Understanding Virtual System

Virtual System and Administrator

This section describes the concepts of public system, virtual system, and administrator.

Virtual System Resource Allocation

This section describes the virtual system resource allocation mechanism. Limiting the amount of resources of each virtual system prevents a virtual system from preempting too much resources from other virtual systems.

Virtual System Traffic Sorting

This section describes how the FW forwards traffic of different virtual systems.

Communication Between Virtual Systems

The FW supports four types of communication scenarios, namely, communication between a virtual system and the root system, communication between two virtual systems directly, communication between two virtual systems across a root system, and communication between two virtual systems across a shared virtual system. Understanding the basic scenarios helps you better understand the basic mechanisms of virtual system communications and correctly configure them.
