GLS provides highly reliable network communications for guest OSes. The following table shows the compatibility between redundant line switching methods and guest OSes.
Note that it is not possible to install GLS on the VMware host.
Guest OS | |
|---|---|
Fast switching mode | Y |
NIC switching mode | Y |
Virtual NIC mode | Y |
GS linkage mode | Y |
Y: Supported N: Not supported
Note
When using the virtual NIC mode, specify the MAC address to the virtual interface configuration file by using SHAMACADDR. For details, see "3.3.3 Virtual NIC mode."
When using the virtual NIC mode on a VMware guest OS, a tagged VLAN interface is not usable. For a tagged VLAN connection, set the VLAN ID for a port group of VMware.
When bundling the interface that was created by SR-IOV, use the NIC switching mode.
