PLEASE help, I am a newbie to vm and need help fast...
I have a firewall well configured and configuring 1 ESXi 5.5 server for testing only at home...
My firewall has 2 ports for internal LAN and one connected to my ISP
on the internal ports I have
Port 1 LAN local ip scheme with DHCP server running on the firewall
Port 2 is DMZ I have 4 static ip to use for remote, mail, web server
on ESX server I have 2 nics 1 plugged into DMZ port and 1 into LAN firewalled port
what is hte easiest way to separate these 2 and get them working
example internal vms should not ahve access to DMZ and will only have LAN nic added to teh vm
but webservers and mail server should have both nics connected and each nic gets the appropriate IP address entered based on which nic and network it uses
Can I use 1 vm switch and 1 vm network? or 1 vm switch and create 2 networks? how do I configure nics and vmnetworks to communicate properly?
Since you have two separate nics, one internal and one dmz, you'll need two vSwitches. Each with one nic. The first will have your internal network and management, the other for the Dmz.
Then, you'll need to create the proper portgroups.

OK did that... now it works fine.... thanks!

Glad you got it working.
