I have 4 esxi host . There are 4 physical ethernet cards on each esxi and also There are 2 physical switches . one of the ethernet cards for esxi managent. one for vmotion and the other two for virtual machine .
How to configure the 2 physical switch for vm vlan. trunk , access etc ? How to configure it because there will be 2 physical switches. I wonder it
thanks
Making a different VLAN doesn't mean it's a trunk. You have to trunk that new VLAN down one or more switch ports.
This depends on how many VLANs you'll use for VM access. Is it one? Ten? Also, how are your switches configured to operate?
We will use one vlan for management. 5 different vlans will be defined for virtual machine. what is your advice for a physical switch configuration?
Here's one option; all involve two physical switches for redundancy:
Just asking for curiosity. If I connect a virtual machine to the management port and make a different vlan. Then management port will be trunk on physical switch. Right ?
