Start a Discussion on vSphere / VLAN Trunking in ESXi

This is my first post to this community of VMware, so please bear with me if I'm missing something simple. I went to a discussion to ask this question under vSphere, but for some reason that I'm not able. I chose to follow the community of vSphere, but for some reason it is grey when I try to choose to start a discussion. Thoughts and guidance?

The real question, I would like to ask on vSphere is how to configure trunking VLAN on a single host (no vCenter) using the vswitch standard. I find a lot of links like this one http://www.rustyhann.com/ESXi-06-Create-vLAN.pdf that describe the process of setting up a trunk on the switch port, then assign a VLAN ID to the ports on the ESXi host groups. When I change the switch to a trunk port, I lose conductivity to the host, so I can manage it is no longer. In addition, on the host, I see no VLAN ID and I don't see any configuration which leads me to believe that the switch is inform the host (thru VLAN Trunking Protocol or any other means) which have the VLAN. I might be able to answer this question for my part, I can bypass the first issue. Thoughts and guidance?

Thank you. Best.

  • Why don't I have a tab "Start the Discussion" in my community vSphere vCenter

    I miss the link in several focus groups, is it ryhme or reason to this?

    There are some communities that are divided into different sub-communities (do not know if this is the correct name for it). You can not enter into discussions on these communities at a higher level.

    If you select e.g. VMware vCenter you will see the sub-communities (like VMware vCenter Server ) on the right. Choose one of those, and you'll be able to start a discussion.

  • VLAN Trunking between 6248 and 2848

    Hello

    I have a Powerconnect 6248 switch connected to a 2848 and I try to get a VLAN on the 2848.

    VLAN working and properly receive DHCP addresses, traffic lanes and DNS runs on the 6248.

    The Protocol DHCP, DNS server is connected to port 1 on the 6248.

    When I create a Trunk port on 3 the 6248 Port, allow all VLANS through it, creating a trunk on port 1 of the 2848 on VLAN10 and try to plug in devices inside, they can see all other devices connected to the L3 switch.

    The two switches are running the latest firmware and the L3 on his own works as expected. I can't get any kind of circuits working at L2, tried with normal cable and crossover switch.

    Here is the config of the L3 6248. Switch 2848 L2 has a blank canvas with 10 VLANS created on ports 1,2,3,4 with port 1 as the trunk port installation.

    Any ideas pleeease? Anyone? It drives me crazy.

    After turning off spanning tree on the 2848, all works now.

    VLAN, trunking everything.

    Thanks for the help! :)

    I hope that if someone else can use what it took me ages to develop. I plugged on Netgear switches etc and they seem to work.

    The issue was going on between the dell 6248 and 2848, Spanning tree is enabled on the default 2848. If I was going to the Netgear via the 6248, then at the 2848 switches worked.

    My config on the l3 also works very well if someone would use :)

  • Cisco SLM224G VLAN Trunk Help! -> Problem solved!

    Hi, I have a few difficulties of implementation of the switch, I can't understand how to configure the network for VLANs created port. I have configured under management of VLANS, VLAN 10 and 20, I asigned ports e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6 with 10 PVID and e7, e8, e9, e10, e11, e12 with 20 PVID and the rest to defaul 1 PVID, frame SD = All + infiltration on filtering. Under port to VLAN-> VLAN10-> ports e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6 Tagged + e24 tag (I want this to be the trunk) and the tag VLAN20-> e7, e8, e9, e10, e11, e12 Tagged + e24. Theats all that I set up according to the SLM_Admin_Guide.pdf and I have connected the e24 (trunk port) to a Pf meaning Server (the server is configured with the same VLAN ID as on the switch), please someone tell me how to set up the trunk? I know that there is no option in the Port settings to define 'Access' or 'Trunk'... until this means? that the SLM224G does not support the VLAN Trunk? I saw some screenshots with the Linksys SLM224G and he had 'Access' or 'Trunk' setting... and Cisco does NOT work.  Help!

    Hello

    Interesting, I see two different GUIs in your screen capture, it looks like two different computers. :-)

    But the big brother of the SLM, the series SRW and I am about what follows to the SRW series, because I do not have a SLM in front of me, I had put;

    Step 1. the port settings interface return, leaving the PVID to 1 then do scroll down and save the option.

    Step 2.  On this "ports setting photo GUI, you have, I would put the switch ports to shared resources in mode Trunk. If the port must not be tagged in the VLAN 1 only, then I leave the setting the port mode 'access '.

    (Access mode allows a port belong only to one VLAN no marked only).

    (shared mode allows the switch port belong to several VLANs marked, but still unmarked in one vlan only usually the vlan by default)

    Step 3.  So I goto the "Vlan to the port' tab, Tagged for ports beloning to vlan 10 then do scroll down and save the option."

    step 4   So I goto the "Vlan to the port' tab, Tagged for ports beloning to vlan 20 then do scroll down and save the option."

    By default vlan1 in most SRW series brother would then be not identified on all ports and vlan10 and vlan 20 could be labelled on the appropriate ports.

  • Failed to connect to client host vsphere and Vcenter also esxi.

    Hi all

    I am trying to connect to the ESXi 5 of vsphere client host. I get the error message:

    vSphere client cannot connect to < ip > an unknown connection error has occurred. (The request has failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond. (L'opération a expirer)).

    and of VCENTR I am trying to add this host. I get the error. Of"request timed out".

    I can connect to the shell of ESXi and restart the vpxa services and spend. I can ping to esi IP host. but just cannot connect to it.

    earlier, he the host showed as disconnected in Vcenter. I tried to plug it failed. so I took it off I think can re add back. It did not work.

    I can just connect to client as esx host.

    kindly advice.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I am able to connect now.

    I noticed as I said previously, unable to connect to the localhost error when running esxcli. Unable to connect using the vsphere client. Unable to connect using VCenter.

    So I started to dig that's wrong with the OS esxi. and began running a few commands information esxcfg etc file system use of space, inode inconsistency, a few other commands such vdh, df to check the file system.  . and but has not changed anything. network configuration is correct.

    in these I run services.sh reboot, restart vpxa, pass reboot, restart host, check the logs, vmkernel, vpxa newspapers spend., check the date and time of the host.  I couldnot Firewall check since esxcli did not work. I haven't checked listed above step on the SSO.

    If you type esx and double tab, you will see many orders. I started testing on these orders.  so esxcli was a single command I tried later. It worked all of a sudden.

    Once esxcli has started working, I checked vsphere client to connect to esx host that it worked. then I was able to connect in Vcenter also.

    Thank you for your support

  • Solaris 10 VM does not start after the conversion of ESX3.5 in ESXi 4

    Morning all,

    Before all sorry if this is in the wrong place or if it has been answered before, I searched a lot and he couldn't find a post will be a work of resolution.

    We were running Solaris 10 (update 4 I think) running on VMware Server. Solaris server runs as a virtual machine 7.

    After you run the stand-alone converter to try to move this to the vSphere (ESXi 4) conversion process runs without problem.

    However, when we try to start the machine in vSphere machine auto-redémarre.

    If someone could help with this I would be very happy. I know that you will probably need more information, but I don't know what info could be necessary at this stage.

  • VLAN Trunking, Link Aggregation Teaming e

    Hello to all,

  • vSphere VLAN Tagging problem 4i

    I have a server of 4i vSPhere with 4 network cards that I want to use for 110 VLAN.

    I set up a port on the Cisco 6509 switch as trunking and VLAN 110 was added to the port.

    The problem is that I can only ping the virtual computer on this VLAN if defined the Group of ports as VLAN 4095 (ALL).

    If I switch the VLAN on the port to 110 group I can not connect with any virtual machine.

    wreid.

    Check if you have declared a vlan 110 in the trunk of your switch.

    a question. you have configured trunk native?

  • N3048 vlan trunk band guaranteed bandwidth

    Hello

    Ive got 2 batteries of n3048 which will be connected by a link of fiber shds 1 Gbps, there are several local networks virtual on each stack and some of them I want trunk on the binding fiber.

    an of vlan is for a balanced load diversely routed internet connection, there is a router on each site with 100 Mbps bandwidth, but also firewalls at each site that will be in the same vlan.

    I don't want no internet to run slow because something is hogging the bandwidth on the shds, so the question is how can I guarantee 100 Mbps of traffic for vlan 10 through the shds with us other traffic crossing of vlan?

    I have install other powerconnect switches and switches cisco with trunking VLANs between switches but I've ever done where I need to ensure a slice of bandwidth with QOS?

    I'd appreciate any help or advice to achieve this

    Thank you very much

    I applied the same configuration for the trunk on two piles of switch port

    Thanks for your help in pointing me in the right direction

    I used jperf on 2 laptops in VLAN 10, 1 in each switch then your laptop on the other switch into a vlan with jperf mode server and 3 computers, send traffic using jperf him around the trunk and which seems to work well. ive tried run qos traffic vlan first and then maxing the bandwidth through the traffic trunk vlan qos not and then vice versa with traffic vlan qos to a already maxxed bandwidth through the trunk and he still gave him its bandwidth of 100 Mbps in both scenarios.

  • Aggregation of links and VLAN Trunking

    I configured 2 switches with aggregates of connection between them.  Access ports are part of VLAN 10, but no longer communicate through the NEWLY created GAL.  LAG only pass a single VLAN or is there something that I am missing in the LAG config?

    After creating the LAG you must then configure the LAG entering the port-channel interface and put to general/Trunk mode. Updated general/trunk mode allows multiple VLANs on the connection.

    Example:

    Console (config) # interface port-channel 1

    mode console # switchport general

    Console # switchport General allowed vlan add 2,3,4,5 tag

  • Vlan trunk between switches traffic encryption

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply. I had a look at effect and it seems good. I would have liked to use something P2P but also limit the amount of MAC addresses on the "wire". But let me first give you an understanding of the task:

    We have two sites, linked by fiber, and we want to create a trunk VLAN everywhere and to expand the broadcast domains to you another site.

    The carrier FOOL, has a limitation on the number of MAC addresses, they allow the service to fiber, 100.

    We also encrypt the datatraversing this connectivity.

    MACsec wuold work 100% exept the source and dstination MAC addresses are still sent (at least according to https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:LEf2qOmYZyYJ:www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2011/bn-hutchison-macsec-sample-packets-0511.pdf+&hl=en&gl=za&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgmAHXpDOY0RBAE-Rv1HDpu_C_gkeSPN4cv6NGgyP0M1aXVu0UqzCfxo8t_P41ep6J37k4OLKnjfp1M9hoTDHxY22WGz2h7yB7YRLyPvRUbGS8TICzvEMlG92xqbhy6RWFugmnj&sig=AHIEtbTfu0LQIJejdYidE6yzq4lpPifxjQ
    )

    And who tempt me to eat in the limit of MAC 100.

    Ridiculous I know, but we are looking for an out-of-the-norm plan...
