Thanks for your reply. The system and network guys have moved out. My boss asked me to look into the system. Based on the servers I'm having (M1000e / M630 / Catalyst / Nexus), have you or others seen what I'm seeing on CDP information? Hope someone here has noticed the same.

Dear forum users, Need your guys. We installed vSphere ESXi 6.7 on Dell M1000e chassis with M630 blade and Forece10 MXL internal switch module. A few of the network cables from Force10 MXL were connected to the Cisco Catalyst and Nexus switches. The whole setup and network configuration including cabling was done by another vendor (retired). What i noticed when i click one of the blades vmnic, under Cisco Discovery Protocol information, it randomly shows Cisco catalyst info and after a few clicks on the same vmnic, it shows Nexus information. I'm not familiar with Dell M1000e hardware, components and configuration. Why the same vmnic (i.e. vmnic0 or vmnic1) randomly shows both switches? I'm sure you experienced and knows why i'm seeing the above.

Hi a_p,   Thanks for reply. vMotivon vswitch in preparation if the organisation procure vCenter. Based on reading standard vswitch does not support physical switch configuration like LACP / port-channel. Am i correct, with std vswitch, the only option i have is to setup NIC teaming set as Active/Standby and on the physical switch no port-channel at all?

Hi All,   I have 1 ESXi 7.0.3 (vSphere standard) host without vCenter and 8 network adapters. Planned to create 3 standard switches (vswitch0 for mgmt, vswitch1 for vmotion and vswitch2 for VMs). Each of the virtual switches policy as "Route based on the originating virtual switch port ID" and will have 2 uplinks with NIC teaming as active/active and connect to my Cisco catalyst 9300.   Questions: 1. Will this setup be possible? 2. Do i need a port-channel on my switch side to have both network adapter as active? 3. What are the command i should type in Cisco? 4. If active/active network adapters are not possible due to standard switch, then what is best configuration for my environment? and the Cisco command? Any other advice are welcome.
