VxRail supports customizing the assignment of uplinks to VxRail networks, and also supports setting either an active/active or active/standby failover policy for the VxRail network port groups.
The following tables contain the default active/standby settings that are applied for the four predefined network traffic types that are required for initialization: Management, VxRail Management, VMware vCenter Server Network, VMware vSphere vMotion, and vSAN.
