I have a vSphere 5.5 install and I'm in the process of a network upgrade in preparation for a VOIP implementation. The Switch hardware I'm using is a stack of Cisco 3850 Layer 3 switches and I've been going in circles on getting vlan traffic to work correctly. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I have one NIC connected to the switch (10GB fiber) that will handle all traffic for the esxi host (except for management). VLAN ID is set to None (0) and load balancing is set to Route based on originating virtual port.
I have 2 subnets, 10.1.0.0/16 (data & management, VLAN 1) and 10.10.1.0/24 (Voice, VLAN 10)
On the host I have a Win 2012 R2 server that will be a VOIP PBX host. It must be able to communicate with the IP phones (VLAN 10) and other servers (VLAN 1).
The switches will do the intervlan routing.
Finally my question - Can anyone give me some hints on how to set up the interface on the Cisco for the 10GB fiber connection from my host? Actual port settings would be extremely helpful. Anything I'm doing at the vmware end that I should be doing differently?
