Unicycle SR-IOV Validation Networking

The physical, L2, IP subnet, host and iDRAC/iLO addresses principles used in validation are the same as used in other validations of the same blueprint. Architectural details are shown here Network Architecture and details can be viewed from the pod specific input file Example Configuration Input File - Unicycle Pods with SR-IOV Dataplane on Dell 740XD Servers and Example Configuration Input File - Unicycle Pods with SR-IOV Dataplane on HP DL380 Gen10 servers.

Unicycle SR-IOV Validation IP/VLAN Plan

Details of the IP address plan used in validation can be viewed from the pod specific input file Example Configuration Input File - Unicycle Pods with SR-IOV Dataplane on Dell 740XD Servers and Example Configuration Input File - Unicycle Pods with SR-IOV Dataplane on HP DL380 Gen10 servers.

Unicycle SR-IOV BGP Plan

The unicycle nodes automatically peer with an external fabric BGP speaker using eBGP. The calico nodes do not peer using an internal iBGP mesh.

Details of the BGP plan used in validation can be viewed from the 'ksn' network section in the pod specific input file Example Configuration Input File - Unicycle Pods with SR-IOV Dataplane on Dell 740XD Servers and Example Configuration Input File - Unicycle Pods with SR-IOV Dataplane on HP DL380 Gen10 servers.

Unicycle SR-IOV LAG Details

LAG details used in validation can can be viewed in the pod specific input file Example Configuration Input File - Unicycle Pods with SR-IOV Dataplane on Dell 740XD Servers and Example Configuration Input File - Unicycle Pods with SR-IOV Dataplane on HP DL380 Gen10 servers.
