This completes the configuration for FESX-A. The configuration for FESX-B and C is very similar
except for a few issues which are as follows:
• IP subnets and IPX networks configured on FESX-B and FESX-C must be unique across the
entire network, except for the backbone port-based VLANs 5, 6, and 7 where the subnet is the
same but the IP address must change.
• There is no need to change the default priority of STP within VLAN 4.
• There is no need to include a virtual router interface within VLAN 4.
• The backbone VLAN between FESX-B and FESX-C must be the same at both ends and requires
a new VLAN ID. The VLAN ID for this port-based VLAN is VLAN 7.
