Hi,

It is not mandatory to use single dedicated vlan in a multi zone environment. 
It is possible to have a dedicated VLAN at each site for vCenter, ESXi console 
ports and the system VM's, and then have the ACS server sitting in a separate 
VLAN that can route between both networks.

Thanks,
Sanjeev

Subject: ACS 4.2.1 - Multi-Zone vSphere Architecture

Hi all,

Im after some guidance on setting up ACS 4.2.1 with vSphere in a multi zone 
environment. The only way I have been able to successfully build a zone to this 
point is by having vSphere, ESXi console ports, ACS and the reserved system 
range on a single VLAN. This is OK for a small, single site deployment but how 
does this translate for multiple zones? The docs suggest that configuring a 
single /20 range for management is desired, does that imply that that range 
should be stretched across sites?

Should it be possible to have a dedicated VLAN at each site for vCenter, ESXi 
console ports and the system VM's, and then have the ACS server sitting in a 
separate VLAN that can route between both networks? I have been unsuccessful in 
getting his working to date so hopefully someone out there has some experience 
setting up a multi-site ACS/vSphere envoronment.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
