANs that can be used. NOTE: This parameter is applicable only to the `PROVIDER-VLAN` network.

Table 9: Overlay
Overlay	The underlay is the Layer 3 (L3) IP network that routes VXLAN packets as normal IP traffic. The overlay refers to the virtual Ethernet segment created by this forwarding.
`name`	Enter the descriptive name of the corresponding network. NOTE: We recommend not to use the same name for multiple networks.
`type`	Type of the network corresponding to the network diagram. This field is autopopulated after JSON generation.
`cidr`	Enter the cidr value based on the customer input.
`description`	Enter the description of the corresponding network.
`gateway`	Enter the gateway value based on the network.
`ip_range_start`	Enter the IP address range based on the server and switch counts.
`ip_range_end`	Enter the IP address range based on the server and switch counts.
`vlan`	Enter the vlan value based on the customer input.
`vlan_range`	The total range of the VLANs that can be used. NOTE: This parameter is applicable only to the `PROVIDER-VLAN` network.
`vxlan`	Enter the VxLAN value based on the customer input.
`vxlan_range`	The total range of the VxLANs that can be used. NOTE: This parameter is applicable only to the `PROVIDER-VLAN` network.
`description`	Enter the description of the corresponding network.
