Re: Purchasing ESXi version 8 and downgrading to 7

Sachchidanand — Wed, 25 Oct 2023 07:42:41 GMT

As your hardware is having two CPU, you required two license as one license covers one cpu with upto 32 cores. Please see below doc as reference:

Re: Have server on management vlan as well as allow hosts to get IP from same vlan?

Sachchidanand — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 04:53:00 GMT

If your vswitch0 has management network tagged as vlan 501, you can use the same for VMs as well and check if you getting ip or not?

Remove the vlan 501 from vswitch0 and use management network, if it's not working then check on vm if it is using dhcp for getting ip along with check on your dhcp server if IPs are available to assign.

Also your physical switch is of Cisco?

Seems something wrong with your configuration. Try adding one more port group to your first switch with vlan 501 and see if it's working

You can not use the same subnet as /28 as well as /29. Use either of the one.

Re: capture network traffic of vm

Sachchidanand — Thu, 12 Oct 2023 05:34:50 GMT

I don't think there is such feature on the VSS, you may mirror the traffic on your physical switch and filter the traffic with respect to your VM.
