Morning All,
I use vCD and within vCD we use third party firewalls (i.e. not NSX Edges). I want to present my Org with a trunk link in an official and supported VMware method.
Now I'm sure this is the article everyone will find:
https://anthonyspiteri.net/quick-post-vlan-trunking-vcloud-director/
While I'm sure this will work, it doesn't seem official.
vCD 9.0 documentation claims trunk links are now supported but I can't find the documention that tells me how to implement it as best practise.
Can anyone find the documention or method of configuration?
Thanks
Hi,
The following whitepaper officially confirm that vCD supports Trunked VLAN baacked Networks.
As mentioned in the screenshot first we've to create a Prortgroup in vCenter with Trunked VLANs. Please follow the steps documented in Anthony's blog which you quoted.
I've tried it in the lab and it worked fine. I could create two External networks in vCD backed with Portgroups which has Trunked VLAN configured.
If you are leveraging external networks for VM's , its a straight forward process - Trunk the portgroup and configure the external VLAN in vCloud and connect the Virtual Machines.
