About Layer 2 Segment Types

One priority group of controller properties to configure pertains to the type of layer 2 network segment you want to implement. For example, for a pure VLAN setup, you would only configure VLAN-related properties and disregard VXLAN properties. The amount of configuration also depends on the number of uplink ports.

The following figure shows a setup of 3 VLANs with their respective VLAN IDs and two uplink ports (net0 and net1).

image:This figure shows multiple uplink ports in a host.

A different setup might use only pure VXLAN, or combine both VLANs and VXLANs in the configuration.
