Group of port and the naming convention for vLAN

What is the naming convention better for groups of ports on vSwitches?  This naming convention should match how we name them VLAN on the physical switches and how important is that?

Hi VMinator,

To answer your question, he has not agreed to 'standard' for names of portgroup.  That's all what you're comfortable with the support and what works for you and your organization.  A bit like server names; Some companies are going hardcore with the naming conventions and others their name after the characters in science fiction or world of warcraft bosses

Forensic science more you pack in a naming of the control standard more you have (i.e. for scripts, health check, etc. see below).  Also, if the name itself answers questions on his own and allows you to save a phone call that is priceless.  For example - the guys says unix... "Uh which network to choose for my new virtual machine.  My IP is blah blah blah. "Well, with right portgroup name, this question would have answered itself... and maybe even recorded some interruptions of service in other cases by the simple fact of being clear and effective in the communication of how this virtual device should work: purely expressed through an appropriate naming convention.

Here's another one.  My last concert, we had thousands of virtual machines that had to move data centers and when they landed, they needed to change the IPs and start using 3 vNIC (instead of 1) on each virtual machine.  Each vNIC with a different subnet mask.  All support should be conducted by a team of outsourced with minimum experience of VMware.  The only way to support something like this and be effective is PowerCLI.  With just invited the naming convention only, you can perform various tasks such as query the virtual computer and check its settings of portgroup compared to its actual IP information in the operating system, initiate a ping from .NET to the virtual machine, if there is any questions Act automatically.  Some actions that will have to be performed include, for example, change the portgroup or mask on a set of clients;  Or questioning guests and glean information network (CDP, vSwitch, portgroup of information etc.) and compare observed network vs network expected enumerated in the PG naming convention. etc etc.  The list of actions that you can take are limited only by your creativity.  The naming standards give you effective power both in manual and automatic efforts.

Still, notice of one man, but every site I care and feeding generally ends with a PG standard similar to what I first described above in my previous post.  Don't forget my example naming convention is Basic.  There are many other attributes that you can add (i.e. in vCloud deployments, in addition to the info network, you can choose to identify various features specific to vCloud org-networks, etc.).

TBH just most of the companies have appointed VM-network exchanges (ok not bad) or some random shortname which doesn't help troubleshooting.  They are fairly easy to fix and also change over time, if necessary.  You can easily drag and drop a set of virtual machines (although I don't personally do this way) in the new port group (via the page of networking to CTRL + SHIFT + N) or PowerCLI it (Yes!  way to go).  Of course, always the ping tests before and after the change.  There are a lot of scripts out there (or ask master lucd post in PowerCLI VMTN forums).  If this is net-news, then you are ahead of the game and will have a standard to follow, whatever it is.

Best of luck and have fun!

  • Naming Convention for user performed at the Complutense University of MADRID

    Hi all

    Are there specific rules for the naming convention for the assignment of user name in the University Complutense of MADRID 11 g? Is there a specific type of some special characters that cannot be used by the UCM in username?

    Thank you
    Saurabh Anand

    It is the same for the user name. This is a limitation of the underlying directory server. So your restrictions will be the result of the restrictions in the underlying system (AD or LDAP). in general, stick with single-byte characters and using something like the first initial and the name or rating first.last is fairly reliable

  • Naming Convention for LabVIEW

    Hello

    What naming convention should be followed in LabVIEW? I will use typical CamelCase (MyNewProgram.vi) or underscore (My_New_Program.vi) or with spaces (my new Program.vi)? In most standard LabVIEW programs, I have observed that different is with spaces (my new Program.vi) but most of the text language programmers prefer without convention spaces. What is the best way to name VI or variable in LabVIEW and what is the reason for this?

    I went through the guidelines and a different post, but they mention just not to use a special character. Nowhere I found the naming convention in LabVIEW.

    Kindly Guide.

    Thank you.

    The case of camel hails from the days of DOS when you were allowed only 8 characters for a file name.  Windows allow spaces in file names.  Linux does not work.  Due to the limitation of Linux/Unix, you will often see text language programmers to use the underscore character.  Almost all my code is on Windows, so I use spaces in the names of my files simply because I find it easier to read than the underscore.

  • Difference between groups of ports and VLANS

    Hi guys

    I read ESX Admin guide 2 times till now, but I still don't know what exactly is the difference between groups of ports and VLANS? I understand, but if someone asks me this question I will not be able to respond with confidence.

    Network also label: my understanding is that it's just label No technical significance in configuration?

    Thanks in advance

    One VLAN is one of the many settings that you can configure for a group of ports, you also have the tabs security, Traffic Shaping and consolidation of NETWORK cards.

    Port group name, you associate you a VM port group must be placed systematically on other hosts if you want to migrate or virtual failover from one host to another.

  • Technical question about the naming conventions used in the API

    What does the prefix 'PF_' rest in all the function names in the SDK of EI?  It is not immediately obvious to me and was just curious.  I would like to have an idea of how the naming conventions came when I learn a new code.

    Thank you!

    Interesting question.  PF stands for package of plug-in filter in After Effects.

  • What is the best compatible microSD and the maximum capacity for a Tablet android Iconia 10 One?

    Could someone tell me what is the best compatible microSD and the maximum capacity for a Tablet android Iconia 10 One?

    Two possibilities: perhaps the message is that your actual RAM is low, which means that you are trying to run applications too at the same time. Closing some should help a lot. The other is more likely, and that is the internal memory which is running low. There is a lot that can be done to help that, but it is especially dependent on what is causing the space to fill. If this is a case of too many installed applications (when applications are installed by default, they are going to the internal storage, the SD card is generally used only for data), one or more of the app that fills with things very with log files or personal always data in memory instead of on the DD of the.

    Check first for the last. Make sure that your photos, videos and music are all on the SD card. If you find tham in the internal memory, move them. Make sure you say the applications that use where is the new location.

    Then find the application specific data when it shouldn't be. Many file managers will do for you, you are looking for by flying over or logfiles extra-large. Parameters; Applications; Application Manager (or similar, names depend a bit on OS version) should allow you to look at each application data and cache. Those compensation where appropriate will free up the space.

    Finally, look at the applications that you have downloaded. Are there any that you do not use? If so, uninstall them. Note that the system and preloaded apps in general cannot be uninstalled, but you can often remove updates and then disable them in order to free some space.

    Storage on a device Android always tends toward the back of his head and gets the older unit the problem seems to be. If I were a type of plot I would suggest that Google is encouraged to keep buying us new machines every two years... None.

  • Partitioning hard drive, I want to spend 30/40 GB drive and the remaining space for the creation of other partitions.

    I created a recovery disc for my system that I bought the new laptop.
    It consist of 500 GB HARD drive, now the problem is the C - drive which is my WIN7 Home Basic installed occupies 400 GB of space and the D-drive has only 25 GB.
    My problem is I want to partition the drive C so that the other player must occupy the space according to my condition.
    But here its only gives me half the space to shrink.
    I mean, when I opened diskmgmt to shrink, C this is 200 GB disk space allotted to me.
    Medium I can use this space to create other partitions, but what I want is, I want to spend 30/40 GB C drive and the remaining space for the creation of other partitions.
    Help, please... Thnks...

    That's what we tried to tell you. An OEM installation does not lend itself to change and having to clear guarantees for re-setup means that you must be quite certain that you have other reliable ways to re-setup.

    If you want to dabble with Linux or dual boot, you should buy a complete commercial edition of Windows 7 that will give you more flexibility and accept that for drivers etc, you're on your own...

  • Number of groups of ports and VLANs by vSwitch

    Hi all

    I'm looking for any insight or best practices in what concerns the number of VLANs that are ongoing to shared resources on a vSwitch.  Our ESX servers, there are 6 physical network adapters associated with (using the property intellectual hash).  These cards are the uplinks to the vSwitch which provides the virtual machine networks.   We use VLAN Tagging (VST) and created groups of ports for each Vlan ID.  Until now, we have about 7 groups of ports for 7 different VLAN.     I know the max is 512, but are there aspects to add several groups / VLAN port that I'm missing?  (We use vSphere 4.1)

    Thank you...

    Groups of ports by vCenter limit is 5000, but you do not sound as it reaches.

    Really, for the number, you have (7) you are a pretty small network as much as standard implementations are going, and you'll be fine.

    I don't think it is interesting to look at if you really expect to be using all six ports - it is rare for aggregation in order to get increases in actual performance beyond two, and often 'more' is not better.

    LACP changes things a bit, but it does not apply to many environments.

  • Several groups of ports with the same VLanID

    Ask a question on peoples experience or knowledge, because we had a little chat here at work. If you have several groups with the same VLanID virtual port in the same cluster, does or that will cause a problem?

    Tom - we do that regularly.

    We have large quantities of VLAN - and often will be have 2 VMs hosted on the same Vlan environments for the purposes of the Dev - but when we move to production, we want to be able to isolate the dependent VMs to the configured network - with the same Vlan in use. . with a name different from the ways that we can quickly determine which is which.

    In addition

    I have hhave 1 vSwitch, with 2 natachasery (set up for tolerance of failure... not load balancing). . 2 groups of ports. . even vLan. . but I can get then Port Group1 to Teddy defauilt 1 and Port Group2, or Teddy bear 2 - which means I can isolate traffic e.. except in an emergency.
