VCSFabric
• Brings compute to the storage
• Network becomes the backplane (East/West Traffic becomes dominant)
• Needs simplicity via automation, replication speed, low latency and burst tolerance

Nutanix and the Network
10GbE Extreme VDX Network Interconnect
The network becomes the Nutanix backplane: a flat fabric which should:
Form and Heal Automatically Scale-Out Non-Disruptively Provide VM Discovery & Mobility
Deliver High Replication Performance Offer Metro Services Offer Visibility and Extensibility

• Rigid architecture, north-south optimized
• Inefficient link utilization
• Individually managed switches
• VM-ignorant
• No network virtualization
ETHERNET FABRICARCHITECTURE
• Topology freedom, east-west optimized
• All links active, L1/2/3 multipathing
• Fabric managed as one logical switch
• VM-aware
• Native and overlay network virtualizationLeaf

Auto-Configuration with Logical Chassis
Configuring LAG (for two members)
Execute the following commands on one switch:
• configure terminal
• interface port-channel 1
• switchport
• switchport mode trunk
• switchport trunk allowed vlan all
• qos flowcontrol tx on rx on
• mtu 9208
• no shutdown
• interface tengigabitethernet 1/Ø/5
• channel-group 1 mode active type standard
• no shutdown
• interface tengigabitethernet 1/Ø/6
• channel-group 1 mode active type standard
• no shutdown
• exit
Repeat same commands on other end switch.
