Chapter 14. Virtualization
Virtualization
allows
resources
to
be
allocated
in
a
fluid
manner
based
on
the
logical
needs
of
the
data
center,
rather
than
on
the
strict,
physical
nature
of
components.
The
following
virtualization
features
are
included
in
Enterprise
NOS
8.4
on
the
CN4093
10
Gb
Converged
Scalable
Switch
(CN4093):
Virtual
Local
Area
Networks
(VLANs)
VLANs
are
commonly
used
to
split
groups
of
networks
into
manageable
broadcast
domains,
create
logical
segmentation
of
workgroups,
and
to
enforce
security
policies
among
logical
network
segments.
For
details
on
this
feature,
see
Port
aggregation
A
port
LAG
pools
multiple
physical
switch
ports
into
a
single,
high
‐
bandwidth
logical
link
to
other
devices.
In
addition
to
aggregating
capacity,
LAGs
provides
link
redundancy.
For
details
on
this
feature,
see
Virtual
Network
Interface
Card
(vNIC)
support
Some
NICs,
such
as
the
Emulex
Virtual
Fabric
Adapter,
can
virtualize
NIC
resources,
presenting
multiple
virtual
NICs
to
the
server’s
OS
or
hypervisor.
Each
vNIC
appears
as
a
regular,
independent
NIC
with
some
portion
of
the
physical
NIC’s
overall
bandwidth.
ENOS
8.4
supports
up
to
four
vNICs
over
each
internal
switch
port.
For
details
on
this
feature,
see
Virtual
Link
Aggregation
Groups
(VLAGs)
With
VLAGs,
two
switches
can
act
as
a
single
logical
device
for
the
purpose
of
establishing
port
LAGs.
Active
LAG
links
from
one
device
can
lead
to
both
VLAG
peer
switches,
providing
enhanced
redundancy,
including
active
‐
active
VRRP
configuration.
For
details
on
this
feature,
see
VMready
The
switch’s
VMready
software
makes
it
virtualization
aware
.
Servers
that
run
hypervisor
software
with
multiple
instances
of
one
or
more
operating
systems
can
present
each
as
an
independent
virtual
machine
(VM).
With
VMready,
the
switch
automatically
discovers
virtual
machines
(VMs)
connected
to
switch.

details

this
feature,

Edge
Virtual
Bridging
(QBG)
The
802.1Qbg/Edge
Virtual
Bridging
(EVB)
is
an
emerging
IEEE
standard
for
allowing
networks
to
become
virtual
machine
(VM)
‐
aware.
EVB
bridges
the
gap
between
physical
and
virtual
network
resources.

feature,
