  It seems that "get-nicteamingpolicy" comandlet cannot take dv types as input, but I don't know if.

  Seems I forgot, you must use Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy to VDS switches

• Distributed port group

  Hi guys,.

  Is it interesting / reason to be distributed without an adapter vmkernel port group?

  I guess that you are referring to a vmnic, the physical network card? If so, the answer is "rarely". The virtual machines in this group of ports cannot talk about what anyone outside the host on which they are located.

  If you are talking about vmkernel from the host interface, the reason why you would have a dvPortgroup without that one would be a VM guest liaison.

• Consolidation and failover for the uplink on the Distributed switch port group

  Hello

  I have a problem with the implementation of a distributed switch, and I don't know I'm missing something!

  I have a few guests with 4 of each physical cards. On the host eash I configured 2 virtual switches (say A and B), with 2 physical network by vSwitch using etherchannel adapter. Everything works fine for etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP for the latter.

  Recently, I decided to create two distributed switches and move the respective physical ports of virtual switches to this distributed switches. Once again, I want to configure etherchannel and route based on the hash of the IP. But when I open the settings for the uplink port group, aggregation and failover policies are grayed out and cannot be changed. Apparently they inherit configuration also but I don't know where!

  You must set the card NIC teaming policy on trade in reality and not on the uplink group more expected.

• NSX Distributed Firewall - can you firewall connected vNIC distributed to port groups

  Hello

  If your virtual machines were connected to various groups of distributed (I.e. VLANs) port on a vSphere distributed switch, then you installed NSX, NSX allows create you firewall rules that apply to these VM vNIC is related to these same groups distributed port? I wasn't sure if you were first to migrate virtual machines to virtual switches before NSX allowed to assign firewall rules.

  Thank you.

  We can use NSX dFW windout enable virtualization of network (VXLAN and controller NSX) on the Cluster.

  DFW NSX can operate on both VSS or vDS

  NSX DFW works at the level of VM vNIC, which means that a virtual machine is always protected, regardless of how it is connected to the logical network.

  VM can be connected to a port group VLAN supported VDS or a logical switch (port-group supported by VXLAN).

• How is it that I can ping between ESXi vmkernel interfaces with the sizes of package exceeding the value set in my passage upstream and one located in my vmkernel port group itself?

  
  I have a 10 GB dell powerconnect 8024f the switch and the firmware is OLD, but the port config shows maximum frame size = 9000 to all cable ports

  2 guests ESXi 5.5 wired, build 1331820, put each host computer network is managed by a single port dual qlogic 8150 ANC

  When I connect to my windows VM to check my new 10 GB connectivity (it is configured for jumbo mtu = 9000 frames) and ping-l 8190 against ESXi vmkernel interface that was MTU of 1500, I get an answer without any packet loss... How can it be if the port is configured for only 1500 MTU?  I thought that the two vmkernel port group and vswitch properties must have 9000 mtu defined, it appears that the vswitch properties override the port group properties.

  But I know I must be missing something, a few important concepts, somewhere, because when I connect to ESXi via ssh I can ping devices with values greater than 8190 and not just windows virtual machines that reside on the same host where the ping uses the internal bus, but I am referring to the connections of the host of other ESXi on the switch management.

  In summary - how the VMkernel does ping and response to pings of bigger sizes greater than the value of the switch upstream?   and why do ping with large packets get answers when the vmkernel port group is always set at 1500, is this a bug or is this feature obsolete?   I remember specifically in ESXi5 that I had to configure the vmkernel port group and the vswitch for this property to work.

  Unless you specify "Don ' t fragment" (-f for Windows) you will be able to use any size package successfully.

  For ESXi, take a look at Troubleshooting ESXi Jumbo Frames.

• VMware port group vs vswitch ensures networking nic

  Hi all

  I'm a bit confused as the eve of NIC on vswitch and network card set watches over the port group

  for example

  If I have an ESXi server with 3 vmnic1 network card, vmnic2 and vmnic3

  and I have set up a 'network' vswitch, where I put vmnic1 and active vmnic2 and vmnic2 as before

  I create 1 portgroup

  (1) "data1" where I put on the vmnic3 level as asset and vmnic1 portgroup, vmnic2 as Eve

  How things work it seems door as vmnic 3 of Eve upgraded vswitch and intervenes at the level of the portgroup

  can clarify you for me please?

  On the group level on the port you van ignore the order of failover that is set to the level of vSwitch, so in this way, you can define a failover different/NIC teaming for any group of port defined on this vSwitch.

  It is not necessary to do so, if your Setup doesn't require it.

• vmreconfig.pl adding a network adapter with port group

  I have searched the net looking for a way to add a network adapter on a virtual machine and specify the port group / name of command line or with vi perl of the network and have found no examples (or change a network map of existing virtual machine port group). Adding an adapter with vmreconfig.pl is easy, but there is no place to set the port group (containing a special VLAN id for the new virtual machine that is just cloned). I am creating a fully automated system and this characteristic seems to be missing or I missed just plan. Can anyone help?

  Here is the code which is close to what we use:

  #$netname is a string of the name of the network, the host view is the moref of the host that you deploy on

• Need help setting up a network home wireless to the working group. I tried everything I read and nothing has worked. I got lost.

  I just received a more recent laptop and wants to set up a network so I can transfer files back.  It seems that it would be a fairly simple network to set up, but obviously I'm missing something.

  It must be a wireless network.  I have a wireless router, two Toshiba laptops, running a Windows 7 and the other runs Windows 10, and I have a printer.  I can access internet with laptops or both if the router does not seem to be the issue.

  I read articles that said I had need of a homegroup, but that did not work.  Then I read an article saying since my computers running different operating systems, that I couldn't use a homegroup that I should use a workgroup.  I followed the instructions given in the article and which don't seem to work either.

  The names of working group on both computers are the same and so are the passwords.  The computer names are different.

  I was on the old computer and when I go into Windows Explorer, under network, I can see the two names listed, however, when I click on the other computer, I get a message saying that the computer is not on the network.  I got the internet service at the time so the router was working.  Another time I tried to copy a small file to the other computer and the message said I didn't have permissions to do so.  I got the same message when I tried to add a folder to the other computer in the network area in Windows Explorer.  I get the same types of messages when I try things peers, while on the new computer.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  So far, since I got the new laptop, I spent nearly three weeks, trying to get things to work.  This seems to be the biggest challenge of all.

  Hi Carole,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  Let me suggest you refer to the article below which will help you to set up HomeGroup from start to finish.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

• Automate the network port group selection in vsphere replication

  Hi, when you use the vsphere replication tool to recover servers in the data center of DR, the tool does not gives option to select network settings. I have to manually add the port groups and turn on the system remotely vcenter. Is it possible to automate this process, when the replication of a major part of the vms ~ 100-150. I would like to know if there is another way to fix the process and avoid the manual load.

  I use replication of vsphere device version 5.8

  Thank you

  The only way to automate this process is through the Site Recovery Manager.  Automate and orchestrate BC/DR is a big part of the value offered by SRM. The other advantage is the ability to test your recovery plans without disruption of service.

  Does that answer your question?

• Standard vSwitch_Custom VM (Vlan200_VM network) port group does not.

  Hi guys...

  Scnerio:

  ESXi 5.0

  VCenter 5.0

  2 connected local network cards to vswitich 0 Active\Active configuration.

  The virtual computer name: FSAPP_1

  Note: good VLANS are created externally NETWORK

  I created another group of ports VM network VLAN 200_VMnetwork.

  I have attached TWO maps LAN to VM. A LAN card is connected to the port default VM network group and another is connected to network VLAN200_VM.

  A LAN card is connected to the local network (Private IP) and another is connected to the Wan (public IP)... IF I CONNECT the TWO VMNIC "DEFAULT virtual machine network" I am able to ping both subnets.

  
  

  But any vNIC which is connected to the VLAN200_VM network is NOT working...

  
  

  
  

  Please see the attached snapsshots...

  Thank you

  I did not ask you to do what I asked you to test is the separate two VM on the host even be configured to use the VLAN 200 portgroup and verify that these two people are able to talk to each other.

  Once you've found that the books above. Go back to your network team and make the request to configure the switch in the trunk output ports (which does not remove the tag VLAN on the package on the output of the switch) as opposed to be defined as access (that strips the tag VLAN).

  It is my firm belief that the port group does not work because your switch is misconfigured based on my above statement.

• What is the different NIC Teaming policy between vSwitch properties setting and Port-Group

  Hello

  I know that there r two ways to set NIC Teaming policy: vSwtich or Port Group.  What is the different?

  Who is the highest priority?    Could the port group properties overrides the setting of vSwtich? Or just inherit.

• How to set security on the port group during the creation

  How can I set the security options on a group of ports in the creation? I want to clarify the 3 options to reject at the level of the port group.

  Thank you

  Mike

  In this case, you will need to use the AddPortgroup method.

  $esxName = "MyEsx" $swName = "vSwitch1" $pgName = "NewPG"
  
  $esx = Get-VMHost -Name $esxName $netSys = Get-View $esx.ExtensionData.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem

• Add Virtual Machine Port Group vSwitch (network and Vlan ID tag) by Script

  Hello

  I want to add a port group of VM for about 200 guests vSwitch. This can be done manually, but if anyone can help me to do it with the help of Powercli. We have guests organized on the basis of clusters.

  Virtual machine port group.

  Tag network:-XYZ

  VLAN ID: XYZ

  Thank you

  Pranab

  You could do something like that

  $clusterName = "cluster"
  $pgName = "test2"
  $vlanId = "1111"
  $vSwName = "vSwitch1"
  
  Get-Cluster -Name $clusterName | Get-VMHost | Get-VirtualSwitch -Name $vSwName | New-VirtualPortGroup -Name $pgName -VLanId $vlanId
  

  It will add the portgroup to the vSwitch on all hosts in the cluster

• Distributed Port Mirroring on hosts in same vDS

  Hello:

  I have two hosts (esx01 and esx02) 5.5 ESXi running connected to the same vDS 5.1.  I have no problem passing traffic between virtual machines that are on different hosts and in the same port group, so I know the vDS does what it is supposed to.  Each host has 8 vmnic and vDS 8 links rising, all set to active.

  However, when I install a port mirroring distributed on the vDS and choose a source port and the destination port, I get only the traffic on port of destination if the ports are on the same host.  If the source and destination are on different hosts, no mirror traffic is received.

  Sort of, I worked around it by using the following https://everythingshouldbevirtual.com/vmware-vds-rspan-port-mirroring, however, that ends up giving me lots of duplicated packets when I attach to a single connection (probably the switch is to see the input/output traffic on the two vmnic of in the binding rising vDS?)  For each package, I see 8 duplicates.

  But it seems to me that it should "work" without having to do anything to miss.  I also tried to look: vSphere 5.1 - VDS - Port Mirroring feature enhancements - part 3 | VMware vSphere Blog - Articles VMware., but with that it seems that are filled with separate vDS, which in this case an RSPAN makes sense to switch to pass traffic.  But in my case, it's a simple switch that is sitting between two hosts connected to the same vDS.

  Thoughts or directions to guide me to the answer would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello jmapt,

  Please note the following:

  Page 152:

  Distributed Port Mirroring:  Mirror of packages of a certain number of ports distributed to other ports on the same host. If the source and destination are on different hosts, this type of session does not work.

  And:

  vMotion compatibility:

  Port mirroring between ports distributed may be local. If the source and destination are on different hosts as a result of vMotion, mirroring between them will not work. However, if the source and destination are moving to the same host, port mirroring works.

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-55/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vSphere-ESXi-vCenter-Server-551-Networking-Guide.PDF

  Good vDS seems to essentially be a single switch is not. The control plan is unique and is driven by vCenter but the real data plan in at the host level, and each host has its own data plan for the vDS. So the underlying terms of data are they different switch running on different hosts.
