CONNECT DEPLOYMENT GUIDE
7.0 Configuring VXLAN networking
1. To configure VXLAN segments, from the left pane on vShield Manager GUI, click Data center and click Network Virtualization tab.
Refer to figure 21A SJ-TME-Lab datacenter below.
2. Under Network Virtualization click Preparation.
Figure 21A. Configuring VXLAN networking.
3. Click Edit, and select all participating clusters to participate in VXLAN networking. You need to designate a distributed switch and
assign a VLAN. Click Next. Refer to figures 21B, 21C and 21D below for an example of this.
4. Specify transport attributes such as teaming policy and MTU. The teaming policy options are Failover, Static EtherChannel and LACP
v1, v2 and v3. Click Finish.
VXLAN introduces 50-byte overhead to the original frames. Therefore, the maximum transmission unit (MTU) in the transport
network needs to be increased by 50 bytes. If the overlays use a 1500-byte MTU, the transport network needs to be configured
to accommodate 1550-byte packets at a minimum. Jumbo-frame support in the transport network is required if the applications
require larger frame sizes than 1500 bytes.
