Hi,
I want to create a "Distributed Port Group" with "VLAN trunking" as VLAN type with a range of IDs (e.g. 160-200,300,400) and a different native VLAN for untagged IP packages.
I think on a "normal" portgroup you can only choose between 0 (no vlan tagging), 4095 (VGT) or ONE VLAN id (e.g. 100) - but do not mix with VLAN tag 100 for native VLAN/untagged IP packages + VLAN 101-199.
This is required because my native VLAN has a different ID on the network card (physical switch) than required on the port group:
Each VM in Distributed Port Group 1 therefore starts without VLAN tagging and gets a VLAN tag 100 and starts in VLAN 100 and not in the native NIC VLAN 1 from the pyhsical switch.
I've read several kb or community sites (e.g.):
but I can't find any documentation on it. Any ideas how I can configure this?
Thnx & Regards
Jochen
I am still trying to configure my dvswitch portgroups with a native VLAN.
Two years later, and version 8 now, I still do not know how.
Anybody here who is working with something like this too?
Thnx & Regards
Jochen
Can you elaborate more , what you want to achieve by configuring this , or do you want to know how to configure it
Hi Rajeev,
I want to how I can implement this in my unatteded configuration scripts - but first I have to know if this is now possible or how I can configure this (maybe with the vi client gui).
I've searched many time before: "How to configure VLANs on a portgroup and configure possible/allowed tagged VLANs and the "nativ" / untagged VLAN for that portgroup"
The reason why I need this, is that on that portgroup all untagged (e.g. OS not supporting VLAN tagging) traffic should on a special VLAN not on the environment nativ VLAN 0.
Regards
Jochen
