VLAN Port groups

Similar Questions

• Get the VLAN of a port group

  What is the fastest way PowerCLI, when knowing the name of a virtual machine and that it is on a standard switch, I can find the number of VLAN that the port group it uses is labelled for?

  Try ' Get - VM $VM_Name | Get-VirtualPortGroup | SELECT name, VLanId.

• Power CLI script to add multiple VLANs with port group name in an ESX cluster

  Hi all

  Can someone help me get a script adds several VLANs with port group name in an ESX cluster?

  Kind regards

  OK, so you just need to do an Import-Csv inside the loop and change the variables accordingly.

  What is the provision of this CSV file?

• Need a script to create standard vSwitch with virtual and several computer port group VLAN

  I want to create standard vSwitch for all hosts in the cluster for virtual machine port group and add one or more groups of ports VLAN for the same standard vswitch.

  Kind regards

  Shan

  Try something like this

  $clusterName = "mycluster.

  $nics = "vmnic0", "vmnic1.

  $vlans = 123456789

  foreach ($esx in (Get-Cluster-name $clusterName |)) Get - VMHost)) {}

  $sw = New - VirtualSwitch - name swX - VMHost $esx - Nic $nics - confirm: $false

  $vlans | %{

  New-VirtualPortGroup-name "PG $($_)" - VLanId $_ - VirtualSwitch $sw - confirm: $false

  }

• 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

• Port - group VLAN ID Questions

  Hi guys

  Can I change change the running virtual machine port group?

  in the case where the virtual machine was in a group of Port named test - VLAN ID 100 and I need to change the Port Group deployment VLAN ID 105 which now means my VM will not have access to traffic on vlan 100? It's automatically or I need to change my IP or something?

  and this comes from the frequently asked questions

  Q: a configurable virtual machine on several VLANs?

  A: you can set up a single VLAN ID for each virtual network adapter on a virtual machine. However, since you can config -.

  ERUS up to four virtual cards per virtual machine, you can configure a virtual machine that spans four different VLAN.

  I think I'll need to set up several virtual LANs for some virtual machines. What do mean by "set up a virtual machine that spans four different VLAN".

  Thank you guys

  Yes, you can certainly change the portgroup. But, remember, your new VLAN is configured properly in order to maintain the networking of virtual machine after the change.

  Max on max. position 2-3 drops of ping may occur depending on your use of the network and ESX utlization of resource for the change task.

  Simply go to the settings-> virtual adapter - > select new vlan-> OK

  If you want your traffic to be moved to a different VLAN dynamically, it must be done at the level of the physical switch. Think of the vswitch as a "dummy" switch layer 2, it will follow policies of networking of the physical switch only, sound rather a passage only. Everything depends on the new port (nic) configured to take the new vlan correctly or not.

• Affecting several VLANS to a Port Group

  Hi all!

  We have 2 switches farm of server connections to the host server. Each of our 8 ESX servers has 4 physical network adapters that support virtual machines. We have 2 network cards to each physical switch. We have a single vSwitch and 2 port VM groups set up on each ESX Server. We use and configuration active / standby in Port groups so we can control what physical move the VM speaks to. All 4 network cards are available for the Group of ports, with connections going to spend 1 active and forward to switch connections 2. It is reversed on the other group of Port.

  We have several VLANS associated with our data center. Is it possible to put the tag VLAN on 2 port groups VM to support multiple VLANs? Otherwise, I think we have to put up a pair of these groups of ports for each VIRTUAL local area network, we want to make it available to the virtual machines on each ESX Server. Is this correct? We have some circuits/EtherChannel enabled on switches that work properly. However, we cannot port VM groups to pass traffic unless label them us, and it seems we can only enter a VIRTUAL local area network in the area.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  To use the trunks that are coming in your ESX host, you must have your VLAN Tag somewhere along the way.  If you are not at the level of the switch (since you're trunking), you will need to do the vSwitch, either the level of the virtual machine.

  VSwitch level, this by creating exchanges and then marking at the level of the port group.  Marking that is currently happening in the ESX/vSwitch, and your vm must use the port suitable for group the VLAN they need to use.

  Your last option is to tag at the level of the virtual machine itself.  To do this, your vSwitch must use VLAN 4095 tag, which allows all the VLANS to pass through, and all tags are marked.  The portgroup vSwitch here is basically a tunnel and will allow the unmodified traffic, but now, you have to mark your VLAN of the NETWORK adapter in your virtual machine.  It is very effective if you have a large number of virtual machines.  The most practical method will be to create the VLAN-based exchanges at the vSwitch level and go from there.

  Unlettered, somewhere, communication will not incorrectly, as the physical switch will assume that all traffic not marked will even vlan uses unmarked frames (vlan native), and machines on that vlan can communicate each other.

• Port group

  Hello world

  I'm new to vmware, I have a standard switch and,.

  I have to add a vlan. I have 4 esxi hosts in a cluster.

  I have connected to the vsphere client. I clicked on one of the host (say host1) configuration - networking - add network-connection type machine virtual vswitch1 (which is my standard switch).

  Under the port group properties, I gave VLANID-90.

  It of over or do I need to change more.

  But I don't see what vlan under host 2, 3 and 4.

  Hello

  I'm trying to understand: you try to configure the computer virtual portgroup host1 and see a new portgroup to host 2-3-4?

  Adding a vlan in virtual switch means add a machine virtual portgroup, and these steps must be made to achieve this:

  1. Add vlan physical switch (and the junction ports that are connected to the host)

  2.1 if you have a distributed vSwitch, simply add a portgroup distributed with the id vlan correct (the configuration is split at the host that are connected to this virtual switch)

  2.2 If you have a Standard switch you must create a group of ports of std in vSwitch for each host that is to be connected (this is your case)

  2.3 If you have a standard switch and you want to do this in a single "action", you must use a powershell script

  Hope this might be helpful...

• 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).

• VMKernel port group

  Here is the configuration of the network of one of our hosts ESX 4.1:

  (1) the virtual computer network

  (2) Service with 1 IP console

  (3) VMKernel with 1 IP for vMotion and iSCSI, called as VMKernel_iSCI

  I can see there are 4 NICs attached to this host.

  Now, I just know, that same using iSCSI and vMotion VMKernel is not a good practice.

  question 1

  So I would like to know how is the mapping of the ESX host's network. Is this;

  1 NETWORK card = 1 VM Network

  1 NETWORK card = 1 Service Console

  1 card NETWORK = 1 which is currently used for iscsi and vmotion VMKernel port group

  In a standard switch, there are 2 network cards configured.

  2nd question

  I want to delete 1 port VMKernal vmotion (VMKernel_iSCI) and create a dedicated for vmotion.

  I know that I have will require another IP address, but what of NIC, it will be;

  1 NETWORK card = VMKernel_iSCSI

  1 NETWORK card = VMKernel_vMotion

  Please explain.

  Thank you

  Mihir

  From a pure technical point of view, it will work, as long as your network is configured properly (i.e. taking advantage of VLAN and the separate subnets on management, vMotion and iSCSI). However, I am worried about the bandwidth and quarrels with such a configuration.

  BTW. except if you've already seen it, I would recommend that you take a look at http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/virtual_networking_concepts.pdf

• 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.

• Add the new port group to dSwitch

  Hello

  Given that I have never done this and this prod, as I decided to ask first ;-)

  In ESXi 4.1 using a dSwitch, if I add a NEW port group using a VLAN that is not in use (on this dSwitch), that will force any failure to migrate it virtual machines on this dSwitch?

  Adding this new group of port causes the dSwitch "reset" in a manner that will cause the failure?

  You should be able to add, modify and/or delete groups of ports without affecting other groups/VMs port connected to other port groups. Just follow the steps in http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1010593

• virtual machines without port group

  You can manage the virtual machine without having to configure the virtual machine port group?

  The virtual machine port group, it's how the virtual machine connects to a network then Yes, that it is necessary if you want to have your VM to communicate on your network computers tother / with who in minde not you won't be able to manage the virtual machine through the VLAN withour groups of ports VM

• Performance of VM on VLAN1 port group.

  Hi all

  I have a group of ports on LAN VIRTUAL multi configuration that works very well. However, I created a new group of port VLAN1, but any virtual computer that uses this port group can't see the network.

  In windows the poster card connected, but I can not ping to or from the virtual machine. I have turned off windows firewall the cause.

  I assured the Group of ports is configured correctly and that the IP address of the virtual machine is correct. I read something on the VLAN native, but I'm not an expert in network so am at a loss.

  We use cat6 cisco switches and all ports are attached to the trunk.

  Anyone can shed some light on this?

  Mike.

  Hi, the VLAN1 is the VLAN native for switches?

  If this the case, in the port group configuration, do not configure the ID number vlan, or simply put 0.

  If you do not know the vlan native, try to put 0 for the VLAN ID in the configuration of port group.

• Service Console port group

  I have a test box that I started to use a VLan tagging with. Unfortunately, I forgot to place the service console port group. Is there a way to change the port group to service the console kvm CLI console?

  You can define a VLAN with command portgroup esxcfg-vswitch-p - v vlanid
