Evaluate the NSX with VLAN

Second question about the VLAN:

Is there a reason that would prevent it from doing an assessment of NSX deployment on VLAN?

We have a set C7000 enclosure with 16 blades G6 and 4 Flex-10 switches, which we removed from production. Before deploy us NSX "the right way", we would evaluate NSX on the old blades. I have no problem to create clusters of edge, calculation and Mgmt, but I couldn't do a deployment of best practices of NSX without leaf spine VLAN (unless the boss wants to invest in 4 HP more Flex-10 switches for evaluating!).

My idea: create a VLAN "backbone" and 3 "leaf VLAN," all with MTU 1600 or better and start creating our documentation run-book for the NSX.

THX in advance

Yes, you can do a deployment with VLANS and it will work. You will be able to use Distributed firewall, Distributed routing (some design considerations apply here) and many other features. Of course you need to master them VLAN for the virtual machine to each host if you do not use an overlay.

  • VMware vCloud Director with the NSX Manager installation process.

    Hello world

    I recently planned to deploy VMware vCloud Director (so NSX Manager will be deployed, as part of the process) on an existing environment (existing virtual machines running, virtual switches,...).

    Customers use their virtual machines because they are in production.

    I was wondering if the deployment / installation of NSX Manager would cause no downtime or disturb the workflows running or even break the VM interconnections?

    Thanks in advance,

    Lawrence B.

    I looked at many tutorials, and indeed nothing should happen so that deploy a controller or something else. My concerns were about this "else", as the virtual switches and so on. I guess that the NSX will show existing resources such as the existing virtual switches (and so forth) already configured with vCenter?

    What vCloud Director does is interact with NSX via API.  Calls are exclusive to VXLAN (vdnscope-# resources in the API) and demand to deploy or update an edge.  vCD is not 'show' resources discovered by NSX.  You configure NSX and vCD makes an API call and said ' I want a Board connected to the port groups A and B "or"I want a new vWire of this VXLAN instance.

    Is there a document with the "best practices" for the deployment of vCD?

    Yes: VMware vCloud Architecture Toolkit: Cloud Computing reference Architecture | United States

    The meddle with existing resources, must have dedicated resources for the vCD vendor (aka the cluster in vCenter).  It is better to have that then using a pool of resources to a cluster where neighbour noisy problems can arise.  vCAT above might exceed a lot of that when you read it.

  • vDS now comes with the NSX for vSphere

    Hello

    I found a few kb articles saying that we can use vDS on any edition of vSphere with the NSX.

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/2135310

    • If you are using VMware vSphere 5.5 update 3 or vSphere 6.0.x, NSX VMware vSphere 6.x does not require a license of vSphere Enterprise Plus and can run on any edition of vSphere.

    • Note: vDS is now delivered with NSX to vSphere (NSXv) and VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN) in vSphere 6.0.


    I've implemented the vSphere environment with the standard license and NSX for vSphere with the license of the company.

    But I can't use vDS. If I can create new vDS on vCenter, I can't add hosts with standard license to a vDS.


    I used below products.

  • With the help of VLANS and VLAN Tagging is not working / no connection

    Hello

    I m trying to configure a VLAN between some virtual machines on ESX host 3.

    I want to do this way:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1004074

    I got 1 dedicated NETWORK adapter to each ESX host that is connected to a dvSwitch in which I configured a portgroup

    with VLAN ID 2121. I have configured each virtual machine to use this network.

    When I put the virtual machines on a single host, they are able to communicate.

    When they are placed on different hosts they are (if the VIRTUAL LAN is enabled on portgroup) not able to communicate.

    So I m assuming it must be a problem in the config NIC on the ESX host or switch.

    I m using a HP2910AL on which I activated mode trunk for each port that is connected to a NETWORK card with

    the dvSwitch/Portgroup I try to use for the vlan. In the hp switch, I have a default VLAN with ID 1 where

    the Ports are marked not signposted. I install a second VLAN on the switch with ID 2121 in which I scored

    This tag ports.

    Is there something else to do - perhaps side ESX host?

    I tried changing the settings as "forged transmission-> allow ' on portgroup and I found other things

    in the web, but always without success.

    Kind regards

    Patrick

    Were you referred to this guide? :

    http://CDN.ProCurve.com/training/manuals/2910-ATG-Feb09-2-VLAN.PDF

    "show vlan ports" would be my next check to make sure that you have connected to your ESXi host 3 ports in the vlan 2121.

    As Duncan has said if you have a VLAN ID on the portgroup in the vSwitch and you have the port on the pSwitch as trunk not acess and VLAN ID is allowed on the trunk port pSwitch you should be ok.  Just to clarify the trunk is 802. 1 q No 802.3ad.

    The reverse is not VLAN ID on the portgroup vSwitch, use coelio on pSwitch with VLAN ID.  Limited pSwitch port to a VLAN, this may be ok for you?

  • How to access the management of VLANs with a different virtual LAN (Dell powerconnect 6224)

    Hello

    DELL powerconnect 6224 reference.

    I want to access the management of a different VIRTUAL LAN VLAN.

    The management of VLANS is 100 of VLAN. not the routing

    My computer is vlan 60 (192.168.60.10) and I want to connect via ssh or http (192.168.100.1) to manage my switch.

    Thank you for your help on the command line

    The management of VLANS on the 6224 is not routable. So, you will not be able to access VLAN 100 from any other VLAN. However, you can manage the switch from other VLAN IP addresses. So if VLAN 60 has an IP of 192.168.60.1 you can http and ssh to it. And if the VLAN routing is enabled you have access to 192.168.60.1 on the other VLAN.

    See you soon

  • The WAP4410N 802 VLAN assignment. 1 x dynamic?

    Hello

    The WAP4410N does support assignment VLAN dynamic through authentication 802. 1 x?

    The reason why I approach this point; I am able to configure an SSID on a WAP4410N with WPA2-Enterprise, in combination with the 802 network authentication. 1 x PEAP. I can correctly connect Windows, RT of Windows, Windows Phone, iOS and Android devices. But... I am unable to refer to VLAN another related to strategies of dial-up connection.

    Authenticator: WAP4410N

    Authentication server: Microsoft Server NPS (Network Policy Server)

    I used PEAP 802.1 x (Protected EAP) with authentication by password (domain user). In fact, the suplicants connect with 802. 1 x to the authenticator. The authenticator communicates with the RADIUS authentication server. NAP is not between the two. It's just 802. 1 x authentication.

    Any suggestions or do you know the dynamic assignment of VLAN weather is supported?

    Hi, Boudewijn, AFAIK, DVA is not supported on this unit. The SSID is manually configured with the PVID and it is not an option in the 802. 1 x to set any activation of DVA.

  • Creation of the NSX for IP (iSCSI) storage

    Hi all

    I considered just the implications of VMware NSX on storage over IP (iSCSI) Design.

    If we create three groups: Edge, Mgmt and Compute, each in its own grid:

    • Each cluster/rack is associated with (2) sheet of 10 GB switches
    • There are 2 two 10 GB backbone switches for the installation
    • Each sheet is connected to each switch of the spine (sheet ports 47 to the spinal #1 switch) and leaves 48 to the #2 of the spine switch
    • 10Gb iSCSI without are configured in the cluster of MGMT/rack and connected to the 10 GB sheet past in the cluster/rack of Mgmt.

    Then, how facilitate us the IP storage for ESXi hosts who are not in the same basket as the SAN?

    Suppose we define VLAN 99 for IP storage (by Figure 4 - NSX v2.1 Design Guide) and follow the recommendations 'trunking VLAN on the link between the sheet and the spine is not allowed' (p. 65 - NSX v2.1 Design Guide), then the inescapable conclusion is that the SAN are not available since the Compute cluster/rack or edge.

    How to set an exception that will allow us to the trunk VLAN 99 (no gateway, without calculation, not able rout) of the spine, so IP storage is accessible from all ESXi hosts?

    THX in ADV!

    Here, you will need to use the IP routing for communication inter rack configured at the ESXi host level.

    For example on the grid 1 VMKernel Interface for storage is 10.77.1.10 in Vlan 77.

    switch sheet of TOR, we terminate that VLAN as IVR with IP address of 10.77.1.1

    To Inter Communication IP Rack storage, let's add command to host ESXi on racks 1 hosts next-level:

    esxcli ip network route ipv4 add - n 10.77.0.0/16 g 10.77.1.1

    (Note VMkernel Interface for different media guests will be in different subnets. So in rack 2 VMKernel Interface for storage will be 10.77.2.10)

    (Source Guide design v2.1, page 79-80)

  • Concerns about the workouts with the Apple Watch - request for comments and Suggestions

    I'm a professional skill that has recently upgraded from a Polar to the Apple Watch.  I am delighted to stop wearing the chest strap of the Polar, but even though I love my new watch, I wish for some improvements in the future.  Training categories are too vague.  When you set up a 'training' on my Apple Watch, which is the step class, I was ANOTHER selection to OPEN.  Others who do?  What others recommend?  And I'm trying to decide whether to use Active or Total calories during the recording of my activities in my Fitbit dashboard.  One last thing, I find it odd to be worked hard and look down to see my heart rate displayed as 60, when I know that it takes more than 130.  I would like to hear from other fitness in mind of people about my problems.  Thank you.

    Hello

    When a workout is started, choose the type of activity that best fits the nature of your exercise activity. For any activity other than the named options, select the other (for example, your step class).

    The types of activities in the application of the workout on Apple Watch help the watch to determine what sensors / data sources to use in follow-up and evaluate the results of your activity. For example:

    -To run in the open air, the watch can use the heart rate sensor, accelerometer integrated and GPS of the iPhone paired (if it is available during the race).

    -For inside running (on a treadmill), the watch will be based on the accelerometer to estimate the distance and pace (as GPS data are not relevant).

    -Indoor activities, the watch will be based mainly on the frequency heart readings to estimate of burning calories.

    The other category is therefore useful (from point of view of the watch) by advising that certain types of activities are not undertaken.

    During the follow-up of one exercise using the others, your watch will estimate active calories based on one that is the higher of:

    -L'equivalent of a brisk walk (calories saved on this basis can vary per person, based on their personal information), or;

    -The data recorded by the heart rate sensor.

    When you use the other, activity app will also credit the ring of progress of exercise with one minute for every minute of the workout.

    If you want Apple to consider adding specific types of additional activities for the purpose of the workout, you can suggest that here:

    https://www.Apple.com/feedback/watch.html

    All submissions are read (even if you do not expect to receive a response).

  • VMware Distributed Switch with VLAN

    Hi again,

    A lot of work with VLAN now.

    But just a quick Questions. Is there a documentation or HowTo Guides how to set up vSphare VMware Distributed Switch with several VLANS on a Switch GS724Tv4?

    But soon, I try to add a host or network, it is empty.

    This is probably an easy problem of VMware, but I try here first to see if someone has document guide HowTo so I can start with.

    Thank you

  • Select the problem with expressions

    Hello

    I use Teststand 4.0 and a frustrating problem with the Select Case statements.

    I have attached a sequence that shows the problem.

    A loop from 0 to 10.

    The select case statement should decide which box 3 instructions corresponds to the expression and a message box is displayed.

    However the Basic program reacts as expected.

    First, he made his entry with a value of 0, it goes to the > 7 stated case.

    The second time, he enters the loop with a value of 1, it will correctly to the<3 case="">

    The other values of 2 to 10 enter no case statement.

    Is this a bug in TS 4?, or I do something wrong?

    Thank you

    Mike

    The problem is that you compare the Locals.New_Val of the Locals.New_Val property.< 3". ="" if="" those="" two="" properties="" match,="" then="" it="" will="" execute. ="" if="" you="" wanted="" that="" particular="" case="" to="" execute="" when="" locals.new_val="" is="" 0,="" you="" would="" just="" type="">

    Unfortunately there is no way to have multiple cases of a single block of code.

    In C, you could do it like this:

    Switch (newVal)

    {

    case 0:

    case 1:

    case 2:

    do something

    break;

    case 3:

    case 4:

    case 5:

    case 6:

    case 7:

    do something else

    break;

    etc...

    }

    Even in C, it's awkward, and you would probably do the following instead:

    If (newval<>

    do something

    Else if (newval<>

    do something else

    on the other

    do something else

    The reason why it works in TestStand, is that expressions will try to automatically convert types if she can do it.  false is logically equivalent to 0 and true, it is logically equivalent to 1, so what you are really comparing to in your case statement is your property (Locals.New_Val) to a Boolean expression that evaluates to 0 or 1.  It is certainly not obvious when we look at, but at least, this explains why it happens.  Another way, you could do this is to change "Point to compare" step of the 'True' selection, which will each case in order to compare the expression of the value 'true '.  I still recommend a structure if/else if/else for this kind of problem because it's easier to read, but it is possible to do what you want in this case with a select / box.

  • Problems with VLAN...

    Hello

    I try to get a controller 2106 (latest firmware) and 3 1252 to our network access points. We have 3560 switches to base with a few VIRTUAL networks. I can put it all fine on its own with my laptop on the WAC himself, but connect it to a switch port in our server VLAN does work at all. Its not accessible via ping, telnet, HTTP.

    I have for this kind of work. I created a switchport mode trunk and I ALSO HAD to TAG management/access point interfaces. It's the only way I can telnet/HTTP in to the WAC. BUT I can't do now within this server VLAN. I can't reach our client device, VLAN, or I can reach the WAC to our client VLAN. Even with the trunkport game, if I put the interfaces on the WAC to unlabeled, I can't do anything on the WAC at all! Any ideas what I'm missing?

    Thank you

    Make sure you have all the VLAN defined on the switch. Make sure all connections to the switch are attached to the trunk. Each vlan must also a layer 3 interface. management and the ap-Manager should be on the same vlan and the dot1q trunk port must be defined on vlan native x where X is the vlan, management and ap-Manager ip is on. On the WLC, you must set the tag of vlan '0' unidentified. Who should you get.

    Place the access point on the same subnet as the management and the ap Manager and make sure that there is a for this subnet dhcp scope to the ap can obtain an ip address and be able to join the WLC. Then, you can move the access point to a different subnet if you wish.
