• Create groups of ports from excel

  I have a spreadsheet with 60 groups of ports, that I need to create. My fields are VLAN and name. Looking at the cmdlets reference guide , it seems that the command to create one would be Get-VDSwitch-name 'Boston ' | New-VDPortgroup-name 'test SQL VLAN 250″ - VLanId 250. Can someone help with the structure to create it from an excel file? I'm checking the rate maximum config to see if I hit a limit about my ports with vSphere 5.1 and need to set a number of ports per port group. Thank you.

  Try something like this

  $dvSw = Get-VDSwitch -Name "Boston"
  
  Import-Csv dvPortgroups.csv -UseCulture | %{  New-VDPortgroup -Name $_.PgName -VlanId $_.VLanId -NumPorts $_.Ports -VDSwitch $dvSw}
  

  The CSV file is supposed to have 3 columns

  PgName, VLanId, Ports

  PG1, 100, 32

  PG2, 100, 32

  You can check the number of available ports on the dvSwitch first, to see if you can add he's the ports required for exchanges

• Rename groups of ports

  Hello

  In vCenter via web client, I added a vswitch to some host. I have added a group of ports for the new vswitch so that I have two groups of ports on each vswitch who manage some physical cards and renamed the old port 'VM Network' groups while it appears on the web with a unique name client network tab that hostname in it.

  I put the network card of virtual machines to the new port groups.

  The old "VM Network" "VM Network1" and the "VM Network2" still appear in the web client, Network tab, they have even machines in the old network, although I changed to they renamed network. So the machine appears twice, in the new one the old network. I can't get rid of the old network. When I try to migrate virtual machines from the old to the new network, the list is empty.

  

  Also, when I try to clone a machine, I get a warning that the NIC of the virtual computer using a network ("the new network name") that are not accessible. It seems to me, the old network names are still in use. Is there a chance to fix this? I'm afraid to have performance problems.

  The virtual machine have Active snapshots, where shots were created so that virtual machines were still attached to the groups old port? In this case, the ports 'ghost' groups should disappear after deleting snapshots.

• Two groups of ports with same VLAN on the same Vswitch?

  I'm doing a consolidation.  We had two different people put up two closed different of Vsphere and different network labels were used.   Of course the network labels must exactly match vmotion without losing connectivity.    So I was hoping that I could just create groups in double port on my vswitch for VLAN do not match them.  I know I could just migrate them and move quickly from the network label, but some of them are essential and may not fall.

  For example, on a cluster, I might have a port for Vlan ID 88 group that says 'Web DMZ'.  But the other cluster has "WWW" VLan ID 88.    Can I just create a second group of ports on the first group which also used Vlan ID 88 with the name 'WWW' and I started?    Which will cause problems with switching (loops, etc.)?

  Hope it makes sense.  Guess the short answer is can I I have two groups of different ports on a vswitch using the same VLAN ID tag without causing problems?

  Creation of several groups of ports with the same VLAN ID should not cause any problem. This is only marking/close the traffic to and from the virtual machine, is nothing like that of loops,... to be afraid of.

• Migration of the existing groups of port DVS vSwitch

  Hey guys,.

  I am looking for a good article, but so far I don't have if existing port a groups with std vSwitch ESXi can I migrate to a newly created DVS.
  I saw VMs, Assistant network management, but it seems that I have to create all the groups before port.

  Is this really the case? as I have 70 groups of ports and I don't want to do the job manually.

  Any suggestion?

  Thanks in advance

  Evening,

  This process can be script but yes destination port groups must be created first.   I suggest to use the Onyx project to get the commands in powershell to create groups of ports.  Personally, I have 700 groups of ports and I understand your pain.   Onyx will allow you the creation of a port group unique in powershell then all you need to change is the name and vlan id.   If you have the standard naming, you should be ok...

  Let me know if you have any additional questions or I missed your question.

  Thank you

• 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.

• Change policies of port groups specific security on a vSwitch?

  I'm sorry if this has been answered already. I could not find.  I need a script to change the Promiscuous Mode refuse to accept more than 100 groups of ports, and I'm not sure how to proceed by PowerCLI.  If someone could give an example, I would be very grateful.

  Why would you do this for all of your trade?

  As a security best practices let it rejected.

  If you need "Promiscuous" mode, create a new portgroup specially for this purpose.

  If you want to set the type for all exchanges, you better change that on your vSwitch if you overide switch by specifying the security settings of portgroup.

  As far as I know, this can only be done using the SDK. Discover Onyx to help you in this task.

• Moving grouped content from one page to another (javascript - InDesign)

  Can someone show a simple solution on how to move a group selected items include the text and graphics from one page to another page in the same document using javascript for scripting InDesign 5.5. Thank you!

  You cannot determine where the item is placed, it is an operation of both parties. If you want to save & restore the original location, try this:

  ypos = app.selection[0].geometricBounds[0];
  xpos = app.selection[0].geometricBounds[1];
  app.selection[0].move (app.activeDocument.pages[1]);
  app.selection[0].move ( [ xpos, ypos] );
  

  This fails on a spread when you try to move something to a page in the left hand to the right hand one or conversely, as by default, InDesign treats spreads as a single unit of basic, no pages - you move your article to the correct spread, but not on the right page, and it seems on the same half of the spread that he was from. If there is a problem, you can experiment with changing the options of rule (by spreading, by page, etc.) and see if it works for you.

• 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!

• 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.

• 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.

• How to transfer several photos from one folder to another

  I want to delete a number of photos in my folder and then transfer some blocks of them to other folders to better organize. I know how to remove one at a time, but I don't know how to highlight a bunch of them for moving.  They are coming up with numbers, like 079, 080, 081 etc but not on a list where I can highlight.  I also want to do the same with several short videos I have.  By the way, I have transferred all this media from my iphone / ipad and everything came automatically - that is why I need now to separate and organize especially if I want to send copies to parents and friends.

  ==========================================
  You can select multiple by holding your CTRL key while left
  by clicking on the thumbs or file names.

  You can also select groups of photos by selecting one...
  While holding down your shift key and select another further
  fixing the list. All photos between the two selected will be
  chosen too.

  Move photos from one folder to another.

  With the thumbnail selected... type... CTRL + x. sa is the
  keyboard shortcut for "cut". Selected thumbnails are
  bland and appear grey.

  Open the folder that you want to move the photos to, and then type...

• Multicast passed from one Mrouter to another - without reason?

  I have a L3 switch N5K environment connected to 4500 x (Switch L2).

  they have relationship neighbor PIM and eigrp on the same interface VLAN.

  I added a new switch L3 N5K (N5K2) - I have added to the same VLAN for the EIGRP and PIM neighbor relationship.

  at the moment there is nothing connected to N5K2 - all hosts are connected to N5K1.

  There is a multicast stream to switch to basic heading the hosts in N5K1.

  for some reason-the multicast even come N5K2 - despite the fact that there is no host who are listening to it.

  Watch http://lisa.mindbit.ro/wiki/doku.php?id=igmp_snooping

  beavhior IGMP should be 1 Mrouter interfece multicast will not go to a different interface from the mrouter except the mrouter had joined this group.

  so why I get these multicasts?

  Hello.

  I'm not sure about the article.

  By RFC 4541 (see section 2.1.2):

  1) Packets with a destination IP address outside 224.0.0.X which are
        not IGMP should be forwarded according to group-based port
        membership tables and must also be forwarded on router ports.
  

  You can also find interesting the questionnaire in section 4 of the RFC (and question 6).
