Management network on vswitch even as traffic of the vm?

Research on how our environment Vsphere has been configured and I noticed that they have the management network on the same vswitch because the traffic of the virtual machine. There are currently 2 connected network adapters this vswitch.

I know that the configuration is not recommended, I wonder if I should change and what the best way is to change it?

Move management traffic to a new vswitch or move the traffic of the virtual machine to a new vswitch? I have 2 more physical network card, so I can add an another vswitch with redundancy.

Thanks for your suggestions.

It would be best to move the traffic of vm, simply because when you change your management traffic, literally creating a new interface vmkernel, and by assigning the gateways and which can lead to a decline in the connection.  Simply create a new vSwitch for traffic of the virtual machine, create a new portgroup and re - assign the virtual machine.

That being said, it is 'better' keep the two separate, but not a condition difficult.  If you have network cards, then this is definitely a "nice to have".

  • Management network with a different IP address than the host?

    I want to isolate network traffic from my VM traffic management.  My host is on the same VLAN as the majority of my virtual machines.  Can I change the core IP network management to be different from that of my host?  Or am I stuck change IP / VLAN my hosts to something else...

    Yes, you will lose the connection to vcenter. Ideally, remove the host to vCenter, change IP and it readd back (vcenter will need access to this vlan 200 also).

  • Second NETWORK card takes over the management network

    I have a lab of dev ESXI 5.5 on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with a dual port GbE NIC (Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708).

    My basic configuration was a port of configured NIC (vmnic0) with a switch (vSwitch0) Standard.  vSwitch0 was a group of Virtual Machine (for VMS) ports and a VMkernel Port (for the management network).  Everything worked well at this point.

    When I try to configure the second NIC (vmnic1) to a different network switch port and different to connect to iSCSI, network range vmnic1 took over the management network even if it does not show as being the management network.  After that, I'm more able to connect or ping the IP of vmnic0.

    When you configure the vmnic1, I added connection Type of VMkernel.  I did not choose to use the port for traffic management group.

    When I look at the console and choose to configure the management network I see only being vmnic0selected network adapter.

    Am I misunderstood the management network configuration?  If not, does anyone have a suggestion on what may be wrong or how I can diagnose?

    I think I knew what was going on.

    I had my VMkernel for networking (192.168.2.0/24) in a different subnet to the VMkernel for iscsi link port (192.168.1.0/24).  The problem was due to the existence of a network trace unidirectional from 192.168.1.0/24 to 192.168.2.0/24 (but not in the opposite direction). As stated in the post of the blog below and elsewhere, if there are two VMkernels in networks with a direct route, the esxi host will be simply choose one of the VMkernels to act as the management network (no matter if only one of the VMkernels has active network management).

    I thought my networks did not have a direct route because of the impossibility (192.168.2.0/24) management network to communicate with the network of liaison port iscsi (192.168.1.0/24) but because the 192.168.1.0/24 network may route to 192.168.2.0/24, he made the two viable VMKernels to act as the point of view of the host management networks.

    After that I moved the post iscsi binding to a switch with no network route, my problem has been resolved.

    Re-reading the following is a blog post that helped me to understand my problem.

  • Isolate the vCenter and management host ESXi5.1 of LAN traffic

    I would add two Dell switches to an existing installation, create a private management network (192.168.x.x subnet) containing the hosts and vCenter server, so that the management traffic is isolated and in no way dependent on connectivity LAN... for now that the vCenter server and the hosts are on the local network using public IP addresses.

    Is this possible with vCenter as vCenter that one IP can be configured and how should we switch be configured to allow access to vCenter from the local network via the web and customer management interface vSphere.

    Thank you very much

    Facing your audience of LAN?  I think it depends a little bit of what looks like your LAN.  I don't think - you need not NAT your management network.  If you simply use public IPs rather than private to your internal LAN, the answer is no.  I have a client who does this same thing using 191.x.x.x for its internal network.  You try to access your network over the Internet?  It would be a different matter, and I recommend that to consult a competent network engineer.

    In short, just because you go to a public IP address range a private range of IP addresses does not mean you need to NAT.  You see NAT several times when these IP address ranges are used because they are intended.  For example, a company has a single public IP address assigned.  It uses private in its local network IP addresses.  For devices that must leave the LAN and access the Internet, you would NAT because everyone has to share this single public IP.

    Without knowing a little more, I think you'd be fine with the standard range or switching (inter - VLAN routing layer 3).

    All the best,

  • Software exists for the creation of a 'virtual' network card and going to all the traffic on the local network through a proxy server, then by this adapter?

    I can access net through LAN and my college requires a proxy for all access to the internet. If you want to use the internet, it is impossible to do not use a proxy. This is a problem for many programs that do not seem to allow you to enter the proxy settings.

    any software is to create a 'virtual' network adapter that will pass all traffic network (or any protocol x traffic) through the proxy?

    So I have do not need to enter the proxy anywhere... and I have normal internet access.
    What I saw is possible with OpenVPN, but it is a vpn service that I need .i just want to use the feature. In OpenVPN I just enter my proxy server in its framework and OpenVPN to connect to a VPN service and routes all traffic to the FAUCET adapter after which I don't need to set the proxy address anywhere... so my idea is how can I use only the last part that is routing all my LAN traffic to a virtual card.

    Support the LAN---> proxy---> virtual adapter--->, then software I access the net

    That's what I like to do...

    Although I am facing this problem on Windows 7, solutions for all operating systems are welcome.

    P.S: Proxifier is not my solution to not offer something like this.

  • Check the configuration of my management network please?

    I'm working on the settings described in this article of yellow brick, but I don't know that I was right;

    http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2011/03/22/ESXi-management-network-resiliency/

    I have two vmnic added to vswitch0, vmnic0, and vmnic10.

    2013-06-27_11-02-34.jpg

    I have this vswitch groups of two ports, one for vmk1 vmotion and the other for management vmk0.

    Tab grouping the vmotion port group NIC I specify vmnic10 as an active adapter and vmnic0 as before with backspace set to no.

    2013-06-27_10-56-42.jpg

    On the NIC teaming tab management port network group I do the opposite, vmnic10 is in standby and vmnic0 is active, but with BACKSPACE value again.

    2013-06-27_10-57-06.jpg

    Is it OK so far?

    What I am ultimately confused by vswitch NIC teaming tab configuration is two adapters program active since they are each active for a group of different ports this vswitch? and should restore the value not in this tab as well?

    2013-06-27_10-56-14.jpg

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    The first thing I noticed: you use the same subnet for your management and vmotion traffic.

    Use VLANs and put on separate segments (vMotion traffic is not encryted).

    Kind regards

  • Traffic on the management ports load

    Can someone tell me what traffic is running on the management port?  I install vsphere 5.1 with 3 hosts, vmotion and san iscsi drive. I intend to separate management traffic on a closed network of 1 GB in which the management ports will connect to a 1 GB switch which will have a port connected to the global network.  Use VMotion cela this port strongly with its activities?

    The cluster will be slightly loaded with only 8 to 10 vm across all 3 four hosts of Quad Core processor.

    I intend to connect with NICs 10Gb iscsi san and dedicated switch.

    If I had to, I could use a 10G switch to the management network.

    The individual virtual machine will be nic interfaces 1 Gb individual key of the network if necessary.

    If you could tell me the documents that would also be appreceiated.

    any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    "Best Practice" is said to have a network card dedicated to the management, and a dedicated for vmotion. Ideally different subnets / VLAN.

    In smaller environments, but I often will create this:

    vSwitch0 with 2 network cards (if everything goes well on the cards separated/asics) and with the management and vmotion vmkernel port. It works very well, thank you very much despite sometimes described as not "best practices." Well - I think that the concern is that in situations of heavy vmotion (especially when storage vmotion is concerned) traffic management could be hampered/flooded. I just never saw him in the real world, although in environments with more than 4-5 guests I always put in place in accordance with the "best practices" just because...

    vswitch 1 with 2 maps, 2 vmkernel ports (each with its own ip address) for iSCSI

    vswitch 2 with 2 (or more) network cards and however many ports of VM / VLANS are necessary.

    (just to be clear, the 'best practice' would vswitch 0 with 2 network cards and 2 vmkernel ports that configured in the management and the other as vmotion.) Each nic will be dedicated to a vmkernel, but available failover for others...)

  • That errro again... host currently has no error management network redundancy

    I don't get the "host currently has no error management network redundancy.

    I think that I have the correct configuration, but not sure since our network guys gave me the IP addresses to use for HA.

    Here is the config for HA

    The second redundancy console) is on vSwitch 4 to 77.77.77.9 in 255.255.255.0.

    I've reconfigured HA on ESX Server 6 and ESX Server 5 and even restarted them but still not the mistake of redundancy...

    Something is not properly configured?

    stanj wrote:

    If the collection of network adapters offer the same functions of redundancy, so why so many articles point to using a second console HA redundancy?

    It's simply the options given. There are several ways to provide a redundancy of HA heartbeat.

    The article also indicates HA advanced features such as das.isolationaddress2 and das.failuredetectiontime will be charged when you set up a secondary service console. It is an approach more effective, but still more complicated?

    These advanced options are not always available and also provide another way to configure HA redunancy.

    Here's something interesting to look at as well

    For me, I always learned the KISS method (Keep it Simple stupid).  Add a second NETWORK card is the easiest way to keep your redundant environment, in my opinion

    Thirdly, even with your dynamic ACL 'OUTSIDE_cryptomap_65535.65535' crypto map, it only covers the 172.18.0.32/28, so I just want to add a wider range since it seems you get the ip address of the different pool:

    OUTSIDE_cryptomap_65535.65535 list of allowed ip extended access all 172.18.0.0 255.255.255.0

    Then I would disable the following group of access for purposes of test first:

    no access-group MANAGEMENT - OUT Interface MANAGEMENT

    Finally, please clear all the SA on your ASA and xlate, then reconnect to your vpn client and test it again:

    delete the ipsec cry his

    clear the isa cry his

    clear xlate

    Please let us know how it goes after the changes. If it still doesn't work, please please send again the last configuration and also to send the output of the following:

  • management network and vCenter

    Hello

    Should I put the vCenter on the same network as the hospitality of ESXi management?

    Now I have standard vSwitch0 configured with vmkernel port = vMotion vmkernel port = network management... im wondering if I should also create v vmnetwork for example the Mgmt network name as seen in the photo.

    netowke.jpg

    I've never had problems, but I assume that from a security perspective, there is more to routed traffic otherwise on this subnet.  I have been a long time and never considered that it was essential.  In any way is ok, but I never ran on the management network and personally do not feel the need to put it out there.

    What happens if you have several subnets management? IE in my case that we have a different management of networks for some of our groups and therefore VCenter was impossible on both.  I'm surprised they put this in the documentation.

  • 2 uplinks the single 10 GB - trouble LACP with management network

    HI -.

    What is VMware recommended the installation program to a vDS with 10 GB uplinks 2 unique?

    My trades are only traffic VM, vMotion, and management.

    I noticed when allowing the LACP I get in trouble with the management network (host disconnects).

    Please advice.

    Type r

    In general, it is using load balancing (route in native function of virtual port ID) strategy by default, or for those with a distributed switch, charge base (route based physical load of NIC aka LBT) grouping.

    LBT is my default go-to political grouping, with the exception of things like iSCSI vmk binding or some scenarios of converged infrastructure as explained in this blog post.

    I'm not a fan of using a group of aggregation of links (OFFSET) between a physical switch and a host of vSphere. It adds complexity while providing a value bit of real world, at the same time, it eliminates the ability to use features such as iSCSI and vMotion multi-NIC vmk binding.

  • Is it possible to stop the conversion through the management network?

    Our management 172.16.0.0/16 network and our production network 10.0.0.0/8

    When we try to make the P2V conversion, all traffic through the firewall that we use for routing between 2 networks, that really is not set up to deal with a lot of traffic and that is what is extremely slow conversion.

    Is it possible to get the converter to push this traffic through the network of production instead?

    the system is 3 ESXi hosts grouped in vcenter 5.5.  Is the storage on a San

    ESX expose NFC (network file copy) as a service that uses a converter to perform conversions and NFC uses the management network. As far as I know, it cannot be changed.

    There is one exception, if--if you do Linux P2V, cloning goes through the network of the virtual machine and you will not have this problem.

    I think you may have a more general with this configuration problem, as the NFC is used not only by the converter (for example, SRM, VMotion, etc...). See this: why vMotion uses the management rather than the network vMotion network?-frankdenneman.nl for something completely different, but which may sometimes cause a problem with this Setup.

  • ESXi 5.5 - unable to connect to the management network

    I've been using ESXi for v3.  I have a small cluster of HP DL360 G5 where I was using ESXi 5.1 update 1.  I brought a new DL 360 G5 into the mix and decided to install 5.5.  After the installation, I'm going to set up the management network as usual and even after a reboot, I'm unable to access the site via http or the vSphere client.  For help, I installed the version of HP with CIM providers and I installed the stock VMware 5.5 with current pilot Rollup and they all exhibit the same behavior.  It starts fine, but I can't connect to the management network.  Curiously, however, they address IP does not respond to a ping.  I installed the 5.1 update 1 on the same server and it works fine.  Does anyone have an idea on what's going on?  Are there recommended troubleshooting steps?  It's strange to me because the ESXi has always been very reliable on HPs.

  • move management network to another switch?

    After you have created the cluster hosts, the hosts say there is no redundancy management network.

    After that I configured hosts, I created three virtual switches in addition to vSwitch0. I used the 5 remaining env for the three other vSwitches.

    Now I would like to pass the management network located on vSwitch0 to vSwitch1 and then move the NIC physical vSwitch0 vSwitch1 and then just Dump vSwitch0.   There is no other virtual machines that use vSwitch0, although there are many who use the other vSwitches

    Is there a better way to do this?


    Thank you!

    Now, I would like to move the management network located on vSwitch0 to vSwitch1

    Is there a particular reason to move the management to vSwitch1 network? Or is it because of the warning message

    the guests say there is no redundancy management network

    This is the message which can be ignored if you want to remove the see message KB1004700

    If you want to move the management network, I suggest to create a second management on vSwitch1 network, then remove networking on vSwitch0 and delete the uplink and add the binding rising vSwitch2
