Implementing SharePoint Server 2010 on Dell vStart Solution - A Reference Architecture for a

SharePoint Server 2010 farm on vStart 100 Hyper-V Solution

Figure 3 LAN network architecture - High level overview

Also, a combination of Network Daughter Card (NDC) and add-in NIC ports was used for the LAN traffic

and a Smart Load Balanced (SLB) network team was created with these network ports on each of the

Hyper-V cluster nodes. This enables fault tolerance against any physical link failures at either NDC or

the add-in NIC.

NOTE: The VLAN details for OOB management traffic is not shown in Figure 3 as the OOB traffic does

not use the NDC or add-in NIC ports on the Hyper-V host. Instead, the OOB traffic uses the iDRAC 7

network interface available separately.

Three different Hyper-V virtual network switches were created based on the network traffic

segregation provided by VLANs. The following table shows the mapping of VLANs to virtual switches and

the purpose of these VLANs in the SharePoint architecture:
