Scenario 3:2 - Flex-10 with Multi-Enclosure stacking - VLAN Tagging (802.1Q) with Multiple Shared Uplink Sets (SUS) - VMware
ESX - (4 Enclosures) 201
VMWARE ESX Host Networking configuration Example
When configuring the ESX virtual switch, add virtual networks for each VLAN this ESX host will support.
Figure 3-33
Configuring the ESX vSwitch for Multiple Networks / VLANs.
Note:
That vSwitch 3 has two NICs configured to, redundantly, support VLANs 103, 104 and 105.
Note:
If implementing ESX 3.5 on Flex-10, first review VMWARE KB 1007982 and ensure Network
Failure Detection is set to Beacon Probing.
Note:
If implementing ESX 4.0 on Flex-10 ensure that ESX driver version 1.52 is installed, also ensure
that NIC firmware 5.2.7 is also installed.
When configuring the guest NIC simply chose which VLAN this guest will reside on.
