In Huawei FusionCompute, if the server has a small number of physical NICs, is it true that you can consider merging multiple planes using a VLAN to logically isolate each plane?

The assertion is true because using VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) allows network administrators to segment and isolate different types of traffic over the same physical infrastructure. In the context of Huawei FusionCompute, when a server has a limited number of physical Network Interface Cards (NICs), merging multiple planes—like management, storage, and VM traffic—can be effectively accomplished through VLAN tagging.

By assigning different VLAN IDs to the various types of traffic, you can logically separate and isolate these planes within the same physical connection. This segmentation maintains security and enhances performance by preventing different types of data from interfering with each other, while also optimizing the usage of the server's physical resources.

This capability is especially beneficial in virtualized environments where infrastructure resources must be utilized efficiently despite hardware limitations. Proper configuration of VLANs can ensure that the system remains organized and manageable, even when physical connections are scarce.
