Working with Virtual Systems

This section presents procedures for creating and configuring Virtual Systems. The Virtual System definition process varies somewhat according to the template selected when creating the VSX Gateway.

A typical Virtual System contains two interfaces:

• External interface leading to external networks, a DMZ, or the Internet
• Internal interface leading to internal networks or servers, often by means of a VLAN trunk

VSX supports up to 128 interfaces for each Virtual Device and a total of up to 4096 interfaces per VSX Gateway or cluster. The supported interfaces include VLANs and Warp Links.

Note - By default, a Virtual System supports up to 64 interfaces. For more about how to increase the number of supported interfaces, see sk99121.

You can add as many interfaces to a Virtual System as required, according to system resources.

Here is an example of a typical VSX Gateway deployment with four Virtual Systems, each with two interfaces.
