Hi,

You will have to set the ports on the physical switch as trunks.

Then they can be configured to share the VLANs from the wider network. This could be using VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) or by allowing the VLANs through these trunks and having it VTP Transparent.

Then you will have two physical NICs on that vSwitch and you can Load Balance and have redundancy as the VLANs will be shared over both Smiley Happy

Finally dont forget to add the VLAN ID's from the wider network to each Portgroup. In your case VLAN ID: 100 for Portgroup 0 and VLAN ID: 101 for Portgroup 1.

note: if you are using VLAN 1 in your switching network as your native VLAN, then do not configure the Port Group as VLAN ID 1, leave it blank or 0.

Hope this helps

Steve
