between the IRF cluster and the virtual machine’s default gateway (simulated by an HP E-Series
switch).
Traffic flow testing uses ping packets from VM1 (192.168.1.178) to its default gateway
(192.168.1.1). The VM traffic has two paths to reach its default gateway, depending on how the
vSwitch hashes VM traffic to a specific vmnic.

Two bundle interfaces (Bridge-Aggregation 2 and Bridge-Aggregation 3) exist between the Virtual
Connect and the IRF logical switch because Virtual Connect currently does not support link bundling
across two different physical modules.
