Fencing Options
You can deploy fenced configurations in three ways:
Allow Traffic In and Out – Virtual machines can communicate with machines
outside the fence and machines outside the fence can communicate with virtual
machines in the fenced configuration. See Figure C‐2.
Figure C-2. Allow Traffic In and Out Fencing Mode
VM1
Allow Traffic Out – Virtual machines in a fenced configuration can initiate
communication to machines outside the fence and can receive messages back on
the same connection. Machines outside the fence cannot initiate communication to
virtual machines in the fenced configuration.
This option is useful when virtual machines need to obtain data or execute code
outside the fence (as seen with Web services or databases) but do not want to
receive messages that may disrupt testing. See Figure C‐3.
