Vmware Ports Security and Performance
If I will have to think about performance and security regarding :
- VM Network : Host to Host Communication including VMHA, and Host to Vcenter communication
- Vmtion traffic
- Storage traffic
Having 2 x10GB physical Nics, will this allow us to separate traffic for security and performance purposes? if so , please explain how to separate traffic and which traffic should never go the same way with other traffic?
I have also heard of system traffic and user traffic.
if I understand System traffic is the same traffic I indicated above, however user traffic is the way workstations get into the VMs, the only way I know is through the Network switch that connects to the SAN….I could be wrong. Please explain
Thanks

That's correct, but you will have to ensure you configure and build you network design correctly.

<<User Traffic is known as Virtual Machine Network Traffic.>>
is it how VMs talk to each other
OR how ESX hosts talk to VMs and vice-versa
OR how physical workstations in the office talk to VMs and back

All of the above, is correct, via Virtual Machine network.

<<which traffic should never go the same way with other traffic?>>
if we consider the following types of traffic:
- Management Network : Host to Host Communication including VMHA, and Host to Vcenter communication
-VM Network
- Vmotion traffic
- Storage traffic

I also am not sure if the communication between Vcenter and VMs is part VM Network or Management Network

Thank you!

So, for instance , I can create vmkernel for vmtion and another vmkernel for VMHA and assign them to the same physical NIC (10GB), but to 2 different Vlans ...
