I might not be following this correctly, but it sounds similar to something we had at one point. We only had two physical network cards in our ESXi server. We had three virtual switches configured. vSwitch0 was connected to vmnic0 (physical nic) vSwitch1 was connected to vmnic1 (physical nic) and vSwitch2 had no physical nic. vmnic0 was connected to our LAN and vmnic1 was connected into one of the DMZ ports on our edge switch, so in was basically " on the Internet" so to speak. vSwitch2 (which has no physical network) had a VM that had a virtual network card connected to vSwitch0 and vSwitch2. This VM was setup as a Linux router and routed traffic into and out of that virtual switch. I hope you're able to follow that. In the end, we were able to route traffic into and out of a virtual switch that had no physical connection to any real network by building a virtual machine with two network interfaces and using it as a router. Again, hopefully this makes some sense, and might be helpful. I wouldn't mind providing simple diagrams or the like if you need, or even a screen shot of vSphere or what not. -jonathan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
