VCSA/vCenter Network Placement Best Practice
Assuming we have the following 2x vSwitches (simplified for example, there are more in actuality):
- vSwitch0 - 10.1.10.1/24 - Management traffic
- vSwitch1 - various 10.1.X.1/24 port groups - VM traffic in different VLANs
Our VCSA sits in the same management network as vSwitch0 (let's say, for example, it's IP is 10.1.10.100/24).
Questions:
- It makes sense to me to have VCSA be in the same network as the Management traffic... correct?
- Is there a best practice or recommendation for which vSwitch to have VCSA on? vSwitch0 or vSwitch1?
To me I think VCSA would work equally well in either vSwitch, but since I'm redesigning things I thought I would see if anyone had opinions. It would be the only VM NOT on a "VM only" vSwitch so kind of sticks out as an exception.
Thanks!
