This section will cover the common network design requirements for all edge types followed by detailed reference designs for a single node, 2-node cluster, and 3-node cluster.

In edge deployments, it is important to have a well-designed network to ensure efficient and secure communication at the edge sites and between the edges and the data center. This section provides detailed reference designs for deploying a single node, 2-node cluster, and 3-node cluster. These reference designs cover key areas such as VLAN and layer 2 networking, vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) configuration, IP addressing and routing, and workload cluster management.

By following these reference designs, edge computing architects and administrators can ensure that their deployments are well-architected and follow Enterprise Edge best practices. This can help to reduce the risk of network issues, improve security, and ensure optimal performance for edge workloads.
