Overview

ZStack Cube Virtualization Edition organizes virtual networking through distributed switches, uplinks, distributed port groups, and Kernel adapters to provide consistent network connectivity for hosts, virtual machines, and internal platform traffic. After initializing basic resources, you can configure network resources based on service network, storage network, and access control requirements.

Distributed switches provide consistent virtual switching across hosts. Uplinks connect host physical NICs to distributed switches. Distributed port groups carry network configuration for VM NICs and Kernel adapters. Kernel adapters identify host-side management network or storage network traffic.

In addition to basic network resources, ZStack Cube Virtualization Edition provides network topology and security groups. Network topology shows the connection relationships among distributed switches, clusters, hosts, distributed port groups, and virtual machines. Security groups control ingress and egress traffic for VM NICs.
