Dear Experts, we are using Vsphere 6.5 and there is only 1 VLAN for all VMs. Now we'd like to add more VLAN into the ESXi hosts. How can we do that? Many thanks!
Environment:
- SAN storage HP MSA2040
- ESXi 6.5 Host: HP Gen9 server
- Core switch Cisco 3750
ESXi host --------------- vlan 55 -------------- Core switch
As my understanding, you are suggesting us to add 1 more trunk cable like this, am I right?
ESXi host --------------- vlan 55 -------------- Core switch
ESXi host --------------- Trunk (vlan 15,25,35,...) -------------- Core switch
In case I change the settings lile Omar's advise, is it right?
ESXi host --------------- Trunk (vlan 15,25,35,55,...) -------------- Core switch
If we add a port group of VLAN 15 and connection is remain in VLAN55, is it ok with the VM in VLAN55? If we configure the interface (on Switch side) from access mode vlan 55 to Trunk mode, does it affect the VMs? Do we need to change anything in ESXi host?
