Yeah, I understand that they have things different. I just can't get them to seem to work. I created some virtual switches, connected to a particular network interface, and running on a particular VLAN. I would think that putting another computer on that same vSwitch would mean that the two could communicate and they do appear to communicate, somewhat, just not completely ??? This would work in my failover scenario because the managed switch that all the nodes are plugged into would all have their vSwitches configured the same, using the same VLANs to separate data and the managed switch they are plugged into would have those VLANs configured so it could pass data from one host to another on any VLAN if necessary.
