vCMP host and guest traffic flow overview

We have a two i5800 boxes which in-turn has vCMP guest respectively,

Since we dont manually tag the interface to the VLANs in the vCMP guest how would the HA and other traffic flow from one guest to another guest on different vCMP host?

    Hi,

     

    vguest communicates with vhost via backplane.

     

    Actual L2 communication is happening between the physical hosts which pass traffic to their guests.

     

    Thanks,
