Install ESXi on the same VLAN as VM traffic
I know it is advisable to separate your network management, but in this case we do not have a VLAN additional to devote to this.
What to look out for when you use the same VLAN to install ESXi (network management) like some of my virtual machines?
Also, I downloaded ESXi installable 4.1; I still need the local disks on my correct server install?
The reason of VLAN in your example would be more for safety. Using a separate physical NIC for different traffic (management, vmotion, etc.) is more about performance, although a separate network offers security. If all goes well in your network design, you create a secure network that isolates the management and storage of regular network traffic traffic.
ESXi can be installed directly on a USB flash drive. It's a support install destination from the installation CD.

Inter communication VM in two ESXi using the same VLAN ID
Hello
I am creating a lab in my server ESXi (192.168.1.10). The default VLAN (VMNetwork) connected to ESXi is VLAN 1. If the virtual machines with 192.168.1.xx IP. able to communicate to the external network.
But I created a new 25 VLAN in my ESXi and added two virtual machines in that ESXi. Communication between these two VMs is perfect.
My question is, what should I do if I need these 2 VMs to connect a computer virtual hosted in an another ESXi with 25 VLAN?
Thank you

Well lets go back to the original question:
But I created a new 25 VLAN in my ESXi and added two virtual machines in that ESXi. Communication between these two VMs is perfect.
My question is, what should I do if I need these 2 VMs to connect a computer virtual hosted in an another ESXi with 25 VLAN?
If you don't want your VM in 25 a VLAN on a HOST to speak to other virtual machines in the VLAN 25 to HOST B, you will need to configure it as the attached picture:
Your psyhical switch should the Tag VLAN on ports so that he knows how to route traffic. Now I guess that your fault WHAT VLAN on all your switches is 1 as it is pretty standard. VLAN 1 is also past reguardless so you will probably just tag with 25 ports VLAN. Once the ports are all stamped this VLAN, they will be able to talk with success. Now what happens, it's your 2 VMS in the vSwitch can talk because they are both on the same vSwitch with VLAN Tag on it, however, when you try to talk to another virtual machine to another host the package arrives at your psyhical pass and does not see a label on this port if it falls. The only ports that you need to add this tag VLANS are the your NIC psyhical on the host with that vSS is connected.
I hope that this has helped or made things clearer

network stream between 2 virtual machines in the same vlan and host using DVS
Hi experts, so 2 virtual machines on the same vlan / subnet and on the same esxi host using VDS need to talk to each other, that they get switched by the VDS internally or they headed north for network switches and come back?
Welcome to the community - it will stay internal to the ESXi host.

2 groups of ESXi allow the same network for vmotion?
I have 2 groups in the same data center. The first is a cluster of ESXi 4.1 of 8 guests and appx 120 VM. The other is a cluster of ESXi 4.1 6 hosts and appx 100 VM.
On the servers in the cluster first, I mgmt interfaces on vlan 5 and vmotion interfaces on vlan 6 (different VLAN = recommended). On the servers in the cluster 2, they were Setup with the interfaces of mgmt and vmotion interfaces as well on the vlan 7. I want to correct this by moving vmotion to one vlan different.
Is there a reason that I should not use vlan 6 for vmotion for both groups? Or would it be better to have each cluster on its own vmotion vlan?
Thank you.
Yes. We have 9 clusters in two different vCenter, and they all use the same VLAN for vMotion.

2 SSID on the same Vlan?
Hi all -
Newbie question. When I set up wireless, I'll be able to use 2 different SSID on the same vlan?
Example:

Hi James,
I hope that the attached material will answer your question:
Cisco Aironet 1100 series
Using VLANs with Cisco Aironet Wireless Equipment
Obsolete versions of software Cisco Aironet permit binding multiple SSID to a VLAN. The current versions are not.
Configuration Guide for Cisco IOS software for Points of access Cisco Aironet, 12.2 (15) JA
Multiple SSID configuration
VLAN id - vlan
(Optional) Assign the SSID to a VLAN in your network. Client devices that associate using the SSID are grouped in this VLAN. You can assign one SSID to a VLAN.
I hope this helps!

Dynamic assignment of the NAC to the same vlan came on and off strip
Hello
Pls forgive my ignorance, I'm fresh in the biz of the NAC.
I have a requirement for a client, very large high rising with numerous hospital, they want to assign MDs to the same vlan, if he or she uses the Office at out clinic, which would be OOB Layer 3, and even he or she uses the Tablet PC/PDA wireless during the round room.
The question is whether this is something achievable. A little trick how to do it would be very useful.
Appreciate your expertise.
Thank you
Saami
By user role VLAN can be activated for OOB.
The VIRTUAL LAN is configured on the role and setting up OOB, there is a check box that you need to activate so that the user receives the vlan configured on the role (I don't remember the exact section now..).
With that, whenever a user who belongs to a specific role connects, he will receive the same VLAN according to what is set up on its role.
I hope this helps.

Cannot ping hosts on the same vlan on the 2 switches.
Hey guys so I create my own network in Packet Tracer 6.3. While the hosts can ping others on the same switch 2960 and VLAN, they are unable to ping a host on another switch in the same VLAN. For example. Josh PC on S1 (192.168.10.10) cannot ping PC Doge on S2 (192.168.10.13). I'm sure that they are on the same subnet, so I thing it is a problem of junction...

Tagged management VLAN and the virtual machines on the same VLAN
I'm faced with a problem related to our Brocade switches newly acquired and get the private VLAN to work on trunk connections to our ESX servers. Every time I try something different, he creates a new problem.
In our configuration, our management of VLAN is not tag and we have a VLAN for this management network that is placed on our switches VLAN no marked native. We also have virtual machines hosted on those same ESX servers that are on the same VLAN and everything works fine. However, when I change the ESX management to carry a label on this VLAN and change the switchports accordingly (IE no untagged VLAN native), management work, but hosted on the ESX Server machines that are on the same VLAN can get no network connectivity.
Is it possible to have a management network labeled and also the host of virtual machines on the same VLAN or is it totally impossible? I'm not very familiar with networking behind ESX, so I apologize if this is a dumb question with an obvious answer.
Thank you
Mark J.

Yes, it is possible... why it doesn't work for you I don't know, but try the following:
1. set up the Group of ports of VMS to use VLAN;
2 configure the interface of management VMkernel port group use VLAN;
3 configure the physical switch port to allow to this VLAN and put the default VLAN natively for these interfaces.

PowerCLI and vCLI - install both on the same server

Probably a stupid question, but I vCLI installed on the server vCenter Server (necessary for a health script that is running)

When your environment is locked, you of course have to execute scripts on the vCenter.

Two servers in the same vlan, DMZ can be firewall with each other?
I have a Windows server vm on a DMZ, and I need to add another soon. We need to separate these two servers so that neither can see the other, but they must be on the same vlan. I'm looking for in vShield, but do not have this installer again. VShield will be able to separate them, or someone has a better suggestion?
Hello
Ah, your physical switch uses VLAN private for your guests. If you use a distributed virtual switch, you can configure one by VM PVLAN allowing entrants but no communication between the nodes.
If you are using VMsafe you can achieve the same thing using the policy that denies the communication to the VM in VM virtual machines via subnet blocks but allows access from your firewall.
VMsafe and vShield Zones are two distinctly different firewall technologies. vShield Zones is a firewall device VMsafe-net is located just before the vNIC on penetration or just after on the output of the vNIC. Each of the different problems, but for this use case, VMsafe can be the best way to go.
If you do not have an Enterprise Plus license then you cannot use the virtual distributed switches so PVLANs may not work for you.

I'm not sure but based on the selections of purchase stating you can buy for Mac and Windows for equal opportunities of purchase you are able to install and activate on two different platforms using the same serial number. I know that this is the case with the purchases of items but Lightroom does not seem to come as often.

Install ESXi on the SD card in Dell R710
I get 2 servers Dell R710, MD3000i SAN and VMWare Infrastructure 3 Enterprise (with Virtual Center Foundation). When you talk with the Dell Server specialist, he said that he would save us a lot of money on servers if I installed ESXi on a card SD of myself. (you must get the level premium for the server support if you put ESXi embedded)
First of all, I know that the card must be 1 GB or less, but I was wondering if there is a specific brand or model that would work better?
In addition, can I put the card in, make the appropriate changes to the BIOS and install ESXi directly on the SD card on a CD? Or, I have to install ESXi on the map with a workstation has a SD card reader and place it in the R710?
I searched a bit and can only collect pieces on it. Any help would be appreciated!
The links should help you, but it will not be a supported installation. I would also check to see if Dell provides a built-in ESXi recovery CD. Have you checked to see if you can just order
