A customer needs a 20-node cluster built. The consultant only has a 16-port flat network switch, and the customer is using VLAN tagging for the hosts and CVMs.
Given the constraint of a 16-port switch for a 20-node cluster, the consultant cannot physically connect all nodes to the network simultaneously. VLAN tagging allows multiple virtual networks to be carried over the same physical network. However, the challenge here is not about VLANs but the physical limitation of ports. The practical approach would be to manually create the cluster, potentially in stages, as the full network capacity required for all nodes is not available.References:
