We have a redundant switching and routing network which I have drawn here in a simplified form. Our VM's will be mostly RHEL. I'm trying to find the best VMWare network configuration that can tolerate the loss of any one switch or router, any one green link, or any one orange link - so that the ESXI and the VM's stay connected.
I'm guessing this has been done before by many but I can't find any best practice or networking guide that describes this configuration. If it's an RTFM issue please point me in the right direction.
We currently run RHEL on real hardware using the bonding module (mode=active-backup, arp_ip_target=x.x.x.x) and it handles all the above cases well.
Thanks!
