Home lab under single ESXi servers networking question ?

People,

I've got old HP DL 360 G7 servers which I install ESXi 5.5U3 server running multiple different VM with direct access to the internet through ADSL modem

vSwitch 1 (default) - VM Network label - 192.168.1.0/24
I already deployed 10x VMs with the same subnet as the ADSL router.

vSwitch 2 (default) - VM Network 2 label - 10.1.1.0/24
So how do I deploy another 10x VM with different subnet like above and get it to talk / route between custom subnet to the internet subnet on vSwitch 1 (default) - VM Network label - 192.168.1.0/24

Thanks,

Yes,

vSwitch 1 (default) - VM Network label - 192.168.1.0/24
connect with the uplinks to the ADSL modem/router

vSwitch 2 (default) - VM Network 2 label - 10.1.1.0/24
no uplinks.

So I guess I will need to download the Vyos appliance and then route them using 2x vNIC connected to each VM network ?

Hm.. interesting, it seems VMware also got similar technology the paid appliance called VMware NSX https://pubs.vmware.com/NSX-6/index.jsp#com.vmware.nsx.admin.doc/GUID-10944155-28FF-46AA-AF56-7357E2F20AF4.html

Is that correct Andrew ?

Hi Andrew I posted another follow up question

Which one do you think is better suited for virtual exchange server 2013/2016 running on VMWare ESXi ?
