Anyone using layer 2 vlans in their cluster?
Hi,
This may be a bit esoteric but I was thinking about clusters and cluster growth within a machine room.
It may not be possible to get contiguous rack space for a very large cluster. I was wondering if anyone had built out a large cluster and had to implement a vlan (layer 2 virtual lan) to make the cluster 'look and feel' as if the machines were racked and co-located together?
Thx
-Mike

yes please.
I'm curious as to the impact on overall performance.
I would imagine that layer 2 traffic would take precedence over layer 3 traffic.
Thx

I think we have Mr. Segel. I could dig more with the it guys if you're
interested.
