asked on

redundancy of management network for ESXi 4.1

I have a vmware setup with ESXi 4.1. I would like to make sure that I have the setup correct for the management ports and see if there is maybe a better way to do it.

I have one vmkernel port that is allowed to use management. It has 2 seperate nics connected with etherchannel spilt up on a stacked switch.  

Is this a good way to do this for redundancy for the management network? Or should there be a seperate subnet that should be setup for management?

The VM hosts management IPs are on seperate subnets, to prevent access to them except from the Vcenter server and a management VPN.
