You can add an available network to a service or choose to define a new network for a configuration that was initially deployed outside of PowerFlex Manager. You cannot remove an added network using PowerFlex Manager.

About this task

Before you can add a network to a service, define the network.

You can add a static route to allow nodes to communicate across different networks. The static route can also be used to support replication in storage-only and hyperconverged services.

Prerequisites

Ensure that a new VLAN is created on any switches that need access to that VLAN and is added to any management cluster server-facing ports. The VLAN is then added it to any northbound trunks to other switches that it must communicate with.
