The steps to create an overlay network are simple, but there are a few tasks you need to validate are complete before you begin.
Note: To create overlay
networks, you must have system administrator privileges in the Conductor.
- HIPswitches are connected to the Conductor, and HIPswitch groups are created, if desired. See Set up physical HIPswitches for more information.
- Devices are connected to HIPswitches and device groups created, if desired. See Connect and Configure Devices for more information.
- Determine whether you want to enable VLAN tagged traffic on the overlay network. See Allow VLAN tagged traffic in your overlay network for more information.
- Determine the users and administrative roles needed to manage the overlay network. See Edit members of an overlay network for more information.
