69 DMA addresses, multiple Scatter Gather elements per Tx frame, jumbo frames (JF), and large receive offload (LRO). ✓ Use network adapters that support NetQueue, if possi- ble. NetQueue significantly boosts performance of 10 Gb adapters in virtualized environments. ✓ Make sure network cards are installed in slots with enough bandwidth to support maximum throughput. ✓ Consider installing multiple physical network adapters between a single virtual switch and the network. This provides passive failover in the event of a hardware fail- ure, and can increase throughput (in some configura- tions) by distributing traffic across the adapters. ✓ Configure the appropriate VLANs and subnets on your physical switches, trunking any VLANs to your hypervi- sor hosts' uplink ports. Verify that you have a secure management network for your hypervisors and other infrastructure management traffic. ✓ Configure your virtual switches to match settings on your physical switches, including MTU Size (Jumbo Frames), and speed. ✓ Finally, connect your hypervisor hosts to the physical network and test end-to-end connectivity Secure Your Environment Securing your IT environment is mandatory, and a virtual- ized environment is no different. In addition to securing the OS and apps running in your virtual servers, you also need to secure the components of your virtual infrastructure. ✓ Make sure you have a working management network with all management interfaces of physical hosts,
