thanks for your reply mate, &quot;then you would bridge it with a VM that is configured to route traffic and it's IP address in vSwitch0&quot; --&gt; so I must create a VM that have 2 vNIC and assign each Network Label on each vNIC as multihomed VM ?

Hi,<br />
<br />
Just would like to know some basic question regarding configuring my singlebox ESX host with multiple vswitch and two pNIC,<br />
<br />
what's the definition or usage of Network Label and Port ID ? for VLAN yes I know what it is use for.<br />
<br />
my goal here is to <br />
<br />
1. create multiple vSwitch with many 4 VMs each on both vswitch and have it communicate between vswitch1 and vswitch0 somehow doesn't happening ? do I need to plug pNIC2 into the switch so the communication can/must travel through the networking cable back into my ESX?<br />
<br />
2. how to force all Vmthe traffic in one vswitch to go into one VM that is running as router VM and then talk to the other vswitch router VM ? is it possible ?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Basic VMware networking quick question

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Network Operations

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
