Hello,
I am deploying a fortigateVM on an esxi machine. The way the fortiVM is setup is with trunk ports for internal and external ports.
This means I need to assign more than one vlan to each of the VM's nics. How would I be able to assign trunk to the fortiVM port?
Thanks
That is called Virtual Guest Tagging. Basically you will need to make sure that the VLANs present on the physical switch and set the port-group to VLAN id 4095 on a standard vSwitch, or specify the VLAN range on a vDS.
You can read about it here :

Sample configuration of virtual machine VLAN Tagging (VGT Mode) in ESX (1004252)

Hey Roland,
Thanks for your reply.
To have these VLANs pass to the VM untouched, I would have to enter them separately from VLANs which are tagged, right?
So does this mean that I would have to use a dedicated for for this task? for example for internal and external FW ports would have to be separate from other trunk port relaying to other VMs...
Thanks!
