ESX 3.5 basic networking

Asked by juggernaughty in VMware

Tags: , ,

Experts,

I have an HP ML350 G5 that I am using out of my home office as a test lab using ESX 3.0. I am fairly green with ESX technology at this point. I will be rebuilding the server using ESX 3.5 and I want to do it right this time.

My questions are pertaining to the networking setup upon initial installation:

1. What is the "local domain" option for? Is this just my internal DNS domain? If so, can I still make it a part of the domain if in fact the DNS server is a VM of the ESX host?

2. Should my ESX server be on the same VLAN as all the VMs? The server is multihomed so I could move them to another NIC.

3. Basically, is there any intro to ESX networking guide you can point me to?

Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
