VLAN Ip

Hello,

I am having problem in configuring VMware network following is the information,

The VMware Server resides in the Server VLAN area, VLAN 3 (192.168.2.0), this is connected to the core switch, that connects the users to another VLAN, VLAN 2 (172.30.100.x). The Virtual Images have an IP address of the server VLAN, which is not acceptable, how do we configure the above so that the Virtual Images have an IP Address of the User VLAN and not the Server VLAN?

Your quick response would be most appreciated.

Best Regards,

Asif

It sounds like you need to enable VLAN's to your vSwitch. To do this you need to configure any port connected to the ESX servers as a trunk. This configuration will need to be done on your switch and will allow the switch to send VLAN tags to the ESX ports. Next you will need to create port groups on each switch that identify the VLAN ID. Once the port groups are defined you can add vNIC's to the port group to give you access to the correct VLAN.

Thought I would add VMware's VLAN doc if that helps.
