Yiping, ShapeBlue has a few good articles that lay out the infrastructure.

I have a few questions about configurations: 1. Since this is an internal deployment, most of zones won't really need public IP, so how can I tell CS that I don't need VLAN for public traffic ? Do I still need to give it something, say 192.168.1.0/24, without actually configure such network ? 2. I have multiple guest vlans to support, I assume I have to create one zone for each of supported guest vlans, IOW, I assumed that there can be only one guest CIDR for each zone. I have not found a definitive answer to this question from docs, is this assumption correct ? 3. I also assumed that different zones can use the same management and storage VLANs, just reserve different ip ranges for systemVM's on different zones. Is this correct ? Appreciate all helps. Best regards, Yiping
