Understanding VMware Virtual Switches.. Explanations of VLANS, Teaming and More..



This is a multi-part series for those of you that want to learn VMware vSphere. In this video we will examine the Different types of VMware Virtaul Switches, both Standard and Distributed. We will also explain the three different VLANNing options we have. VST, VGT, EST.
It won’t be complete until we take a look at the various NIC Teaming polices and high availability option we have. We will wrap things up with a demo on creating various Virtual Switches..

Enjoy the series and leave comments

  1. This is BY FAR the best instructional video I have ever seen on VMware networking (virtual switches, VLANs, etc.). I really learned a great deal. I've been using VMware for 4 years and I've always been confused about the networking aspect; until now. I like how you explained almost every single feature or setting, and the diagrams really helped (visual is usually better for learning). I can't wait to learn more!

  2. Hi, great video, thanks!

    Is it possible to migrate from a standard switch to a distributed switch using only one NIC card? I am concerned about losing connectivity during the move from standard to distributed switch or even if this is possible!

    [Edit] I got it to work. I was able to use the "add host" wizard to add all my hosts except the host with VC VM. But, I was able to migrate the VC VM to another host (that was already with the new DVS + uplink) and then add the host successfully. All ok, now 🙂

  3. Thank for video, i have question, now i have 1 server install esxi and 3 vm machine on esxi, 1 physical switch create vlan 50 and port trunk on switch, on esxi creat vswitch with vlan id 50 connect to port trunk on physical switch – vm machine on esxi can ping outside with ip range vlan50, but vm machine can not connect internet
    That why, may i config corect?
    Thanks

  4. I have pfsense as a vm using VGT -> VLAN ID:4095 (all tags)
    In an effort to make sure the pfsense VM is the only one receiving all the vlan tags first:
    -I created an extra port group with VLAN ID: 0 where I added my windows and linux endpoints
    -subsequently I can add different port groups for specific Vlan tags (VLAN ID: x)

  5. Does the LACP hashing algorithm have to match between distributed switch and physical switch?
    I have a Juniper EX4300 switch and it does hashing based on mac/ip/tcp-port all together and doesn’t allow to change the hashing algorithm.

  6. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I certainly learned a lot and you earned my sub. As a new Sub, might I suggest 1080p or better quality for your videos? 720p was pretty grainy and hard on the eyes. Look forward to the next one! Thanks again!

  7. The is just the video I was looking for, lots of explanation, use cases and real-world examples. Thanks for taking the time! You cannot create a video like this without a full understanding of the material! You are on a different level.

  8. I have 1 esxi with 1 nic, but I would like to create 2 virtual switch each with a different ip address range, can you make a video to show how to do?

  9. Thank u very,🙏 clear explanation.. keep your support please upload mor concepts like patch update..,vcenter migration, snapshot,build, commission, decommissioning..etc thanks for your support.
