Hello,
We have 8 VMware 5.5 hosts which sit on Dell hardware and 8 Dell Equallogic SANs and all connnect into various VLANs on our Cisco 3750Gs. We are having our LAN upgraded as it is 14 years old and the Cisco 3750Gs (Layer 3) are being replaced too with the new Cisco 2960x switches (layer 2). I was a bit concerned we we going from layer 3 to layer 2, but it seems all the gateway traffic of our VMs is our Core switches and not the 3750G switches and our iSCSI trafic that sits on vmkernel ports are also not using any gatway from teh 3750Gs, likewise for the Dell Equallogics.
Is there anywhere else I should checking to make sure we don't need layer 3 switches for our VMware/SANS and we can reply on the routing to be done on our core switches which trunk/etherchannel off these 2960x switches (20GB trunks)?
Thanks
