I have been unable to find the port group settings when running the VSM within a VM addressed in the Cisco docs.. they just say "create 3 port goups". But, the VLAN configuration for those PGs are not clear to me. Within the VSM configuration, you defined the VLAN that each network (Mgmnt, Control, Packet) are on. This implies that the VSM VM will be generating tagged packets, so the port groups should be set as trunk / virtual guest tag. But, if that's the case, why do they recommend 3 port groups? You should be able to use one trunk port group and let the physical switch handle the VLANs. So, are they instead expecting that the VLAN assignment will be done on the Port Groups? The Cisco config docs give lots of info on the Cisco command-line config.. Can some give, or point to, the settings on the VMware port groups when using the VSM from within a VM?
