Best practices for 1000v CTRL/PKT/MGT VLANs

[dseaman619]

We are getting ready to start testing the 1000v in a lab environment, but have a question about VLAN best practices. In the current Cisco 1000v guides it indicates the control/packet/management interfaces should all be on the same VLAN. But elsewhere I've seen references to each network type getting its own VLAN. Given the latest release of the 1000v VSM/VEM, what is the real world best pracices for these three interfaces? Would you typically put all three on the same management VLAN used for physical switches?

You can safely put them on the same vlan. The call to put them on different vlans was in the initial 1.1 release. We changed that view with the 1.2 release and fully support and recommend putting them all on the same vlan. The only requirement now is that we need no more than 100ms latency on the control network.
