Description

When the physical NIC of the server is insufficient, the three network multiplexing can be adopted. The three network multiplexing is a network planning scheme in which the management network, physical edge network, and overlay network Interface reuse one aggregation interface.

Precautions

1. The aggregation interface is added to the active/standby mode, and the aggregation peer switch in the active/standby mode does not need to configure aggregation.

2. The active/standby mode only supports the aggregation of two network interfaces.
3. The current aggregation mode does not support the direct aggregation of two existing role network interfaces. You need to move the role to an idle network interface before aggregation.
4. The service interface does not support configuring VLAN sub-interfaces. The service VLAN can only be configured through the interface group of the virtual network.
5. It is recommended to set the upper traffic limit in the case of management, VXLAN, and service triple network multiplexing to ensure the stability of network traffic. When the management communication interface is not multiplexed, the upper traffic limit does not need to be configured. After the speed limit is enabled, you can view the flow of the management interface, VXLAN interface, and service interface in throughput trend on the node details page of Nodes.
6. It is only recommended to deploy in an environment with four 10 Gigabit interfaces.
7. After the active upgrade from the old version, the functional operation will fail if the aggregation interface already exists in the original environment, but it will not affect normal use. The operation can be supported after the node is restarted.

Prerequisites

The multiplex interface of three networks in one must be a 10 Gigabit interface.

Steps

1. Click Nodes > Physical Interfaces on the console.

2. Because it does not support the direct aggregation of two existing role network interfaces, you must first reuse the Overlay Network Interface to the management communication interface and click Communicate Interface > Overlay Network Interface > Edit Configuration to modify eth1 to eth0.

3. Aggregate eth0 and eth1, click Add Multiple aggregation Interfaces and select eth0 and eth1. The aggregation mode is recommended to load according to MAC or IP address.

4. After aggregation, use the VLAN sub interface to isolate VLANs from different network planes. Click Add Multiple VLAN Subinterfaces, and fill in the corresponding VLAN. The IP address information does not need to be filled in.

5. After the VLAN subinterfaces configuration is complete, switch the management communication interface and Overlay Network Interface to the corresponding subinterface. Navigate to Nodes > Communication Interfaces > Management Interface to configure the management interface, and click Overlay Network Interface to configure the data communication interface.
6. Click Virtual Network > Edge to modify the Edge as an aggregation port.
7. The configuration is completed.
8. It is recommended to set the upper limit of traffic when the management, VXLAN, and service networks are multiplexed to ensure the stability of network traffic.
