• Help connect customers 2 linux on windows host 7 on 2 physical network cards

  I'm relatively a newbie, but I searched the forum and pulled some of my hair, I need help.

  I have 2 clients linux running windows 7. I want to fill each to a separate physical NIC Linux client

  Here's what I did:

  I have access to the vmnetcfg utility.

  Bypass: I can fill 1 image of the physical NIC 1 and this image connects successfully; the system allows me to fill the 2nd image as well as the 2nd NETWORK card, but the default value in the network address on the first NIC.

  I checked the VMX file and looks like that below, I could not find all the entries on the E0 or E1 interfaces, the VMids appear me as different (long number)?

  Host networks: is it possible to combine physical network cards with the virtual vmnets? I could also connect the networks host with different IP addresses if it works.

  Thank you in advance for your ideas, I'd really appreciate your suggestions.

I can understand is that 2 NICs are bridged automatically together in 1 bridged network. I want to that I'm not able to reach is 2 separate bridged networks, one on each physical NETWORK adapter

  To have a guest passed on a VMnet you don't need an IP address on the physical NETWORK adapter information.

  You cannot fill two physics to even the VMnet adapters (except you have a driver of consolidation on the host, but this will create a logic board that gets filled then). You must assign a (default) VMnet0 physical NETWORK card and the other to a free VMnet (VMnet2, for example). Each VMnet is a virtual network that can hold a single IP subnet, so it is not possible to have two cards with two different subnets physical in a single VMnet.

  Host networks: is it possible to combine physical network cards with the virtual vmnets?

  Yes. If you assign a physical NETWORK card to a VMnet it becomes another bridge.

  It's OK, but I would like to have 2 separate bridged networks. I tried this but I find myself with a single bridged network.

  Assign a physical NETWORK card to VCMnet0 and the other to VMnet2. This gives you two adapters bridged. In the prompt for the virtual NETWORK adapter choose what VMnet (and thus the bridge) must be used.

  This is a common configuration. Learn more here: http://pubs.vmware.com/ws71_ace27/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=ws_user/ws_net_advanced_linux_secondbridge.html

• Best way to make the physical NETWORK card-> vmnic number?

  Is there a known way to understand the link between the vmnic0, vmnic1... logical names and their relationship to physical network cards of ESX/ESXi? In other words, if you get on a new server with, say, 6 physical ports and a config on one vmnic, how do you know which translates to correct physics?

  The means that I can think of are:

  • Check the MAC address within vSphere Client, but then you must somehow know the MAC of the physical NETWORK adapter

  • check the number of PCI of vSphere Client, but this seems a bit difficult to understand?

  • fix pull cables and are looking for "plugged" or not.

  So, how do you do this, if necessary?

  In fact, it is quite easy to see which port on a teddy bear refers to things in the VMware environment...

  Look under configuring the host tab/Server/network element equipment adapters... This will show each NIC and what vmnic # are assigned to the ports. It will also show the MAC address of each port. If they are assigned to vSwitches, it will also show this info...

  

  You can also see the Networking section (still under the Configuration tab) to see the vmnic # assigned to each vSwitch...

  

  Multiport NIC generally have markings on the plate PCI to let you know which is which... All you really need to know is what is the beginning of numbering.

• Several physical NIC cards connected to vSwitch / Port Group

  Hello

  I have several physical NETWORK adapter on a host connected to a single vSwitch / port group, does this mean that the speed of the network is shared by all of the physical NIC, or I have to do something special to enable this feature?

  Please see attached .jpg

  Thanks in advance.

  If all of your network adapters is active in the nic teaming configuration, you must have a physical switch that supports the aggregation of links and you must configure it. The ESX itself does not have this kind of work.

  Actually is a bad idea to let all NICs connected without having to configure the nic teaming (1 active and others waiting for failover) or without going through the aggregation of links.

• How to get 2 virtual NIC works when there is only 1 physical NETWORK card?

  Hello

  Running VM Fusion 2.0

  I want to create a Virtualversion of Ubuntu that will have 2 virtual network cards which is both connected to my NIC physical 1

  I added the network cards successfully, but when I run ifconfig eth0 only arises

  I edited the vmx file by adding the lines below, but without success

  ethernet1. ConnectionType = "custom" ethernet1.vnet = 'vmnet2'

  Someone knows how to do this?

  See you soon

  Tom

  I guess that you configure additional virtual networks in Fusion by using something like: Advanced Networking Configuration - Tokamak Networking Scripts for VMware Fusion , since vmnet2 does not come configured out of the box with the merger and there is no way in the GUI to do.

  I interpret what you're trying to do like the creation of two virtual network cards in a time filled with the same physical NETWORK card in the Mac VM. Can you explain what you are trying to accomplish by doing that? This configuration can cause two interfaces with an IP address on the same subnet, including many UNIX-like (and Windows) nuclei do not take very kindly.

  You may also check the Ubuntu network configuration (to ensure that the new NETWORK adapter is enabled and configured).

• How can I set up 2 physical network cards, 1 for the host and 1 for vm?

  Hello

  With the help of VMWare WS 7.1.  I have a physical machine with 2 network as the host cards. Currently only one of the cards network is connected to the network.

  It hosts a SBS 2008 Server virtualized (while we prepare permanent news of the home server). I know not to leave the virtual machine SBS see doamin on the network controllers.

  I want to give a static IP address on one of the network adapters on the virtual machine and allow the host have the map of others.

  Can someone give me the steps or point me to the instuctions?

  Or is it better to use a NETWORK card?  The virtual machine is currently using a NIC a nic virtualized in bridged mode.

  Thank you!

  1. disable automatic bypass on VMnet0 in network virtual and configured Editor to use the map NETWORK active on the host.

  2. in the Virtual Machine settings > set it to network adapter connected by a bridge.

  3. in the guest operating system, configure the IP address as you would on a physical computer.  Take a look at: Managing Your Windows Small Business Server 2008 Network

  It's as simple as that.

• Mapping of several physical network adapters to virtual network adapters

  Hi all

  I am wanting to know how to combine physical network adapters to virtual nics in Vsphere 4.1. I have a gateway virtualized device that supports multiple WAN connections and balancing on these connections. The bridge is all authentication PPPoE/A, so I need to have separate cards for each PPP connection. So, how can I connect a physical NETWORK adapter to a virtual NETWORK adapter and have all access the same VM virtual NIC?

  Hope that makes sense!

  James

  Right-click on the virtual machine, and then select change settings. On the Hardware tab, click Add, and then add the virtual NICs that you will need.  On the network connection screen, you will be able to select a network label which corresponds to VM port groups you created.

• How can I associate the virtual machine to the physical NETWORK card?

  Hello

  I have a host, has two physical network adapters.

  I want to use one for VM and give an ip address for this but I do not know how to configure it. In my view, "Manage virtual networks" fuction for this...

  Thank you!

  You should already have a phyiscal WHAT NIC assigned to VMnet0 (bridged). So if the choice as vonnection for a guest. Create a second connection open by assigning the physical NIC then to VMnet2, for example (VMnet1 is already in use). Assign this connection to the second guest.

• Find a host physical NETWORK card IP address

  I am trying to find the IP addresses for my physics of the NETWORK adapter on each host.

  After http://communities.vmware.com/message/1332071 , I get MAC addresses, but I can't seem to get the IP addresses

  Karl

  ESX is used to map the vSwitches on your physical network adapters.

  You define consoles of Service or vmKernel (s) on the vSwitch (es).

  You have external access via the Service console COS.

  This is the IP address that you can access COS of the ESX Server.

  The natachasery have no Service Console (or VMKernel) IP addresses defined on them.

• Can I configure a dvswitch with 1 physical NETWORK card

  Hello

  A small question.

  I want to run a few tests associated with netflow, so I install a dvswitch

  I would like to add 2 hosts tteignant with a unique Teddy.

  y at - it no minimum number of natachasery pre - req?

  the dvswitch would work if a host has only 1 Teddy (uplink port)? will I still be able to remotely manage the esx host?

  Thank you.

  y at - it no minimum number of natachasery pre - req?

  the dvswitch would work if a host has only 1 Teddy (uplink port)? will I still be able to remotely manage the esx host?

  No, there is no such minimum number of natachasery physical. It works perfectly with a single dvUplink without interruption if you prepare a dvSwitch then use assistants vmkernel/vm portgroup of migration so that entrust you the uplink.

  Worst case you can still fix things in the cli with esxcli or esxcfg-vmknic/esxcfg-vswitch.

• virtual network card to the physical network mapping and default loadbalancing

  What Virtual Machine virtual network card is map physical NIC.

  For example.

  lets assume Vswitch1 on host1 esx dedicated for the network of the virtual machine (port group) and it has 6 cards network linked to it (vmnic1, vmnic2, vmnic0, vmnic3)

  Load policy (default) Balancing - from the originating virtual port (it balances only outbound traffic through all the nic assigned to vswitch1 right?)

  ESXi host1 <-Vswitch1 (the VM network) <---(vmnic 0-vmnic 3)

  Lets assume that esxi hosting 6 virtual machines and each virtual machine has two network cards configured.  Through some documents, come out of that when the virtual machine is running, it gets connected to the ports of availabe on virtual swicth. say, I turn on the virtual machine in the order VM1, VM2... VM6.

  Vmname virtual adapter port on virtual switch1 Mapping of the physical network adapter                        

  VM1 eth0, eth1 1.2 which mappeed of the physical NIC to eth0, eth1?

  VM2            eth0,eth1                              3,4                                      ?

  VM3            eth0,eth1                              5,6                                      ?

  VM4            eth0,eth1                              7,8                                      ?

  VM5            eth0,eth1                              9,10                                    ?

  VM6            eth0,eth1                              11,12                                  ?

  Since we use load balancing based on the virtual port, can two virtual map of the same virtual machine are mapped to the two physical NETWORK card I want say eth0 VM1 is mapped to the (physical nic) VMNIC0, VM1 eth1 get connected VMNIC1 (physical nic).

  It would be great if you could explain how the virtual network adapters are mapped to the physical NIC Y at - it a command or a script to the list NIC(of all vms hosted on esxi) virtual NETWORK adapter mappings physical in detail.

  Is there a way to know what virtual NIC to connect to which physical NIC

  With the virtual NETWORK adapter, you hear the virtual card inside the VM? If if and when you use several VMNIC like you, there is no visibility in vCenter (usually vSwitches, we see with Distributed vSwitches).

  However, you can use the command-line ESXTOP tool in the view 'n', for the connection between the virtual machines and the outgoing vmnic.

• Best design for the use of 8 physical network interface cards on a 5.1 ESXi host

  I have 8 physical network cards to work with on and 5.1 ESXi host using Enterprise Plus license.  I need to repair the following traffic:

  Management traffic

  vMotion traffic

  Virtual machine traffic (probably 2 natachasery will suffice for this)

  NFS traffic

  Won't fault tolerance.  Natachasery-how much should I dedicate to NFS, vMotion, and traffic management?  What failover policy I should use (active / active) (active / standby) for each?

  It is business more licensing and vSphere distributed switches are used.

  Thank you

  Yes, I would put the backup in the switch as well as management traffic and vMotion is they use vSS or vDS. The other option would be to reduce your vDS for NFS traffic of 4 natachasery 2 natachasery and then or to add to the existing vDS that contains management and vMotion VM traffic to add it extra bandwidth or create a new vDS with these 2 natachasery. But at the point of my original thought around creating a vDS is based on all of my bandwidth throwing together and then cut it but I want it and do not have to trade around natachasery after the fact. But there are so many different ways to achieve that is the fun part.

• VM simple Load Balancing with 4 physical network adapters

  I have one main server with 4 cards of physical network dedicated to this server in a vSwitch. I wanted to know the proper way to balancing configuration in vSphere to allow a theoretical throughput of 4 Gbit/s. The options I have, as you know:

  1. Port according to ID - this the method by default when you have 2 or more physical NIC connected to a virtual switch. The VM traffic is realized on a physical NETWORK card based on the VMs virtual port ID and is incremented in the style of round robin. So if you have 2 NICs physical network, the first drop of will traffic VMs that the first NIC, the second VM shuts down to the second NIC, third comes out first NETWORK card and operating system on - host ESXi does not resemble the traffic so if VMs 1,3,5 are heavy network users they will go on the same NETWORK adapter even if the second NETWORK card can be totally unused
  2. Address based MAC - based similar to port, but the physical NETWORK adapter is selected according to the MAC address of virtual machines
  3. IP hash database - the physical NETWORK adapter is selected based on the starting and destination IP address - so if a virtual machine connect to several IP addresses that traffic will be disttibuted on all physical network cards - note this will require LACp be configured on the physical spend this ost ESXi connects to

  The first two sound me as they would give me what I want from the physical NIC selection is based on the virtual source, not the destination machine. So, since I have only a virtual computer, the LB would never use a physical NIC and I'd be stuck with 1 Gbps.

  The third option seems more promising, but I do not have much exposure to the management switch. LACP would be similar to the creation of a trunk on my 3Com switch 2848 reference? It seems likely, but I wanted to run it by the experts to make sure.

  Thank you!

  EDIT: I think I just found the killer. Cited in the manual for my switch:

  The switch does not support the aggregation of links
  Protocol LACP (Control), which is specified in the IEEE standard
  802.3ad.

  Does that mean I'm desperate to do my 4 Gbps with the swithc and I MUST get a LACP switch?

  You will need either LACP or EtherChannel on your switch upstream to support IP hash configuration, install, configure, manage Volume 1 book for ESXi 5.0. With hash IP, MAC address of the virtual computer may appear on any of the physical interfaces available for the vSwitch (at least for the outbound traffic), which would cause problems on the side of the physical switch unless a method of aggregation (LACP or EtherChannel) link type is enabled.

• Virtual network cards only 100mbs - how to speed up?

  I have a 1 GB physical NETWORK card on my Windows 7 64 bit host. However, virtual network that are installed by 9 workstation cards show that they run at only 100 mbs. Is it possible to run all of the 1 GB instead of 100mbs? I can't find where that is controlled and network cards virtual is not a speed setting that I can find. I wish I had all of the Go go all the way through the virtual hosts (all Windows versions).

  You can change which virtualized NIC is presented to the guest.  Edit the .vmx of the guest and add/edit the following line configuration file:

  If you want an emulated Intel adapter (I think this Signals as a 1 GB link speed):

  ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".

  ... Or if you want emulated vmxnet3 adapter (I think this Signals as a 10 GB link speed):

  ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet3.

• Double network card and 2 networks

  Hello!

  We have networks, 10.247.148.0/23, and 10.148.0.0/24

  We also have 2 physical network cards on our computers. Is it possible to have two networks on these computers?

  We want that the first person to be the ip address for the local operating system and the other one only availible for virtual machines (VMWare Workstation)

  Without any special configuration, we get problems on the local operating system (Windows 7) because it does not know where the packages sendt when using local network programs installed on the computer.

  So, is it possible to make this work with VMWare Workstation 7.1.4? And if yes, could someone explain in detail how to do this?

  Use Bridged networking in the virtual machine settings and disable automatic bypass on VMnet0 and assign a specific NETWORK adapter in the virtual network Editor.  If you do not want to use this physical NETWORK adapter and just comments and then disable everything except full VMware Protocol on the host physical NETWORK card settings.
