Configuring the Network Ports

Hi all

In the inventory menu-> networking in my vSphere client 4 I see that someone has set up several 'networks '.

How to understand which physical ports, they are assigned to, or understand how to route traffic.  I know if I have a DMZ network and a NETWORK card out of the demilitarized zone, how to make a virtual machine use this port?

Thank you

Networking is via the use of virtual switches. The physical network are assigned to the virtual switch and the law as "uplink ports. There are three types of virtual switches:

  1. Internal only Virtual Switch - this provides networking remains completely inside you ESX host
  2. Virtual switch with the one uplink port - provides not only the networking between the ports conencted to the switch but provides also for the traffic to a physical network
  3. Virtual switch with 2 or more ports uplink - provides not only the networking between the ports conencted to the switch and provides for traffic to a physical network, but also allows for the grouping of NETWORK cards

All the networks for your ESX host going thorugh virtual switch management traffic and the vm. There are two types of ports that are connected to the virtual switch:

  1. VMkernel Port - used for your ESXi including vmotion and iSCSI host management traffic. In an ESX host, it is also called the Service Console Port. This port wiill assign its own IP to uniique
  2. Group of ports in Virtual Machine - your virtual machines will connect to the virtual machine port group - it does not get an IP address as the IP {address iss asasociated with the virtual amchine

When you look at your network in the client VI the right side will be the uplink ports - the physical posrts in your ESX host. The left side will be the or groups connected to the virtual switch ports

  • Configure the network management grayed out in DCUI

    Configure the network management grayed out in DCUI and some other options are grayed out and network management IP is 0.0.0.0

    Seems that you have not any management VMkernel port or they may have been removed. You may need to check the same.

    Run esxcli list of network ip interface to check if there is no VMKernels.

    It does not generate re no output if NO vmkernel port is available.

    If no. VMkernel ports then follow the below to re-create the management VMkernel port group.

    esxcli network ip interface add-i = vmk0 Pei = "network management - M = 'MAC address' ' to create a VMKernel for management." Make sure the right to MAC address of the uplink is mentioned.

    And make sure that it is a unique vmk, does not correspond to a vmk existing (vmk0, vmk1, vmk2).

    Once the Port is created, you should be able to configure networking on the DCUI

    Do you mean you want to see traps SNMP generated by your device network at HQ? To do this, you need to configure one of the agent HQ to receive traps and configure the network device to send the trap to the agent. Once this operation is complete, you should be able to add the device network platform (you must use the agent HQ for the monitoring network device connection).

    The printer installed fine and don't have USB connection

    All the software and scanning twain installed, so I was able to scan the copy etc.

    selected as a network printer and then, during the installation, I get an error hardware error USB and USB drivers

    All the USB works, that I've used - BUT the printer is networked and no USB used

    Thanks for any help / advice

    Hi etaf,.

    I guess the short answer is: Yes, the problem with the software and the 3.0 Port.

    The long answer with a possible work around is as follows: first of all, the software looks for minimum requirements. Because the software is older, he doesn't know what a 3.0 port. You are right when you say that it should work since you do not use the USB and use wireless instead, but this is not the case.

    There is something we can try, but I can't guarantee it will work. I thought first we could connect a USB cable and run the software made to force the software to see the USB port, but then the software wouldn't even get far enough because you can't plug the cable to the most later in the installation.

    My second thought and most promising suggestion is to connect the USB cable (although we do normally not until the software prompts us to) and use the installation wizard HP Print to get the insteaad of software to use the CD or download from the printer driver page. Still, I can't say with certainty that it works, but I don't see why it would not be worth a try.

    If it works, and we get the software installed you can convert the USB connection to a wireless connection using the software. Fingers crossed! Download and run the with the following link. Printer HP install wizard for Windows

    If this does not work, or you don't want to bother with it (not worth trying), I might consider getting a new model of the printer. You can even call HP. They might be able to offer a discount on a newer model. If you are in the Canada, U.S. dial 800-474-6836 or you can Contact HP worldwide.

    Old but good, networking tips from MVP Malke, MS:

    The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

    The router configuration

    Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

    1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

    2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

    3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

    4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

    To configure the router:

     

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

    B. file/printer sharing of

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

    Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

    I'm not sure if you are asking how to set up a secure wireless network, if you ask how to share files between your two computers (and there is no "customer" or "server" in a working group, in a field - which is not), or both.

    So I will give you information on doing both.

    Router - configure manually

    Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions.

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). Most computers purchased during the last 4 years have the wireless hardware that will support WPA2-Personal (also known as WPA2-PSK). This is the desired encryption level. If your wireless hardware is older, use WPA. Don't use WEP, because who is easily broken within minutes. So go ahead and set the Security Mode WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. For example, you could use the password ' here be dragons, beware you scurvy dogs! The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    I'm not new to virtualization, but miss me something with vmware workstation (sitting on a XP machine)

    I have 3 virtual machine on the subnet 172.16.0.0

    172.16.0.98 - gw: 172.16.0.99

    172.16.0.200 - gw: 172.16.0.99

    My physical network is on a different subnet and can not be changed (physical subnet 10.0.0.0)

    Physical IP: 10.0.0.122 - gw: 10.0.0.1

    Question is how can I configure vmware network to connect to the internet and route essentially my virtual network with my physics?

    I tried to configure routing in XP (the registry key activation) assign the IP of the gateway to a network only virtual (vmnet8) HOST 172.16.0.99 and everything set up such a GUEST network only.

    I have always not internet ping for example.

    Because I already tried, but I don't know what IP address I have to ask the virtual interface (vmnet8). So my question is, in a NAT environment with vmware, how the NAT IPs'ed connect with the physical intf?

    What should I do to make this happen?

    Ta

    BTW: I'm not presumptuous, I knew that someone could throw a light for me ;-) Laughing out loud

    The IP address of a virtual machine using shlou VMnet8 of course adapt to the VMnet8 IP subnet address. By default, which is a 192.168.0.0 a. You must change this subnet address and then you can use DHCP for your guests. The default gateway and DNS address must be the host VMnet8 virtual NIC IP + 1 address. It's almost always x.x.x.2.

  • Advice on how best to configure the network adapters and virtual switch in ESX host

    I'm new to VMware and am its implementation.  I got my training a few weeks ago, and now I'm configing my hosts.  I have 3 guests, each have 2 network cards.  There is a virtual switch that ESX creates when it is installed (vSwtich0).  The books said that it is advisable to delete the VM network port of virtual machine that is assigned to the value group default virtual switch and put it on another virtual switch so that you keep your management network separated from the network of the vm for performance and security.  If I do this, all my virtual machines will have to go to 1 NIC b/c I only have 2 NICs per host.  I thought that I have just to keep all my groups of ports on the default vSwitch0 and add my second NETWORK adapter so that I can take advantage of the Association of NICs for redundancy and load balancing.  However, I'm not sure on the performance and the security risks.  Do you have any ideas or advice?  I could also create two virtual switches and put my virtual machines on one which would have a NETWORK card dedicated and put my service and Kernal VM console on another virtual switch with a dedicated network card.  However, in this scenario, I have no fault tolerance or load balancing.  We are a small shop and we have about 10-15 VMs on each host.  I don't have access to b/c distributed switching we paid only for the company (not more).  Thank you.

    Hi and welcome to the forums,

    With 10-15 VMs per box and I guess that I would seriously consider adding two extra cards for each host in the production machines. You could then do something like:

    vSwitch0 - vmnic0, vmnic2, vmnic3 - Console of Service, VM LAN network

    vSwitch1 - vmnic1 - VMkernel

    That would give you redundancy and performance to access your hosts (SC) and also for all your virtual machines. The VMkernel would get a NETWORK card dedicated for vMotion and could be on a separate network. He didn't need redundancy really as if the NIC sank the only issue is that you cannot vmotion virtual machines. In this case you would just move one of the NIC workgroup through to those switches manually.

    If you only have 2 network cards, then I would say having a vSwitch with two attached network adapters and VLAN the VMkernel may be off. I want absolutely to the redundancy of having two cards together.

    Hope this helps,

  • Configure the network adapter speed / bandwidth management

    Hi all

    In VMware ESX 4, it is possible to configure the speed of vmnic with a speed of diferent? I can do 10, 100, 1000 or full / half-duplex (photos attached) but... is possible to configure the speed of 4 MB, 40 MB or something different?

    For bandwidth management, the best solution is the new Cisco device?

    Thank you very much.

    N ° negotiated between the physical NETWORK adapter and the physical switchport speed can be 10/100/1000. Just like in the physical world...

    But you can do some of the traffic shaping based on your configuration... On a vSwitch standard you can control the evacuation traffic. On a distributed vSwitch, you control evacuation AND penetration.
