In this exercise, you will create logical networks for one of your clusters that will separate RHV management traffic from storage and VM traffic.
Outcomes
You should be able to:
Create a logical network named vm-net and tag it as VLAN 10, for VM traffic.
Create an untagged logical network for storage traffic named storage-net.
Log in to workstation as student using student as the password.
On workstation, run the lab manage-networks start command.
This command runs a start script that determines if the Red Hat Virtualization environment is configured and working.
[student@workstation ~]$lab manage-networks start
Log in to workstation as student user with student as password.
Open Firefox and log in to the Administration Portal, https://rhvm.lab.example.com, as the admin user with the internal profile, using redhat as password.
Separate the management network traffic from virtual machine network traffic by creating a new logical network called vm-net for the virtual machine traffic.
This network will be on VLAN 10.
In the menu click on , then select . Click the button to create a new network. In the New Logical Network dialog window, fill in the fields using the following information:
Table 6.1.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Data Center | development |
| Name | vm-net |
| Description | VM Network |
| Comment | Network for VM Traffic |
| Enable VLAN Tagging | Enabled |
| In the text field next to the Enable VLAN tagging check box, enter the VLAN number: | 10 |
| VM network | Enabled |
Leave the other options with their default values and click the button to create the network.
Notice that the new network appeared on the list of available networks. This confirms the creation of the new logical network.
Create another logical network, called storage-net, to separate the storage traffic from other networks.
This logical network does not use VLAN tagging, but will eventually be assigned its own dedicated physical interface on each host in the cluster.
Click the button to create the new logical network.
In the New Logical Network dialog window, complete the fields as follows:
Table 6.2.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Data Center | development |
| Name | storage-net |
| Description | Storage Network |
| Comment | Network for storage traffic |
| Enable VLAN Tagging | Disabled |
| VM network | Disabled |
Leave the other options with their default values and click the button to create the network.
Notice that the new network displays on the list of available networks. This confirms the creation of the new logical network.
