• What mac - address is visible to the physical switches?

  I have a Dell crowd with 4 natachasery and vSphere 4.0 hypervisor. natachasery is attached to a physical switch. Switch does not support the CDP Protocol (does support LLDP). Data folding switch, I don't see the mac addresses of Dell natachasery. Instead, I see mac with VMWare OUIs addresses (00: 0C: 29:xx:xx:xx).

  What address is seen the switches? Where can I find these addresses mac VMWare VI Client hypervisor or MOB? Is - this vSwitch mac address (I couldn't find vSwitch mac address anywhere in the VI client)?

  In the CROWD, I see after the objects under HostNetworkInfo:

  Teddy [PhysicalNic]
  * Teddy [' key - vim.host.PhysicalNic - vmnic0 "]
  * Teddy [' key - vim.host.PhysicalNic - vmnic1 "]
  * Teddy [' key - vim.host.PhysicalNic - vmnic2 "]
  * Teddy [' key - vim.host.PhysicalNic - vmnic3 "]
  PortGroup [HostPortGroup]
  * portgroup ['key - vim.host.PortGroup - VM network 16']
  * portgroup ['key - vim.host.PortGroup - network management']
  * portgroup ['key - vim.host.PortGroup - VMKernel']
  * portgroup ['key - vim.host.PortGroup - MLAG test bench"]

  My understanding was that this mac address would be at the level of vSwitch and not at the level of the port.

  Y at - it an another simple way to find (via LLDP?) where the host is connected (vSphere 4.0 or 4.1 vSphere)?

  Thank you, in advance.

• Problem with switch Cisco SG300

  Hi guys,.

  I have a problem with switch Cisco SG300-20. After the failure of the switch boots in a kind of mode. It requires

  MAC address and serial number to be entered manually for the device. I tried to find information on this mode, but without success.

  My question is: what is this mode and how to make the start switch in this mode?

  How can I turn on the switch in this mode on purpose if it happens again and I enter the wrong information by accident.

  Thank you

  Hi Aegx, this is a rare case where the switch basically forget his identity. Although the switch is recoverable, it is recommended the switch RMA.

  If you are certain that you have neither taken under warranty, all the information that is asked is on the bottom of the switch sticker. If the thumbnail is is not present you wouldn't able to do this is correct.

  In addition, if you make a typographical error, the switch will have undesirable failures that are permanent, such as the inability to update software.

• NSX and physical switches

  I'll put up the NSX in a laboratory test with the old switches.  Other than the implementation of 1600 MTU on the same physical network, what else do I need to do it on the same physical network to ensure that it is compatible with the NSX?  Is a switch cisco 2900 a the VTEP and other abilities, that I need and what are the features?

  Basically, you would need only 1600 support MTU with the physical switch VLAN.

  The switches don't need to have the support of vxlan.

  For the physical switches point of view it's just a frame of layer 2.

  If you want to build a complex topology things can change.

  See you soon,.

• Duplex mode or physical switch

  VMware dear Experts,

  My vmnic can support the connection of 1 GB, this is the snapshot of the same thing.

  

  but when I see vmnic0 in networking vswitch page it shows 100 complete, here is the snap of the same thing.

  

  but when I try to reconfigure the 100 to 1000 Full duplex, the connection of vmnic is broken / disconnected, please help me with the same.

  Concerning

  MrVMware

  If this does not work in full mode 100 should not be expected to work in 1000 complete without changes in the configuration of the physical switch.

  I recommend you to make sure that the physical switch is set to AUTO and set the same on the ESXi vmnic. There is very little reason these days of hard to set the duplex mode.

• List of certified physical switches?

  Are there any announcements of material of VMWare Certified switches? We seem to fall an acknowledgment back to one virtual Cluster to another computer and suspect it could be a matter of switch. I searched and did not encounter a list. Thank you.

  I could be wrong, but I know of such a list.  No matter what switch supports the networking typical levels are compatible with a host ESX (i).  It is not any special requirement on the side of the physical switch in the world.

• Version 5.0 on a MAC doesn't let me switch between tabs. Can I open a new tab, but when I try to go in a different tab, it shows me just the content of the tab opened most recently. Help!

  Version 5.0 on a MAC doesn't let me switch between tabs. Can I open a new tab, but when I try to go in a different tab, it shows me just the content of the tab opened most recently. Help!

  In addition, pop up blocker works for a while and then stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to make it work again. Help!

  I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was last updated to Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but it did not help and I had the same problem.

  Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called tile tabs 4.10 I thought could easily create this problem. I went in my Add-ons Manager and disabled, restarted Firefox and tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the extension of the tile tabs is my favorite Firefox Add-on and I use it almost every day to manage my web tasks. I went to the page Add on for tile tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 did not work properly on Mac OS and install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw that they had a new is not-yet-seen version 4.11 who has tackled the problem of Mac OS, installed, and everything seems to work properly.

  I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem as I don't had not updated Firefox or the extension of the tile tabs recently. Also, obviously this could not solve your problem, especially if you have the module installed and active. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it seems based on your post time, so its probably not a coincidence.

  But its worth a quick glance and you can check other extensions if you don't have the legs of tile that might be the cause of the problem.

• Two small buttons on the side of the switch just stop working - Tecra M5

  I had this problem before too many and I was told that the way to resolve the issue was a recovery CD, which means losing all my DATA and blabla... The problem is that the two very small buttons on the side of the switch just stop working.

  Just as that. They are always connected as when the laptop is on in standby or hibernation mode if you click on them it restart the machine. We tried something with Toshiba technician before and also their repair without success Center (change the purpose of the button, reinstall the program etc...) The only remedy was still a lot of recovery CD and a replacement of the machine, thank you for that. The sentence is still started. It could be a problem as cookies, just a wild guess or anything else.

  Now, nobody knows how to solve this problem, or had the same problem?
  Thank you. Olivier

  You talk about the presentation of Toshiba and Toshiba Assist buttons. Am I wrong?
  It seems that there might be corrupted registry keys or the common modules stopped working.
  Why? I put t know but perhaps I got a solution
  Try reinstalling the common modules.
  First remove it from the Add & Remove programs. Then restart the laptop and install the downloaded again common modules.

• Switch Cisco Nexus 6004 removes more than 300 bytes IP packets

  Hi all

  We have a circuit of wave level 3 10 G running between two switches Cisco Nexus 6004. The circuit came online between our two data centers (in the same city) without problem.

  When attempting to ping to the remote-end 10G interface, it works very well with packets of 64 bytes. CDP is enabled and that we see the CDP information remote switch. However, if we increase the size of the ping to more than 300 bytes packets, we lose 1 in every 20.

  We settings MTU verifed, type of cable of 10G and duplex settings.

  Level 3A tested clean and we will move forward with more testing.

  Any ideas on the problem? We feel the carrier out and end to test with their testers. But so far, the circuit's own test. I was not sure if it is something related to Cisco. I am at a loss at the moment.

  Thank you.

  Mike

  Hi Mike,.

  There is nothing wrong with your switches or circuit.  NEXUS devices have a default COPP on the control plan that limit the size and the amount of traffic that must be the CPU process.

• Parts supplied with switch Cisco SF500

• Switches Cisco stackable, 500 and the consolidation of NETWORK cards

  Am looking using the stacking and NIC teaming to create redunancy for user access to servers. What I think is becoming 2 switches SG500-28 and set them up in a stack which appears as a logical switch. Now on the servers I have re 2 network cards to be a team so that they appear as a logical interface 1, perferably in an active/active configuration using LACP. In this team NIC take 1 member of the team to either switch B, so that each Member of the team is on separate switches.

  Givent the scenario:

  (1) who will work with the switches of the 500 series? The switches is that their price point is perfect for my client.

  (2) in addition, the connection of the battery will be there also needs to be a GAP between the switches or the connection of the battery is also data traffic?

  Hi Robert,.

  (1) I don't see any reason that this would not work as desired. There are the requirements by doing a SHIFT but being on the same physical switch isn't a.

  (2) with the switch of SG500 line, you have a few options for up/down the link between the switches to the battery, it depends on the model. Each of them supports 1 G up and down links with copper. The switches are then divided and support 5G or 10G mini-gbic down links. There is not currently an options trolling battery links.

  Let me know if that answers your questions!

• Get rid of the physical switch between 2 ESXi - Layer2 virtual servers between boxes

  Hello

  It's maybe a stupid question, but I can't quite understand the answer so I might as well ask.  I have two physical hosts of ESXi in my lab and for various reasons wish to eliminate the physical switch between them, but while retaining full vSphere functionality (HA, vMotion, DRS etc.).  Is there a switch virtual/Repeater product can I buy/use (deployed on the two ESXi hosts in a HA configuration) who can give me this feature?  I would then use Teddy ports on each ESXi host to talk to each other and additional natachasery as switchports to the outside world.  i.e. can I do this with a kind of multi-Vyatta router configuration?  NSX?  Must also support multicast.

  Thanks for your help!

  If you want to get rid of the physical switch, simply do not use it. ETH-cable to directly connect the natachasery of these two hosts of ESXi. If your NICs have the ability to auto-mdi (x), there is no something special. Some older NICs may still require cable crossover, but this is not necessary with new hardware...

• How to add the physical switch/router to NSX

  Hello

  I check several labs and I have a big question unanswered!

  How can I add physical switch resources to NSX?

  on each of the scenarios, it assumes that you have a few physical interfaces on each host, and you can assign them to a VDS.

  It's good, but it was also available on old vCenter without NSX.

  For example, how can I add switch 24 ports 10 gigabit Ethernet on my Brocade switch to the VMware resource pool?

  Thank you

  Javad

  You are welcome, of course.

  The network virtualization is not on the ability to win, but it's rather on the use of the available capacity of more flexibly to maintain security between virtual machines without worrying about the port based firewall or port-approaches physical configurations and physics on the VLAN externally in your virtual infrastructure.

  Just as the server virtualization adds capability to your server infrastructure, it allows a more flexible use of the physical capacity that is available.  You must you the capacity available to the involved hypervisors.

  See you soon!

• Aggregation of links ESXi requires the configuration of the physical switch?

  Hello

  I have two physical servers that I'll put up with ESXi. Each server has eight physical network cards. My plan is on each server to use:
  -2 management - connected to vSwitch0
  -2 for VMotion - connected to vSwitch1
  -2 for iSCSI - connected to vSwitch2 (I'll use a SAN)
  -2 to access VM network - connected to vSwitch3

  For each pair, a cable should be connected to switch1 and the second would be plugged into switch2.

  The switches are HP A5120 which are stacked into a big switch with RFID. for example I have a 'big' switch which, if one of the two physical switches dies or is turned off, would cause the 'great' switch to lose half of its ports. In this way, all four networks are expected to continue to operate even if a switch "dies."

  All the information I found online said that ESXi can have two physical cards attached to a unique vSwitch and can then do things smart for redundancy (in which case a physical NETWORK card dies) and load balanacing.

  However, while all the guides tell me how to configure it on ESXi, I'm still not sure if I should combine the two cables on the physical switches.

  So, my questions are:

  (1) in order to get the NIC or balancing working in ESXi, redundancy do I have to combine two physical ports that will connect connect two physical ports that connect to the vSwitch?

  (2) with the consolidation of NETWORK cards, I see how to have an active adapter for the management network, and an auxiliary card works fine, but for the iSCSI network, I wouldn't have only two active adapters for double the bandwidth?

  Any ideas would be much appreciated.

  Thank you.

  (1) in order to get the NIC or balancing working in ESXi, redundancy do I have to combine two physical ports that will connect connect two physical ports that connect to the vSwitch?

  No, there is no need to configure etherchannel/LACP but this will depend on the type of load balancing, you click on the ESXi host - if you use by default, you don't need to configure Etehrchannel/LACP since traffic for each virtual network interface will be only com ove a single physical port, but you will always have the reiciliency to the case where if one of the physical NIC fails traffic then released the remaining port

  If you select the hash of the IP load balancing, you must then implement Etherchannel/LACP on your physical switch since traffice can come form any physical port in the team.

  (2) with the consolidation of NETWORK cards, I see how to have an active adapter for the management network, and an auxiliary card works fine, but for the iSCSI network, I wouldn't have only two active adapters for double the bandwidth?

  Onece well once again it will depend on the Load Balancing method, you select, but you will never be able to create links physical ports to get all of the 2 GB =
