Virtual Machines and VLANs
I have a Virtual ESXI server on a specific subnet and Vlan - I built 2 virual servers one is on the same subnet and vlan the other Virtual Server is not. How does on handle the seperate VLANS and subnets on a virual box? Everything is on the same port on the switch. What does one do?
You can tag ports for specific vlans in the vSwitch. You can also configure a trunk within a port group to pass VLAN traffic just like you would to a physical switch - http://wahlnetwork.com/2012/05/07/its-a-trunk-using-portgroup-vlans-with-vsphere/

OK so basically this has to be done on the switch. We unfortunately have HP switches not Cisco but I'm sure the same applies.

I understand how to create the virtual adapter. Should I use the existing switch or create a new on. My goal is to take that one server and put it on another VLAN
ASKER
Actually I think I got it! Whew. I used the existing switch added the VLAN in there and attached it to the VM I wanted it on. I now have the internet back.
Excellent, any issues, post back...
