out-of-band management. In addition, uplinks to core infrastructure provide connectivity to the
solution support services (AD, DNS, NTP, and database for management applications).
SAN – Storage Area Network - This network supports iSCSI data. Uplinks are supported to connect into
an existing iSCSI network; however, these uplinks are not required for full solution functionality. SAN
switch out-of-band management also occurs on this network.
The following sections include an in-depth discussion of the farm and iSCSI SAN network architecture
used in the SharePoint deployment.
LAN architecture
The LAN includes two PowerConnect 7048 switches, which support Farm, Management, Hyper-V Cluster
Private, SQL Cluster Private, WFE NLB, Live Migration, and OOB traffic. These traffic types are logically
separated through the use of VLANs.
The two switches used for farm connectivity were stacked together, which forms a single logical switch
and provides a 64 GB link between the two PowerConnect 7048 switches. The solution provides four 1
GB uplinks from each switch to link into an existing core network infrastructure.
As shown in Figure 3 (below), the traffic on the LAN is segregated into seven virtual LANs (VLANs); one
VLAN each for:
VM/ Farm traffic
Hyper-V Host Management traffic
Live Migration traffic
SQL Cluster Private traffic
Hyper-V Cluster Private
SharePoint NLB traffic
OOB traffic
VLAN tagging was performed through switch tagging as well as host level tagging.
