Appliance Virtualization Platform supports both public and management traffic over the same network interface or separation of public and management traffic over separate interfaces. The default configuration is public and management traffic using the same network interface. When you install Appliance Virtualization Platform, the public network of virtual machines is assigned to vmnic0 or Server Ethernet port 1 of the server.
If the Out of Band Management Setup check box is clear on Create AVP Kickstart, the public and management interfaces of virtual machines are assigned on the public network. Assign public and management interfaces of virtual machines on the same network.
The management port of Appliance Virtualization Platform is assigned to the public interface.
If the Out of Band Management Setup check box is selected on Create AVP Kickstart, the public interfaces of virtual machines are assigned to vmnic0 or Server Ethernet port 1, and the Out of Band Management interfaces are assigned to vmnic2 or Server Ethernet port 3. Assign separate network ranges to the public and management interfaces of virtual machines. The management port must be given an appropriate IP address of the public and Out of Band Management network.
The management port of Appliance Virtualization Platform is assigned to the Out of Band Management network.
 | Note |
|
All virtual machines on an Out of Band Management enabled Appliance Virtualization Platform host must support and implement Out of Band Management. |
The vmnic1 or Server Ethernet port 2 of the server is assigned to the services port.
The internal Appliance Virtualization Platform hypervisor IP address from the services port is 192.168.13.6. After deploying the Appliance Virtualization Platform OVA, launch an SSH client while connected to the services port. Configure your computer for direct connection to the server with the following:
IP Address: 192.168.13.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.248
Gateway: 192.168.13.1
After deploying the Utility Services OVA, the services port IP address for the Utility Services shell is 192.11.13.6. Configure your computer for direct connection to the server with the following:
IP address: 192.11.13.5
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
Gateway: 192.11.13.6
You can access the Utility Services shell by using the IP Address 192.11.13.6.

An Appliance Virtualization Platform host and all virtual machines running on the host must be on the same subnet mask. If Out of Band Management is configured in an Appliance Virtualization Platform deployment, you need two subnet masks, one for each of the following:

When Appliance Virtualization Platform is installed, VMNIC0 is assigned to the public interface of virtual machines.
When deploying or reconfiguring Appliance Virtualization Platform:
If the Out of Band Management Setup check box is clear on Create AVP Kickstart, VMNIC0 is used for both network and management traffic.
If the Out of Band Management Setup check box is selected on Create AVP Kickstart, VMNIC2 is used for management by all the virtual machines on that hypervisor.
When you install the connection through the media gateway using Appliance Virtualization Platform , Ethernet ports are assigned to the public interface of the virtual machines. When you install the connection through the media gateway backplane using Appliance Virtualization Platform, the LAN port on the G4x0 Gateway is assigned to the public interface of virtual machines.
If Out of Band Management is enabled, the Out of Band Management network is assigned to a separate VLAN on the public interface. Otherwise all virtual machine interfaces are on the same network.
The Appliance Virtualization Platform management interface is assigned to:
The public VLAN if Out of Band Management is disabled
The Out of Band Management VLAN if Out of Band Management is enabled

To support Out of Band Management on S8300D, you require specific versions of gateway firmware. To ensure that you are running the correct version, see the gateway documentation. |
When Appliance Virtualization Platform installs the connection through the media gateway, Ethernet ports are assigned to the public interface of virtual machines. When Appliance Virtualization Platform installs the connection through the media gateway backplane, the LAN port on the G4x0 Gateway is assigned to the public interface of virtual machines.
If Out of Band Management is enabled, the Out of Band Management network is on the LAN2 interface on the S8300E faceplate.
The Appliance Virtualization Platform management interface is assigned to:
The public VLAN if Out of Band Management is disabled
The Out of Band Management network if Out of Band Management is enabled
