The Multi-Tenant LoadMaster creates one Open vSwitch (OVS) per physical/VLAN interface. This is the Virtual Switch software in the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster which allows multiple VLMs to share a common switch fabric. In addition, 10 host local networks are created. The tenant’s vNICs connect either to one of these switches or to one of the host local networks. Each tenant can have up to 10 vNICs named ETH0… 9. The network interfaces can only be configured when the tenant is not running.
