Trunking VLANS on ESXi 5

• Trunking VLAN directly from ESXi in SAN servers

  Hi all

  I think that I made a mistake in choosing to go down this path, see the details of the deployment:

  the installation of the failover network limited bandwidth to a single link (failover) instead of 2 Gbps, which can improve performance.  as the solution of trunking VLAN, however out of despair and the stress very load high,.

  I was thinking of redesigning the network all over again from scratch, using the trunking VLAN directly from Server ESXi in SAN to use 2 x 1 GB Ethernet

  cable to enhance the delivery of data to the VM without the use of any

  switch between SAN and servers.

  What is a possible solution using 2 x ESXi and iSCSI MD3000i SAN?

  Kind regards

  AWT

  Since the SAN has only had 2 NIC by controller,
  + so I guess I can provide only 2 Gbps maximum for the ESXi server +.
  + each using trunking VLAN and leave the rest unused switch ports used by the other server. +

  MD3000i does not aggregate links (like Equallogic, for example), but works with MPIO.

  MPIO ESX is NOT able to aggregate links, but he is able to use the different path for different LUN.

  So the solution is simple build at least 2 LUNS, and working with different path (the path is normally automatically selected by ESX)

• How to configure map physical NETWORK on the trunk on an ESXi Server

  I have a Server Setup ESXi and I want to be able to have virtual machines in different VLANS. I have set up my Cisco port to the trunk. I can't find where I put the physical NETWORK adapter on my ESXi on the trunk. Is this possible in the ESXi? Once I have set up on the side of Cisco, I lose connectivity to the virtual computer because the NIC ESXi is not trunking.

  There are a few things that you must be aware.  If your vlan native is not network management vlan that you will need to label the management network to the vlan in ESXi.  You attach VLAN to trade.  The management network is essentially a GROUP of ports in order to entrust a vlan, you will have to go to configuration-> network-> and click Properties to the vSwitch i.e. on the management network.  Usually vSwitch0.  In there, you can then click on the network of Managment and edit and assign a vlan.

  In addition, if you want to have multiple attached networks to some VLAN different, you'll need create a portgroup to each of them and assign a vlan to each.

• Trunk Vlan 1 on switch Dell 3524

  Hi all...

  Need help please!

  I want to configure the VLAN 1 on dell 3524 because VLAN 1 has IP DHCP from the Mikrotik,

  the default VLAN 1 trunk mode configuration?

  Thanks :)

  By default, VLAN 1 is the VLAN native to an interface configured in mode switchport Trunk/general. If you want 1 VLAN tag, you need to change the VLAN native to something other than 1 and then tag VLAN 1.

  Example:

  Console (config) # interface ethernet 1/e16

  Console switchport mode trunk #.

  Console # switchport trunk vlan 99 native

  Switchport trunk console # permit vlan add 1

  You can also use the general mode.

  Example:

  Console (config) # interface ethernet 1/e16

  Mode console # switchport general

  Console # pvid general switchport 99

  Console # switchport General allowed vlan add 1 tag

• VLAN and ESXi 3.5 U3

  At home, I have a DL380 G4 with ESXi on it

  what I want to do is to create a trunk dot1Q to a cisco 2960

  I want to do 6 7 maybe Vswitches with a tag of vlan diferant

  IE (Vswitch 1 to vlan 1 and put only the management of the interface on this vswitch)

  then create VM I want is maybe on other VLANs (for example if I want to have a virtual machine directly on the internet, I would be able to use vlan 7 and not worry that someone could hack into the host or any other virtual machine)

  can do this and how?

  also I want to the team or etherchannel 2 network cards

  If you create switches 6, or 7, you would need 6 or 7 physical network adapters, because you can't share a physical nic between vSwitches. I suggest to create 1 vSwitch with multiple exchanges, you would be able to define a vlan to each portgroup. If you add two network cards in the vswitch containing exchanges you also redundancy!

• Question of vlan SG200 (ESXi VSA config)

  Hello! I have three switches SG200-26, and I have also two hosts ESXi I want to connect exactly as shown on the attached map of 'best practices' by VMware.

  

  Even if I created the VLAN in the SG200 and I put the two VLANS (508 and 608), as authorized these ports (where my ESX NIC are connected), I can't host ping host 1 2 when the configuration of their NETWORK interface card to use 608 VLAN.

  Am I missing something? My IP is all in the 192.168. network and the only reason for which I need a VLAN is to separate the traffic of the VSA backend internally, only these two hosts will use the VLAN. So I think that I don't have to create virtual interfaces on my router because this is the case, is my understanding correct?

  Also sending my switch config screenshot below... 3 switches all have the latest firmware.

  

  Any ideas what to change to make it work on the SG200 would be appreciated!

  VMware also has that Protocol VLANS on the physical switch must be 802. 1 q, not of ISL, someone knows which one uses my SG200-26?
  In addition, the only requirements is that my two hosts:

  • Are in the same subnet.
  • Have static IP addresses.
  • Have the same default gateway configured.

  Thank you for your time!

  Alex

  Hi Alex,

  My switch supports 802. 1 q, your config switch seems ok at this point.

  Here are some of my thoughts that I see the announcement and I'm a bit confused.

  What worries me is the configuration on the wall of sound, or the router, they are not spread of VLAN between ports on the router?

  • You're not VLAN 508 multiplication and 608 via the router, so I guess you have two network interfaces on the router, one for each of the two switches as shown in the first diagram... You can expand on the description of the network configuration of the router.
  • You are using two NICs for each host and spreading with tag vlan packets for VLAN 508 and 608 of each NETWORK card?  But the pattern of reference would indicate that you have four physical network interface cards to each HOST.
  • If so, I suppose that HOST servers are connected with the GE15 and switch 3 and GE16 and GE2 GE3 switch 1

  Nope, I want to talk to you, please send us your phone coordinated with this validation URL

• Private VLAN on ESXi 5.1

  We had ESXi for over a year; standard networking is very well.

  But for testing small virtual machines, I wish I could assign IPs private at will (192.168.x.x) and to communicate beyond the host.

  I created a VLAN with an ID on a standard switch but how do their itinerary outwardly by a IP address?

  It's the virtual routers with DHCP built-in VMware, and if not, what people use?

  I used m0n0wall previously - enough lite and OK for Setup - http://m0n0.ch/wall/downloads.php.  You can import the image of VMware with VMware Converter and this is an installation guide - http://aldosoft.com/docs/m0n0wall-getting-started.html.

  For the virtual machine itself you will need to configure 3 virtual network cards.  When you start m0n0wall I'm sure vmnic0 would be the LAN / WAN interface vmnic1.

• E trunk Vlan

  I have to configure two virtual via 2 VLAN (vlan, vlan 100 & 200).
  I have configured the switch with the port in trunk mode fisical and tag vlan 100 & 200.
  I've implemented a first virtual switch vlan ALL and then another switch with 2 Virtual vlan100 & vlan 100.
  I want to know if this configuration is correct or not?

  You need not necessarily 4095 VLAN on a PortGroup.  The real question is what exactly you are trying to accomplish?  You need the PortGroup Test to be able to access all traffic regardless it be tagged or not?

• 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.

  Hello

  You are on the appropriate tab, just type 100 or 200 should you able to type value. Check out the screenshots below.

  

  

  

  

  

• VLAN: ESXi <>- Cisco SG300

  Hey everybody,

  I always try to get the hang of networking with ESXi/vSphere...and I was little confused as I had a configuration problem.

  I have an Intel NUC5i5MYHE with 5.5 ESXi. As he has that one NETWORK card I am configuring a trunk so I can separate groups of ports within the host with the VLAN.

  Cisco SG300 has several VLANs (including: HAND = 10, LAB1 = 20, LAB2 = 30). * 1 is still active but VLAN native = 999 *.

  MAIN are all fair access Ports on VLAN10 (10UP).

  GE22 is a trunk with VLAN 10, 20 and 30 with label (10T, 20T, 30t, 999UP).

  A few groups of host ports ESXi has currently (simply called the VLAN I want installation and set on the VLANs)

  Also, I created the extra VMkernel port with VLAN10 just for wasting his time with (I can't access to this IP address, but after looking at VMK0, I think that I need to add static routes to the bridge?)

  V0 & VMkernel 0 = VLAN 0 (none)

  V10 & VMkernel 1 = VLAN 10

  V20 = VLAN 20

  So, with this configuration, I am unable to access the host via vSphere Client. However, if I put GE22 on SG300 to 10UP (10UP, 20T, 30t) I AM able to access... but is not what I want, right?

  To my knowledge... 0 (none) passes a VLAN while 4095 (all) does not take into account any VLAN tags completely, sending the frame as-is to the customers. (While I would let VMK0 0 (zero) as the correlates directly to my unique NIC physical, right?)

  So... my computer that connects with the vSphere Client Gets VLAN10 penetration tag (access). Switch then forwards Egress GE22 through the trunk to the ESXi host with a labeled VLAN10 framework.

  The framework should be accepted at the VMK0 whatever the tag VLAN and connect or if the frame belonged to another customer sent on the vSwitch... unless I'm confused here somewhere.

  Can someone enlighten me please?

  Thank you

  Basically, you have two options. If native/default of the physical switch port VLAN is set on the Management VLAN, then do not set a VLAN ID on the management VMkernel port group, otherwise the value the VLAN ID on the virtual side. Ultimately that a single point (the physical switch port, or the virtual port group) is responsible for the labelling/close the network frames.

• 5.1 ESXi, VLAN and vmotion

  Background:

  We had a 3 host cluster 5.1 executed with a unique standard vswitch with all the VLAN enabled on it for a while as all our virtual methods were in the same vlan lets call it 101.  We are now adding a second VLAN to our network, let's just 102.  What I did is the following:

  Taking 3rd host mode maintenance, trunking VLAN 101 & 102 in the esxi host3, adding second vm machines on vswitch and vlan pool determined 102 and published original machines of vm pool to set the vlan 101.  Host cluster for trials, closed in maintenance mode.  Put a machine virtual on it put in vm pool 2 that he started has obtained an appropriate ip address, all network communications good, great!  Restore vm pool 1, rebooted, got a vm pool 1 large ip address!

  Deleted test vm, replace the cluster host.  Machines automatically starts migration to it (DRS), they have moved very well, but any network connectivity dropped, I had to go to each migrated virtual machine and manually disable the 'connected' box click, press ok, then modify, connected and ok once again and everything worked fine.  No idea why this is happening?  Should I use a distributed switch?  As long as vm networks are named identically on the hosts and have the same connectivity, they should work shouldn't they?

  When you say '... VLANS trunked 101 & 102... ", I can assume that you are using the Cisco switches and talk about 802. 1 q?

  How you have configured the physical uplink ports. Please check back "portfast spanning-tree trunk" is configured for the ports. For more details, please visit http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004074

• ESXi 5 can't get VLAN ID to work

  Hi all

  I am very new to ESXi and this is the first time that I used it.  I'm having a problem with VLAN ID work in the ESXi host environment.  First of all, let me say my goal.  In the ESXi host, I want a VM for 64-bit Ubuntu Server 11 that has two VM cards, each with a different IP address and default gateway.  My plan is to use the VLAN ID to do this.  Here is the hardware configuration.  Right now it's just in my laboratory experimentation and learning so much at home I use a Comcast for my ISP.

  Modem: Motorola SB6120 Surfboard.

  Router: Cisco SA520 (safety device, a layer 3 routing)

  Switch: Cisco Catalyst 3560-X

  ESXi host box: Supermicro Storage Bridge Bay 6036ST - 6LR

  5.0 ESXi hypervisor running

  The Supermicro has two boards of physical server to both nodes.  I have just met with approximately 1 knot now.

  Here's my setup.

  Modem is connected to the WAN port on the SA520.

  SA520 under LAN > several subnets of VLAN, I to the networks.

  ID of the VLAN 1: 192.168.75.1 255.255.255.0 (default value for SA520)

  VLAN ID 100: 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

  VLAN ID 2: 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

  ID VLAN 3: 10.10.11.1 255.255.255.0

  All have disabled DHCP if I can do all the static routes on my devices.

  2 to 4 ports are turned off and port 1 is set to Trunk with accessions VLAN to all 4 networks.

  Port 1 on the SA520 is connected to Port 1 of the switch.

  Track 2 of the switch goes to port 1 on the server network card.

  3 switch port goes to port 2 on the map server.

  Switch 24 port goes to my laptop.

  The switch has the same VLAN ID created (1, 2, 3, 100)

  Change IP Default Gateway 192.168.75.1 192.168.75.100 subnet 255.255.255.0

  VLAN 1 IP: 192.168.75.100

  VLAN 2 IP: 10.10.10.100

  VLAN 3 IP: 10.10.11.100

  VLAN 100 IP: 192.168.1.100

  Port 1 is set to 802. 1 q, trunk, all THE VLAN ID, Native VLAN ID 1.

  Port 2 is set to 802. 1 q VLAN ID 1, trunk Native VLAN ID 1.

  Port 3 is set to 802. 1 q VLAN ID 2, 3, Native VLAN ID 2 trunk.

  24 port is set to 802. 1 q, trunk, VLAN ID ALL, Native VLAN ID 100.

  On the ESXi host, the management network is set at VMNIC 0

  VLAN not defined

  Static IP 192.168.75.10 255.255.255.0 DG 192.168.75.1

  DNS Pri 192.168.75.1

  Now, it works fine.  I can ping on the ESXi host and I can connect with VClinet.  However, if I put the ID VLAN 1 for management on the ESXi host network can't connect or ping so be it.  Can someone tell me why?  The switch Port is interconnection with VLAN ID 1.

  To config network of the ESXi host using VClinet, I have two VSwitches.

  Vswitch0 has 1 virtual machine port group and Port of VMKenrel 1.  The VM kernel Port is the Port of management network and a IP address of 192.168.75.10.

  Vswitch1 has 2 virtual machine port groups.  One has a VLAN ID 2 and other 3.

  I have a Ubuntu Server VM with two network adapters in VM.  One is defined on the port VLAN2 and the other on 3 group.

  I have Unbuntu under etc/network/interfaces

  Auto eth0

  iface eth0 inet static

  address 10.10.10.101

  netmask 255.255.255.0

  Network 10.10.10.0

  broadcast 10.10.10.255

  Gateway 10.10.10.1

  Auto eth1

  iface eth1 inet static

  address 10.10.11.101

  netmask 255.255.255.0

  Network 10.10.11.0

  broadcast 10.10.11.255

  Gateway 10.10.11.1

  Once more if I have the ID VLAN about 2 and 3 for groups of two ports on Vswitch1 nothing works at all.  If I put both groups of ports for no VLAN ID then eth0 10.10.10.101 works very well and can be ping and I have internet on ubuntu server.  But 10.10.11.101 eth1 does not work. Cannot ping it.

  Since my laptop I can ping (when no VLAN ID in ESXi)

  192.168.75.1 and 100.

  10.10.10.1, 10, 100, 101

  10.10.11.1 and 100 but NOT 101 (ubuntu server)

  192.168.1.1, 100, 113 (myself)

  So I need to know why I can set the VLAN ID in ESXi and I have them work and how do I get the two different IPs to my Ubuntu VM.

  Thank you

  Chris

  I think that the problem is as always the VLAN native does not match the settings of the vSwitch. Set it VLAN native to switchport 3-999 or something that you are not using, so all managers are supposed to be labeled the vSwitch, which they will be when you enter the id VLANS 2 and 3 on your groups of ports.

  EDIT: a.p. was right before.

• ESXi - Trunking for Cisco switch

  Hi, I'm having a little trouble to create a trunk to a crowd of v4.1 ESXi.

  My config on the switch

  interface GigabitEthernet3/29
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 100 300
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport nonegotiate
  spanning tree portfast trunk

  ESXi side VLAN ID has been set to all (4095) - side switch and host configurations is passed to the host of vCentre.

  Defining the interface of switching on an access on VLAN100 port, the host will stand fine. Problem is that I need another network to be consulted (VLAN300)

  interface GigabitEthernet3/29
  switchport access vlan 100
  switchport mode access
  spanning tree portfast
  end

  I am able to allow a second card on the host computer and the whole upward like a trunk as above, seems to work fine, even if I don't have a virtual machine upwards on it yet to test

  *

  My query is, how can we allow multiple VLANs to an ESXi host on a single card? What I'm missing here...

  Thanks in adavance.

  Brendan

  For me, looks like the vmkernel interface used for the management network is not be marked, as the host responds when you define the physical switch as an access port port in the VLAN 100. So either mark the vmkernel with VLAN ID 100 port or VLAN 100 native VLAN on the switchport physical... (switchport trunk vlan 100 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

  Hi Daniel,.

  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.
