The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Trouble setting up networking on ESX 2.5

Asked by Fluid_Imagery in VMware

Tags: VMWare, ESX, 2.5

Hello all -
Another question for you experts.  Anyway I had a spare server that we bought for testing and I figured what better way to use this server then load up ESX Server.  So its a Dell Poweredge 2650 with dual network cards.  Both are plugged into a switch, which is plugged into our firewall unit.

What I would like to do is keep the ESX server out of the current network.  Our network is 192.168.1.x, the client network is 192.168.2.x (running off the DMZ port on firewall).

My goal is to have the IP of hte ESX Server as 192.168.1.50, and then have all the machines I load into the ESX be on a 192.168.3.x network so I can test without affecting other things.

I think one problem I am having is that only one network card is being detected.  If i log into the ESX and go to Networking under Physical Adapters only one is listed as Outbound Adapter 0.  I created a virtual switch(network1) and bound it to the OUtbound Adapter 0.

The guest OS (SBS2003) grabs an ip (192.168.1.114) which I dont want.

So how do I go about creating a Virtual Switch and VLAN so that all the guest operating systems get a 192.168.3.x ip and are not on the 192.168.1.x network?

Is it a problem that in the ESX Configuration that only one Physical Adapter is listed?  Shouldn't there be 2 adapters?  I would have figured 1 would have been for managing or the console of ESX which would be the 192.168.1.15.  And then the 2nd network would be for the virtual OS and I would be able to configure that to be on a VLAN of 192.168.3.x but still send traffic and internet through the other one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
