VPC and user-defined VLAN

BMSs and ECSs in the same VPC can communicate with each other. User-defined VLANs enable high-speed communication between BMSs.

User-defined VLANs use QinQ to isolate user networks and provide additional physical planes and network bandwidth. You can allocate VLANs to isolate traffic for scenarios involving SAP HANA and VMware.

Commercial use
