Internal VLAN Design for ESX 5.5

[ongoky]

Dear all ,

I would like to ask will this environment to be totally isolated.

I am planning to perform a P2V project . The scenario happen as below:

2 ESX 5.5 , 1 Vcenter and several production VM running in both ESX 5.5 .

ESX1

Production VM - 10 VMs

ESX2

Production VM - 5 VMs

VM WS2012 R2 RDP Session - 2 NIC -

NIC1 - One allows Production RDP

NIC2 - Internal Network with No Binding

P2V VM - 2 NIC ( For Testing before GO LIVE)

NIC1 - Production IP ( No Virtual Network Profile Attach)

NIC2 - Internal Network ( to allows RDP VM with internal Network Access)

If i setup the environment like this , by anychance the VM2 will able to access my RDP VM and corrupt my production network ?

Hi and welcome

I'm trying to understand:

host-1 with virtual standard switch connected to production network and a portgroup for this purpose

host-2 with vss connected to internal network and a portgroup for this purpose

In this scenario, internal traffic is allowed only when VM is placed in host2 and connected to the relative portgroup

Hi ,

THanks for your reply.

What i need to do is actually to setup a ISOLATES environment for my finance and others department user to remote desktop into P2Ved VM for testing.

I do not watn to open my Vcenter access for them to interrupted the rest of VMs.

That why i want to setup a ESX host taht ablet to host both production and test VMs.

the VM(RDP) server can be inside same host , as long as those P2Ved VM wont interrupt to my production Server , as their production Vnic is P2Ved together even without any Vswitch attach to it
