10 Managing VAN Fabric topologies
VFM displays internal topologies of DCs and the connections between DCs and IP network by
using IMC-PLAT network topologies.
VAN Fabric topologies include LAN topologies and SAN topologies.
For more information, see HP IMC Base Platform Administrator Guide.
Managing LAN topologies
The LAN topology displays all DCs managed by VFM. For each DC, it displays all network devices,
servers, storage devices, physical links, and the connections between the DC and the IP network.
LAN topologies include the following:

• SPB topology
• TRILL topology
All of the topologies respectively correspond with the EVI, SPB, and TRILL functions.
