vmk0 management vmkernel also carrying vsphere replication outgoing but not nfc

1  We have a small setup and would like to use the vmk0 management vmkernel for vsphere replication outgoing traffic too...ie vsphere replciation is also ticked as a service on same vmkernel port

Will this work for a small POC setup ...as we cannot dedicate another vlan ie vmkernel ipaddress just for vsphere replication

 

Appreciate inputs..thanks in advance!

If this is just a PoC then keep it simple and run everything through the management vmkernel.

Yes, that'll work, just be aware that it won't scale well.

Thanks

yes its not for scaling it is for a small POC

Can we also have the same vmkernel vmk0 ipaddress servicing  management, replication and also replicaiton NFC in esx 6.5 ..the third sevice NFC i was planning to add for incoming replicaiton

So it should work just that  not a great design for scalability

Thanks !

OK thanks but just confirming i would be ticking the same vmkernel vmk0 for all the three traffic  ie all there selected on vmk0 and they will use the same IP address
