• PIX 515e, multiple VIRTUAL networks on a physical interface to DMZ

  We try to set up multiple VIRTUAL networks on a physical interface to the DMZ on a PIX 515e.

  The goal is to have logical subnets linked to our single, physical interface DMZ.

  Here's what I've tried so far without success:

  The switch

  -created the vlan 30

  -added switchports fa0/1 to 30 of vlan

  -attached host 192.168.100.1 in fa0/1

  -added switchport fa0/24 to the vlan 1 and vlan 30 with multimode

  -interface PIX DMZ connected to fa0/24 switchport

  -attached host to switchport fa0/10 172.16.1.55 (vlan 1)

  PIX:

  Auto interface ethernet2

  logical ethernet2 vlan30 interface

  nameif DMZ security50 ethernet2

  nameif vlan30 dmz2 security50

  address IP DMZ 172.16.1.254 255.255.255.0

  IP address dmz2 192.168.100.254 255.255.255.0

  Results:

  -172.16.1.55 has full connectivity to the PIX and beyond.

  -192.168.100.1 cannot ping the PIX to the 192.168.100.254 or anything else besides.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I realize that I could buy a four port NIC and use the physical interfaces, but I can't get the approved purchase.

  Thank you

  Creation of VLANS on Ethernet1

  We want to create a new interface VLAN - VLAN30 and name DMZ2. Also affect the security level 50 in it.

  Step 1: Create a physical Interface:

  PIX (config) # interface ethernet1 vlan2 physical

  Step 2: Name the Interface and set the security level:

  PIX (config) # nameif ethernet1 inside the security100

  Step 3: Assign the IP address of the interface:

  PIX (config) # ip inside 192.168.1.1 address 255.255.255.0

  Step 4: Create the logical Interface:

  PIX (config) # interface ethernet1 vlan30 logical

  Step 5: Name of the Interface and set the security level:

  PIX (config) # nameif vlan30 DMZ2 security50

  Step 6: Assign IP address to the interface:

  IP pix (config) # DMZ2 192.168.100.254 255.255.255.0

  Step 7. Switch, set the port where from the inside, to the Isls or dot1q physical interface. Place the sheath in the native vlan2 as in step 1.

• Script to create multiple virtual machines model works is not for the network adapter variable

  We are working on a script to create multiple virtual machines from a template. The script works fine, but when we try to include commands to set the NIC to a group of specific ports on a dvswitch script errors on. Here's what we have so far. This script (less network variables) works, but we would like to include the network configs in the script as well.

  This is the part of the script that configures the network/dvswitch adapter... but does not work properly.

  You cannot use the - model and Networkname - parameters of the cmdlet New - VM in a single order, because both are in different parameter sets. You must first create the virtual machine and then use the cmdlet Set-NetworkAdapter to change the portgroup of the virtual machine. As in example 4, assistance from cmdlet Set-NIC:

  --------------  Example 4 --------------

  C:\PS>$myNetworkAdapters = Get - VM | Get-NetworkAdapter-name "NIC 1.
  $myVDPortGroup = get-VDPortgroup-name MyVDPortGroup
  Together-NetworkAdapter NetworkAdapter - $myNetworkAdapters - $myVDPortGroup Portgroup

  Retrieves all network named "NIC 1" cards of all virtual machines and connects to the specified distributed port group.

• DC virtual in VMWare Server virtual network configuration

  I'll put up a virtual AD network on a virtual server installation.  The host machine is supposed to be portable (i.e. the LAN IP will change, and it may be offline from time to time).  I'm trying to set up the first machine on my network, the virtual domain controller.  I don't know what to specify for the default gateway.

  Currently, on the domain controller, IPv4 is configured as follows:

  1 = bridged network adapter

  IP address: 192.168.131.1

  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

  Default gateway: (empty)

  Preferred DNS: 127.0.0.1

  Alternate DNS: 64.71.255.198

  Should I leave it like that, or specify one virtual network cards as the default gateway?

  Without a default gateway, you will not be able to route to the DNS server that you specified: auxiliary DNS: 64.71.255.198

  If you think you have all the traffic in your MS local virtual (hosting IE everything than ob this host and always keeping local traffic), then no DG not required, but I suspect you'll want to make the web etc as you go along, if you need a DG to be routable

• Best use of multiple NICS (collaborate with VIRTUAL networks or physcially separated)

  Set up my new production environment vSphere and trying to figure out the best way to set up the network.  I have pictures to illustrate, but the basic question is:

  1. use all NICS in a pool and VLANS to separate traffic - or -

  2 devote some physical nic to only certain things (VMotion, FT etc..)

  We use Dell R710 2 servers with 6 NIC of each.

  Our SAN is connected via zFCP iSCSI, see you in the group is therefore only for failover of emergency if environmental FC had to leave for some reason any.

  Please let me know which design you think would be the best.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Everyone says to separate the service of the VMnetwork console.  If I can separate the traffic of service with one console vlan why separate physically?  If something happens to the service console connection disconnects but my machines always communicate then I would have trouble.  Why not make sure that if the network paths are for machines that I can control the server VM?

  Your VMNetwork is one of network environments more hostile within the vNetwork as its arbitrariness and a point of attack if someone breaks into a virtual machine. If you have the virtualization management network attached to your VMNetwork is on, there is a VERY good chance that the pirate VM now will be used to launch an attack against the network of virtualization management. Given the current set of attacks there is a VERY good chance of success. For security reasons, you want your management network virtualization to be separated and protected by a firewall of any other physical and virtual network. Ideally on its own switches with output physical switch VLAN in use. However if you use VLAN physical switch then you put your trust in these spending patterns, so you want to increase your monitoring of these switches.

  Since the original post, I combined the iSCSI traffic because it is a failover of emergency only where my zFCP hardware has a problem.  The iSCSI link rarely go to never get used and I didn't spend 2 physical network cards to something that would almost never be used.

  You want to spend 2 links for iSCSI, if you still do not have a failover, you can the bandwidth and redundancy. Consider all the links of storage redundancy.

  Let me know what you think on the service console.

  When you use VLANS in the vNetwork you are automatically protected against most known layer 2 attacks, but in the pNetwork you are confident that your switch configurations you will protect. These configurations have been known to change and not necessarily for the better. Some say, it must break so for that to happen, but 1 problem of configuration and your SC is now attacked. Remember, once the virtualization management networks can be attacked they can probably be broken. I know a pen-Tester, which can do that in a very short time, and they will have your virtual environment.

  Protect the machine from service/management console, Client vSphere, vCenter servers as if they were gold, access to them implies access to almost everything. That's why VMware strongly recommends that you create another network of virtualization management a firewall of all systems on your system. That within this firewall that place you jump machines that run all vSphere SDK and vSphere client and that you use something like RDP to access these tools without their execution through your firewall. Make this thing increases the security of your global virtual environment of giant protecting your investment in the current batch of management network attacks. VLANs are not a security tool, they are a tool of separation of network based on the pNetwork is correctly configured, maintained and checked. VLAN security is based on the confidence in your pSwitches not something that is authoritative.

• Not available in the configuration of the adapter VMNet8 virtual network

  Hi all

  I have HAD the following config:

  Virtual Server 2 on a machine with a physical NIC XP

  Two comments machines two Ent W2K3 running.

  IP address 192.168.1.1 and 2.1 default gateway of 192.168.1.5

  Both machines network cards configured to use VMNET8. VMNET 8 configured through the virtual network with IP 192.168.1.5 Editor

  The virtual card configured VMNET8 with 192.168.1.5 address in the host network configuration and the default gateway set as 192.168.0.254, that is the address of the gateway for my network home.

  With this config, I have had my two virtual on the same network and "Native" computers to the internet via my home network.

  Problem now is that somehow my journey becomes stripped on the host. The NIC VMNET8 achieved somehow a metric is lower than the physical host adapter. No problem when accessing the net from virtual methods, but when you try to access the net from the host machine, it attempts to route the internet traffic on the virtual interface on VMNET8 and of course fails.

  In addition, the possibility to connect the virtual machines to VMNET8 is not an option in NIC on each virtual machine settings more. I only have NAT, connected by a bridge and host-only.

  I spent some time on the issue without success so I uninstalled VMware and removed two virtual machines. After you have reinstalled, I am always presented with the same two questions.

  Does anyone have an suggestions?

  Kind regards

  Hamish.

  Welcome to the forums!

  I would say to keep the values by default as long as you have a good reason to change.

  Configure:

  I guess 192.168.1.0/24 is your address for VMnet8 network!

  The adapter VMnet8 host to:

  no gateway 192.168.1.1 by default, it is not necessary here.

  Comments:

  Either DHCP (served by the DHCP of VMware Server) or fixed IP 192.168.1. < starting="" with="" 10=""> , DNS, default gateway: 192.168.1.2
  If you use the VMware DHCP server control if 192.168.1.0/24 is configured as network VMnet8 address.

  Do not connect to the vNIC to VMnet8, choose 'NAT', which is VMnet8.

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'Useful' responses Thank you!!

• Issue of V-Switch virtual network, possible configuration of VLAN

  A screenshot of doc word of my virtual network is attached. I'm trying to get my external labeled Virtual Switch (vSwitch2) talk to the VM (vSwitch0) network switch. My goal here is to be able to connect a physical PC into the switch labeled vmnic1 external physical and be able to convert a virtual PC VM via a cross over cable. I don't know that it would be in the same subnet as the network of VM vmic0. Do I have to install some kind of vlan etc... The physical box with XP on it can perhaps start with DHCP and enter an IP address on the same subnet bridged somehow of the external vmnic1 in the VM Network vmnic0. What is the easiest more quick to make this work? Please see the attachment.  Thanks in advance for your help

• Fully virtual network

  I currently have a single Linux public invited on ESX 4. I would like to divide it into several guests who have their own network that is completely internal to the ESX Server. For example, taking the mysql off the coast of the prompt public face and giving him his own virtual machine that can be accessed by existing comments on a virtual network card.

  I did this years on VMWare Server 1.0 by a "Custom" network interface (rather than NAT, connected by a bridge or host only), such as VMnet4. I can't work on how do it on ESX 4 well because as far as I can tell, the interfaces are all similar to what was "Bridged" Server 1.0.

  How can I do this so that multiple virtual interfaces can talk to each other, but in no case to the outside world?

  The reason that I am so insistent on them not being not able to talk to the outside world, it's that I got once my contract is finished from a data center because a virtual network such as this one had a top DHCP server and it was somehow affect the rest of the data center, causing problems with physical machines that didn't belong to me. I've never worked on how it happened but I don't want to take that risk again (I don't plan on not on use DHCP for this network virtual anyway, but better be safe than sorry).

  I hope that I don't not too simplify this for you.  Network traffic will remain internal if the vSwitch machines virtual connected to doesn't have any physical (uplink) NIC connected to it.

  Create a virtual switch with no attached natachasery, create a second vNIC in each VM attached to these switches.  Of course, you should make sure that the IP address scheme works... That's assuming you don't need routing (which you shouldn't, this should be a simple configuration)

• Routing between networks in a configuration of quartering of its assets-

  Hi all

  This old chestnut again...

  I've recently upgraded to LM 3 to (mostly) take advantage of the built-in network features that have been proposed.

  However, I am still struggling with this: http://communities.vmware.com/message/946079#946079

  I have experimented with it in the new version just a little, but can not find a way to put several networks (physical or virtual) in a ring-fenced and then totally blocked configuration routing between them (WITHOUT using a virtual, multi-homed routing device). Things are certainly much easier, being able to manage all interfaces through the console of LM is much simpler, but the response to the post linked above suggests that I would be able to deliver in a transparent manner... (at the time, I thought the questioned was an employee of VMWare, but I could be wrong)?

  Thanks in advance.

  Your struggle is partially valid.  Lab Manager 3 manages several networks, but it will not address the routing between networks by itself.  You have two options:

  (1) do what you do - creating multihomed VMs to route between networks.  Now, you won't have to use VC to all do this.  Capture library and fenced deployment now works without manual effort on the side.

  (2) create multiple physical networks, road between them using hardware network and technical deployment on them.  "Block the entrance and exit" would be enforced by the deployment on the production completely independent physical networks.

• Is it Possible to access only bypassed FC HBA to multiple virtual machines

  Hello

  I have a FC HBA on my 5.5 ESX. Server. It does not support the function of SR - IOV. Is it possible to access this FC HBA across multiple virtual machines?

  If possible, please provide as follows to go further.

  Kind regards

  Aashish

  It is not possible. The basic material underlying PCI specification does not have a single shared between several independent operating systems PCI device.

  SR - IOV solves by creating the virtual function peripheral PCI, but as you mentioned, that he can't stand not and first of all, ESXi supports that SR - IOV for Ethernet network devices and not for native FC HBA (excluded FCoE) functions.

• Virtual network editor - virtual DC leak on network

  Hello

  I created a laboratory to test of windows server 2008 in vmware workstation 11. I put the custom virtual network adapter:

  

  I've got 2 VMs - windows server 2008 and win7. I tied VMnet2 both of these machines and created the field and join a windows 7 virtual computer to the domain. Great! but I have 1 problem. I put my IP to domain controller: 192.168.123.10

  But I can ping this address of the host (laptop) machine. is this normal? I thought about creating above network settings would completely isolate the physical network. Did I miss something or wrong configured network? I don't want the virtual network of VM fleeing somehow to the physical realm. I can't risk having 2 DCs on the network.

  

  so simple answer was watching me in the face. Just had to untick "connect an adapter to the virtual host on this network.

  For those looking to implement an isolated test lab windows domains, these are the settings you need.

  Thank you

• Bind Virtual Network Interfaces to the physical Interfaces

  Good day to all.

  My situation is as such:
  

  I have a virtual machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux as guest OS and my host machine is a laptop running Windows 8.1. Each operating system has two network interface cards. I want to place the virtual machine on the line between a router that would be on the left (side Intranet) firewall followed by Internet on the right (side of the internet). I hope there is an option that would allow me to effectively "bind" one of each virtual NETWORK adapter to each physical NETWORK adapter, so that when I place the machine host on the network line, it would be like the VM would be online also. So, basically I want to accomplish what is highlighted in RED in my small figure above.

  The full rectangle is the guest OS with its two network cards on each side, and the incomplete rectangle is the host device with its own two network cards on each side. I hope that someone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

  VMware Player, "Configure the adapter" parameters are indeed not unique for each virtual interface. You use VMware Workstation to meet your requirement. For workstation, you can create two VMnets and link your two adapters to them, then connect your two cards in the comments to the VMnet respectively

• Easy way to export and restore the virtual network editor in 10 workstation

  I'm looking for an easy way back up and restore my settings of the virtual network Editor. I use Workstation 10.0.3 on Windows 7 64 bit and have several networks configured on different host machines. After Googling for the problem, I found the following:

  -on a Linux host, the settings are stored in/etc/vmware/networking. However, I am not able to find the file in Windows. Source: http://serverfault.com/questions/535193/vmware-workstation-how-to-automate-or-script-changes-to-the-virtual-network-co

  -on a Windows host, all parameters could be saved through export of certain keys in the registry. But these keys are at least partially unique on each host, and it would be a real pain to get the keys on each host individually. Source: Re: VMware WS configuration backup

  -vnetlib control should support a statement "-export" which creates a text file containing the necessary information. However if I try to run the command, as described in the link, no file is created on my machine. The command must be ' start/wait vnetlib.exe - export path_to_file' (I am running this command of in the workplace, of course installation directory). I also tried "vnetlib" - path_to_file to export, but that did not help either. I know that vnetlib works because I reinstalled successfully the vmx86 with vnetlib service - install. If also tried the vnetlib64.exe, but no luck. Source: Re: virtual network editor

  So is - someone of you knows how to solve my problem? I'm looking for a way to write a simple batch script that exports the settings without having to deal with the registry. My virtual network Editor loses its configuration from time to time and I don't want to set up everything by hand again.

  Thanks in advance.

  Reason of trying to define virtual network of specific subnet configuration is the 'device type' I use the use of this subnet a bit hardcoded. A little bit because it's very complex to change, due to the nature of software inside.

  Welcome to the community,

  In some cases UAC or virusscan/firewall application can block the change. As a first step, start the virtual network in the menu editor start by clicking on the link and select 'Run as Administrator' to see if that solves the problem.

• Export the virtual network settings

  I would like to request a feature to be able to export 'Virtual Network Settings' from my computer.

  Whenever I have install or re-install VMWare Workstation on a computer, I have to reconfigure my virtual network settings manually to match the configuration of static IP address I set up on my guest VMs.

  However, if I was able to just export the virtual network settings (and then import these settings into a new installation), I would be able to save time of configuration on each of my computers/workstations and thus avoid manual effort either myself or to inform my colleagues on how to configure their virtual network settings to take in charge the VMS the comments.

  Thank you.

  Run the command with cmd - a started with "run as Administrator"?
  Did you change directory in the installation directory WS first?
  The command runs without any messages.
