Hello,
we need a separate broadcast domain in our local network. To do so I need to have a dedicated network interface on my Windows Server 2016 DHCP-Server.
Not sure which way is best to realize it. My idea is to add a new portgroup to my existing vSwitch and then add a free network interface to the portgroup.
VLAN ID is 100. When configuring VLAN ID, VLAN is tagged or untagged?
Kind regards,
Roland
If it's tagged on the physical switch, you need to put VLAN there.
If it's tagged on the physical switch, you need to put VLAN there.
VLAN ID = none means untagged
VLAN ID = All (4095) means tagged (all VLAN IDs allowed)
is this correct?
kind regards,
Roland
a last question: my vSwitch0 has 3 port groups
can I add a physical network interface to a single port group within the same vSwitch?
As far as I see all connected physical network interfaces are connected to all port groups (same vSwitch).
kind regards,
Roland
Hi rschmid,
Yes you can assign a physical network interface to a single port group within a vSwitch, but prior to do that you have to make sure that NIC is available to the vSwitch.
Then just go to the "Edit settings" menu of the port group and then in "Teaming and failover" you can select the vmnic required as "active, standby or unused".
In your case you will have just one vmnic as Active.
Hope that helps.
