HP OneView 1.05 User Guide

Network sets
You can define a collection of Ethernet data center networks to be identified by a single name,
called a network set. You can specify a network set instead of an individual network when you
define a connection from a server to the data center networks. By using network sets, you can
make changes to networks that are members of a network set without having to make changes to
each server profile that uses that network set.
Network sets are useful in virtual machine environments where each server profile connection must
access multiple networks. For example, you can configure a hypervisor with a vSwitch to access
multiple network VLAN IDs by creating a network set as a trunk that includes the networks that
have these VLAN IDs.
For more information about networking resources, see “Understanding the resource model”
(page 29).
For detailed information about the networking model for the HP OneView appliance, see “About
network connectivity” (page 135).
