Rover Validation Servers

Verification was based on a Build Server VM and two identical Dell 740XD servers, one for the Regional Controller and one for the Rover edge node itself.

Rover Validation Networking

The diagram below shows the physical and L2 connectivity, the IP subnet plan, host and iDRAC addressing used in the validation.

The Rover deployment does not configure the networking subsystem thus the choice of switch subsystem components is not restricted to those shown and they can be replaced with devices offering equivalent functionality.

Rover Validation IP/VLAN Plan

Below is the detailed network and IP address plan
