Virtual bridges • Do not delete or rename OVS bridge br0.
• Do not modify the native Linux bridge
virbr0.
OVS bonded port Aggregate the 10 GbE interfaces on the
(bond0) physical host to an OVS bond on the default
OVS bridge br0 and trunk these interfaces on
the physical switch.
1 GbE and 10 GbE Do not include the 1 GbE interfaces in the
interfaces (physical same bond as the 10 GbE interfaces.
host)
IPMI port on the • Do not trunk switch ports that connect to
hypervisor host the IPMI interface.
• Configure the switch ports as access ports
for management simplicity.

Upstream physical Nutanix recommends the use of 10Gbps, line-
switch rate, non-blocking switches with larger buffers
for production workloads.
Physical Network Add all the nodes that belong to a given
Layout cluster to the same Layer-2 network segment.
CVM Do not remove the CVM from either the OVS
bridge br0 or the native Linux bridge virbr0.

Access Mode
Configuring a Virtual NIC to Operate in Access or Trunk
Mode
In this mode, the virtual NIC can send and receive traffic only
over its own VLAN, which is the VLAN of the virtual network
to which it is connected.
28
Trunk Mode
Configuring a Virtual NIC to Operate in Access or Trunk
Mode
A virtual NIC in trunk mode can send and receive traffic over
any number of VLANs in addition to its own VLAN.
• You can also convert a virtual NIC from the trunk mode to
the access mode.
