Next, we need to define port groups that will be used to connect our virtual machines:
|
Name |
vSwitch |
VLAN ID |
Notes |
|
Internal management |
vSwitch1 |
0 |
|
|
Internal management—vmk |
vSwitch1 |
0 |
For vmk1 |
|
vMotion |
vSwitch2 |
0 |
|
|
iSCSI |
vSwitch3 |
0 |
|
|
Production |
vSwitch4 |
4095 |
ESG trunking must be enabled with VLAN 4095 |
On the Master ESXi level, we need one additional VMkernel port that will be used for management from our management station:
|
Name |
Port group |
IP address |
Services |
|
vmk1 |
Internal management—vmk |
172.16.1.253 |
