How can I assign some VLAN in Virtual switch?

I have ESX 4.0 installed on two IBM Blade hosts that are in a HA cluster to enable vMotion.  I have a virtual switch created on each host.  Virtual machine connect to the same switch.  I added a new virtual machine to on one VLAN separated.  I have a few "How to"... questions:

1. How can I put the new virtual machine in an assignment of VLAN different from other virtual machines?  (I think it's through groups of ports but I always read)

2. can I put several VLANS on the whole virtual switch? (If Yes, what is the snytax? "43; 40 "or"43, 40' or "43-40")

3. What is the best practice for this kind of Setup?

Thank you

Hello and welcome to the forums.

1. How can I put the new virtual machine in an assignment of VLAN different from other virtual machines?  (I think it's through groups of ports but I always read)

Port groups - you're right.  Create a port group, and then assign the virtual machine this connection.

2. can I put several VLANS on the whole virtual switch? (If Yes, what is the snytax? "43; 40 "or"43, 40' or "43-40")

Yes, you want to create a new port group for each VIRTUAL LAN required in the vSwitch.

3. What is the best practice for this kind of Setup?

There is a lot of information around this in the Guide de Configuration ESX.

Good luck!
