VXLAN Data Networks
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Virtual eXtensible Local Area Networks \(|VXLANs|\) data networks are an
|
|
alternative to |VLAN| data networks.
|
|
|
|
A |VXLAN| data network is implemented over a range of |VXLAN| Network
|
|
Identifiers \(|VNIs|.\) This is similar to the |VLAN| option, but allows
|
|
multiple data networks to be defined over the same physical network using
|
|
unique |VNIs| defined in segmentation ranges.
|
|
|
|
Packets sent between |VMs| over virtual project networks backed by a |VXLAN|
|
|
data network are encapsulated with IP, |UDP|, and |VXLAN| headers and sent as
|
|
Layer 3 packets. The IP addresses of the source and destination compute nodes
|
|
are included in the outer IP header.

|prod-os| supports two configurations for |VXLANs|:

Before you can create project networks on a |VXLAN| provider network, you must
|
|
define at least one network segment range.
