After a recent installation using a flat switch, a consultant notices issues migrating the Nutanix...

The proper network configuration to solve the described issue involves using tagged VLANs for the CVM (Controller Virtual Machine) and host, allowing these components to correctly interact with the customer's VLAN-configured network. For the IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface), which is used for out-of-band management and does not require connectivity to multiple VLANs, setting it to access mode is appropriate. This configuration ensures that the IPMI only communicates over a single, untagged VLAN, effectively isolating its traffic from the production network.
