Hi noggers, I have a UCS/Bladeserver that i want to understand how management traffic is handled to and from VMs. The UCS/Bladeserver has a dedicated management interface and can be connected to the management network for configuration purposes. My question is how is management taken care of for VMs?
Is it best practice to present a separate vnic for vnic management to each VM? This alows for layer2 segmentation from the primary service delivery vnic. The layer3 interface for the vnic management is a firewall or similar and can interface with the backend management network. This allows for segmentation and isolation of the forwarding plance and the management plane. The other option is to collapse all layer2 networks into a single layer2 domain which is not a good idea. How do you handle VM management?
