VLANs from a Vswitch config Teamed PortI configured a VM guest to a VLAN on the Vswitch. How do i go about configuring the 4 teamed port off the host into a vlan within the 4500 switch ports? |

oh, duh.... I need to just trunk it.
So I just need to trunk 4 ports on the cisco, then trunk the Vswitch. |

Trunk or portchannel? Don't you love company a that just calls it a shovel and company b that calls it a ground insertion management device?

VLAN trunk vs. Ethernet trunk vs. car trunk vs. elephant trunk... In the Cisco world "trunk" refers to vlans. channel-group or portchannel is an ethernet trunk (aka. LAG) Last I looked, VMware didn't do LAG, only redundancy. (I've not looked at what's new for ESX 4.1 -- it's been sitting here for months...) |

vSphere doesnt really need to do etherchannel. It can do active/active loadsharing across multiple 10g nics. Tagging (as in 802.1q trunking) to every vmware port should be standard procedure for any network guys. As those individual end vsphere infrastructure devices get bigger (think UCS big) the access layer really becomes a thing of the past. Virtual datacenters for the win. |
