Hello
I created lab with virtual ESXi installed on VM.
Now i want add second vmk adapter with another network.
What i need to do with VM or physical host for that?
Physical ESXi have multiple portgroups with vlan 1,2,3 with different networks and gateways.
I created new portgroup with VLAN 4095 and assign it to VM with ESX.
Settings vESX, vmk0:
vswitch0
vlan 1
mgmt ip 10.10.1.1
gw 10.10.1.254
Add new vmk1:
vswitch0
vlan 2
ip 10.10.2.1
gw 10.10.2.254
But i cant ping vmk1 from outside.
If i add vmk1 on physical ESXi host - everything works fine. Problem when submitting VLANs to a virtual machine.
Answer - need turn on (Accept) "Promiscuous Mode" on new portgroup with VLAN 4095.
If you open on vESX Physical adapters - vmnic0 - Status, then all networks and VLANS available to the physical host will be visible in the list of networks. Which means that all VLANs trunks are served from a physical host to a virtual machine. But I do not understand why the new vmk1 does not work.
Answer - need turn on (Accept) "Promiscuous Mode" on new portgroup with VLAN 4095.
