Abstract
In general, embodiments of the invention relates to a method for controlling network traffic in a chassis. The method includes assigning control of a network express manager located in the chassis to a control virtual machine selected from a number of virtual machines. The method further includes configuring the network express manager, by the control virtual machine, where the network express manager is configured to route network traffic in the chassis. The method further includes implementing a virtual network path using the network express manager, where the virtual network path includes a virtual wire between a first VNIC and a second VNIC, where the first VNIC is located in a first computer and the second VNIC is located in a second computer.
