How to set an MTU of 1600 for test Lab at home for the NSX on Vmware workstation

Hello.

I'll set up a laboratory at home to build a laboratory to the NSX. I am running 3 on VMware Workstation 11 Esxi hosts. All three hosts of esxi run each 4 Ethernet adapters on them.

To configure installation VXlan for my lab at home, I have modified the virtual machine's .vmx file and changed the vmxnet3 device and it works.

Ethernet1. ConnectionType = "custom".

Ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000".

Ethernet1.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE".

Ethernet1. AddressType = 'generated '.

ethernet2. Present = 'TRUE '.

ethernet2.VNET = "VMnet1.

ethernet2. ConnectionType = "custom".

ethernet2.virtualDev = "vmxnet3" - change to vmxnet3

Adapter type VMxnet3 only is not supported for VMware workstation and also one of my hosts broke down several times with the low error message in the log file.

Can someone guide me how to set up a lab NSX on VMware workstation and use 1600 MTU for VXlan traffic. Any help is very appreciated.

Hi all

I managed to solve this problem by separating the storage traffic to a different vswitch and the traffic to a different VDS NSX.

110 1 vmk2 - vtep interface for the host

119 1 Linux1.eth0 - test Linux VM

This laboratory works fine for me now and my Adviser for laboratory at home will be not to use the same network card for storage traffic that was used for the traffic of the NSX.

Thank you for all your help.
