      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am having some trouble setting up network load balancing in VMware - I am not quite sure which load balancing mode I should use.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have an ESXi 5.5-host hooked up to an HP Procurve Switch which I have configured for 2 VLANs (40,41).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On the switch I created 2 trunks (Trk10, Trk20) which I tagged in both VLANs:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;trunk 23,47 Trk10 Trunk&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;trunk 24,48 Trk20 Trunk&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;vlan 40&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; name "Proces"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; untagged 1-22&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; tagged 50,Trk10,Trk20&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; no ip address&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; exit&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;vlan 41&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; name "PLC"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; untagged 25-46&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; tagged Trk10,Trk20&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; no ip address&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; exit&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Port 23 and 47 is going to ESXi-host1 and port 24,48 are going to ESXi-host2.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;VLAN 40 is ment to have network 192.168.40.0/24.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;VLAN 41 is ment to have network 192.168.41.0/24.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I created a virtual switch which has the 2 NICs in it, but how should the load balancing mode be set?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The virtual machine is slow on the internet right now and i suspect the packages going to the wrong VLAN.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(Right now the load balancing mode is set to "Route based on the originating virtual port ID").&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regards,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Soren&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Let me know if you need more info.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You would need "Route based on IP hash" on your ESXi vSwitch and portgroups as the HP config. aggregates multiple links..(HP trunk)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Are there any specific needs for these trunks? If not I would ditch them on the HP side and go with the standard "Route based on the originating virtual port ID" unless this is a Distributed vSwitch.. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/Rubeck &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi again&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am not quite sure on why they were made in the first place, since it is a preconfigured switch I am working on.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I guess it was made for redundancy if one of the ports would malfunction.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am not quite sure on what you mean - should i just have a cable in each VLAN (untagged), and then create 2 virtual switches instead?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
