Director of the laboratory - routing and VLAN

Hey,.

So we are currently setting up Lab Manager in our environment, the environment in which we are setting up is a replica of our production environment. In the LABORATORY, we use 13 VIRTUAL networks.

I use Vyatta to route between the VLANS right now, but we are running into a problem now, 13 VLAN... 3 more that it has configurable s NIC on a virtual machine.

Aside from trying to convince everyone that we don't need of 13 VIRTUAL networks in a lab environment, are there other possible solutions or have you guys seen or been around something like this configuration before?

(I've been throwing around the idea of setting up two VM running Vyatta and creation of a separate network who share the two interfaces on one VLAN from the 14th and then distribute the network load between two virtual machines but it's even more work that manually configure an instance of Vyatta in LM whenever someone wants a new workspace to test.)

What do you think guys?

I would say that you need to trim more work for yourself in the long term.   If you want a "real" picture of your lab and prod, you can see either plan b of your presentation above and buy physical passes capable of vlan trunking. Not much, we can hope for until Vmware gets beyond the limit of 10 - nic that seems more promising with all support for 10gbe cards now.  Some department stores I've seen can pull off a true mirror of their production environment as they can in their laboratory.  With virtualization, it makes it much easier to achieve.  I hope one day, we can be their one day ;-).

See you soon,.

  • Director of the laboratory - cannot export to ESXi host (SMBMount unsupported)

    Hi all

    I had this problem since the liberation.  This is my environment:

    Director of the laboratory of 4.0.1

    vCenter 4.0 Update 1

    ESXi (3 guests) 4.0 Update 1

    Shared storage: EMC SAN with NAS volume on gigabit ethernet.

    I opted to use on ESX ESXi VMWare's future, as far as development.

    My problem is this: when I click to export a configuration of Lab Manager, it fails with "Error in export."  The details of the message are:

    * Error export the Configuration.

    vCenter Lab Manager cannot find that any suitable host connected to the "NFS Datastore" data store for this operation.

    Host 'ESXi1' is an ESXi host and does not support smbmount.*

    I installed ESXi being under the impression he was supposed to have all the same functionality as ESX.  Now, I have myself screwed... my users will sometimes have to export configurations to test booting the VMS of USB dongles (as there is no USB transfer directly to a virtual computer that it's time to start).  If at least 3 times a week I have to export virtual machines, one by one, to a network share, which is quite tedious and quite annoying.

    Is on the timeline of development?  I noticed that the 4.0.2 has been released, but by its requirements (http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager402.html#newfeatures) it does not support ESXi 4.x, which is strange because the requirements for Lab Manager 4.0.1 (http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager40.html) list ESXi 4.0 as a host in charge.

    Can someone please shed some light on this issue and maybe get it on the development plan for the next version of Lab Manager?

    Thank you!

    stemplar,

    We don't do generally no update notes version after a product has been released.

    In addition, it is not specific to Lab Manager, ESXi does not support required... orders so Lab Manager is just stating the restriction of resource pools provided.  As far as I remember, ESXi did not support smbmount (or mount-t smbfs) since its inception.

  • Ink advantage 2545: changed the name of the wireless router and now ink advantage 2545 does not connect and I'm out of ideas

    I have a Toshiba laptop 64 bit running Windows 10 Home, 8 GB, 1 t hard drive.

    Router is a Samsung phone using Android because it was the only router that I could find which would take the wireless signal.

    I live very pastoral, no neighbours for miles, so I never saw the need for a password on my router.

    Now, some people are installs in less than 400 feet from me, and I think they're piggybacking on my Wifi because my access speed has slowed considerably since they moved in.

    So I decided to change the password of the router, unfortunately, I can not put in any password I want.  It gives me the opportunity to have a predefined password.  So I changed the name of the router I could do without problem.

    My computer very quickly without any problem, however, my printer which worked great for a year with the old router name does not connect on the new name of the router.

    Here is what I tried:

    I had hoped he would ask me for a new name / password, but it did not.

    Then I plugged a cable between the printer and the laptop in the hopes that it would produce a different kind of results.  It has not changed anything.  There is no screen menu on what that be like this on the printer.

    I pressed the wireless button that has the flashing blue light and nothing happened.

    I pressed the button, don't know what it is, but it has a white light, and nothing happened.

    I went on the HP site and followed the instructions but he just said do not connect the cable until told to do so.  So I disconnected everything, lights out and turned back on and still no connection and no invite to plug whatever it is.

    Y at - it everywhere where I have being a novice could get instructions on how to get this working?

    I appreciate any help you can give me.  Thank you.

    Hello

    I think you are talking about SSID. Please, think of it as a new router and use the following ways to correct:

  • Strategy of the ISE, DACL and VLAN change together

    So I had a hard time finding consistency in a policy that changes the VLAN and applies to a DACL. Originally, I discovered that the remarks were causing to ruin. But I can't find any consistency. Can I use vanilla ' oermit all ' DACL to ISE, as well as a change VLAN and it just doesn't work. My AuthZ is very simple... If you are wired_MAB and your point of endpoints in a particular group, then apply a policy that changes the VLAN and applies to a DACL. This seems like it was originally what ISE is supposed to do, but it seems so buggy. Strange thing is that if I change VLAN by itself, it works. But when I add to the DACL does not work either. Anyone have any ideas why this is?

    Your main problem, will probably be with assignment of DACL, which requires the switch to know the ip address of the client, before any list DACL will apply, at least in host multi-auth mode, I know a "bug", where analysis of device does not work yet once you change your local network virtual access initial port to another virtual LAN and try to apply a DACL using the validation of the MAB When this fails, try to check your schedule of ip device, and see if you hit the same "bug" is I've touched before. You should see this device analysis think that your device still has the original investigation period vlan or none at all. Remember that DHCP Snooping is also used to fill the device-tracking table, so make sure you use it also. Other than that, you could try mode closed, but that if them run could not be suitable for your environment.

  • Director of the laboratory on ESXi

    Hi all

    I working on my Masters trying to facilitate virtual laboratories. I configured from now an esxi 4.0 to run host machines and am able to connect to computers. I read on a post that esxi is not supported in vmlabmanger. However, the user's guide says that it could be used as a host.

    Now, I wonder if I can go ahead and use labmanager for the deployment of the laboratories.

    Could you please guide me with the installation requirements and procedure for vmlabmanager running on windows server 2003 and connect to ESXi host

    Thank you

    I know that the new Lab Manager 4 supports (i) ESX 3.5 and 4.0, as noted in the release notes: http://www.vmware.com/support/labmanager40/doc/releasenotes_labmanager40.html ... I don't know about older versions

  • Deployment of ISE in network routing and Vlan

    Hello world

    New bee to ISE. I want to help/suggestions on how to deploy ise in my network or comment if my plan is working

    Machines to ISE, Servers (ALL) and Corporate (Dot1x and field) in vlan 10

    Comments should be in the vlan separate 20

    By default that all switch ports must be in the vlan 30 having nothing but only to DHCP.

    Each endpoint must come through vlan30 and then pushed to vlan respective IE 10 if corp (Dot1x) PC and comments vlan 20 if mab and do not appear in the endpoints.

    What is a successful deployment?

    Secondly the fact inter - vlan routing is required in this scenario for the endpoints to be controlled properly.

    ISE are able to communicate and of endpoints that are not in the VLAN of the police.

    Hello

    Deployment of the ISE requires a lot of consideration in many aspects. Suggest you read the cisco documentation carefully to become familiar.

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/TD/docs/solutions/enterprise/security/T...

    Node ISE Cisco plays many roles; Admin, monitor & Service policy. The crux of the political service (PSN) is one who plays the role of RADIUS (RADIUS of tip to be precise) server to handle requests from the AAA.

    For authentication dot1x internal hosts, you can have a PSN ISE in-house LAN (VLAN even as servers) or users. Whereas, for wireless clients, you can use a dedicated NHP or share the PSN according to safety requirements.

  • ASUS Infinity wifi connects to the WRT54G Router and network, but not the internet

    I have a WRT54G work throughout our House. It has 4 ports for wired ethernet and multiple wireless connections works without any problem. Currently my Droid phone, Tablet iPad and 2 laptops to connect and move to the internet via a wireless connection.

    Today, I bought a new Asus TF700T Infinity tablet.  I can so he can connect to the router, see the network and the router can see the Tablet Infinity (assigns an IP address), but no internet access.

    I need some ideas here, or suggestions as to what tools I can use to see where the traffic of the Tablet is blocked.  The newspaper on the router shows me nothing. I guess there is a port blocked by the router, but no idea those who.

    Tried reset hard and a firmware upgrade does not.  In fact the latest firmware upgrade (4.21.5) watered the entire network, so I started 4.21.1

    Maybe it's not a router issue maybe that's the problem with the Tablet? Can ping you the ip address assigned to the ipad? You can also try t o assign a static settings on your tablet. If these things still do not work, you may need to contact asus support.

  • Director of the laboratory by using too many IPs

    Our lab environment manager has a pool of 200 IP to the choice.  We never have more than 100 machines deployed at once, but I continue to turn IP addresses before we brand reatch the 100.  I know that LM uses 1 internal address and an external but where the rest of the IPs go?  Is it possible to empty?

    The internal IP address is reserved permanently or not this VM is powered.  Clones of a VM just overload this assignment of the intellectual property, so that the internal IP address is actually reserved as long as there is a virtual machine or clones of this virtual machine.

  • Director of the laboratory, adding new network interface

    Hello. I have a certain virtual machines in a workspace of LM and I would like to add another network interface. I have undeplyed the machine and it gives me the ability to add a new interface, however the interface I just added does not appear. How can I add this interface to a virtual machine that has already been added to a workspace?

    Looks like what you're trying to do is simply add a NETWORK adapter to a virtual computer in a configuration. It is fairly common and is detailed beginning on page 49 here http://www.vmware.com/pdf/lm30_users_guide.pdf. Let me know if it helps.

  • Director of the laboratory of vCould Migration

    Finally, we started with a proof of concept in lieu of LM vCD. Still everyone has a few best lessons learned? Networking seems to goo, but has yet to be understood. Plugin remote desktop feels worse.

    -What is a mapping of good organization? For example, for access to the network resources?

    -Is anyone has seen yet, how make an export full of all virtual machines in a paralytic (for example as a backup?)

    Stop the VAPP stops it.  By default it just turns off the virtual machine.  You can change it to a soft stop via the good operating system in the properties of vApp.

    Hot cloning can be done via the user interface, but can be done through the API.  It's the same for the extension of disk space.

    Thanks in advance.

    For the portion of the price, the best if you call the seller serve you on VMware (partner or VMware).

    1 Lab Manager license can only be used in 1 (physical CPU, not the carrots) take of the ESX host. So, if your ESX 4 CPU (say 4 CPUS, total 16 cores), need you 4 license of LM.

    The license does not limit the number of VM.

  • The Switch configuration and Wi - fi router in the same network

    Hi team,

    I have here is the configuration currently as below in the image. To describe the same internet cable is connected to a Cisco switch, which is connected to the PC in LAN (wired). A switch output is connected to the entrance of the wireless router Netgear Nighthawk AC 1900 Smart model of WiFi router # R6900. Wireless devices (laptop) are connected by the router.

    Each device has internet access. However, I am unable to run software LAN or unable to share any file of devices connected to the switch to the connected wireless devices. I can't ping any device the device wireless wired.

    Can anyone suggest what are the settings that I should do or what are the steps I should follow that will make wireless and wired devices in the same network.

    PS Plus early I tried the internet connection to the wireless router and then out of the router to pass, which has solved this problem. But slowing down my internet speed in wired devices. So, is it possible to have all devices in the network even with the current configuration?

    Thanks in advance.
