Network Profile

Hi,

 I am trying to create 3 different network profiles in HCX service Mesh

vMotion

Uplink 

Management 

I have a /24 range, it is not segmented. I haven't created any specific network for vmotion or uplink 

However, can we use the same management network for all these network profiles? However, if I use the same management network, can I  stretch the vMotion network?

Why would you want to stretch the vMotion network?

The Network Profile setup depends entirely on how your hosts are set up. In some setups, Uplink and Management can use the same network. If you HCX vMotion Network is using a different port group than the host vmk is using then ensure to use a static route in the Compute Profile. It is all in the HCX User Guide.
