HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Update 1 Installation and Configuration Guide for Provisioning with Virtual Resources

NOTE: In releases earlier than Virtual Connect 3.30, a VC module can be in "Map VLAN Tags"
mode or "Tunnel VLAN Tags" mode. Beginning with Virtual Connect 3.30, modules are always
in map mode, but a non-shared up-link set network can tunnel VLAN tags from an up-link port
through to a down-link port.
Configuring trunk and VLAN networks
To define trunk and VLAN networks, perform the following steps. For information about support
for Hyper-V VLAN tagging, see “Configuring trunk and VLAN networks to enable support for
Hyper-V VLAN tagging” (page 106).
1. Define Virtual Connect networks using Virtual Connect Manager.
• Tunnel mode: Define each tunnel trunk in VC, which passes tagged packets unmodified.
(There is no need to inform VC which VLANs are carried by the tunnel.)
• Map mode: Define all networks in VC. Each VLAN carried by an uplink is explicitly
defined as a VC network. No VC network carries packets from multiple VLANs.
2. Discover Virtual Connect networks by refreshing the infrastructure orchestration console
Networks tab.
• VC networks are displayed as “Physical” in the Type column.
• VC networks that are configured as “tunnel VLAN tags” are displayed as “Trunk, Physical”
in the Type column.
