Navigate to the blade that the VLAN is required on (Home -> Inventory -> Hosts and Clusters).
VMWARE 6.0 CREATE VLAN GROUP STANDARD SWITCH HOW TO
Following link describes how to do this in UCSM.Īssigning Ports and Port Channels to VLANsįollow these steps to add VLAN on VMware:Ī) Open vSphere Client and connect to the VCENTER server. In Disjoint L2 setup it is important to tag correct vlans to correct uplink ports. Note that if using pin groups, you are taking care only of the first situation and not the second one. This happens because either the VM is pinned to wrong uplink, which blackholes all the VM traffic or the designated receiver for the vlan is chosen on wrong uplink, which presents issues with broadcast and multicast (eg ARP discovery). In case of disjoint L2 setup, since upstream switches are not carrying all vlans, the default UCS behavior breaks connectivity for some hosts/VMs depending on pinning.

H) Switch to the servers tab in the Navigation Pane and expand the Service Profiles and the root node, the service profiles for each Chassis/Blade should be visible. G) In the window that opens add the new VLAN. Expand the vNIC Templates branch of the navigation pane (LAN -> Policies -> root -> vNIC Templates) and select the template which should have the VLAN available.į) On the General tab for each Template click Modify VLANs. Enter the VLAN ID(s), then press the Check Overlap button to ensure there is no conflict with existing configuration and if unique, press OK.ĭ) Check that the newly created VLAN appears in the list of configured VLANs in the navigation pane.Į) If the platform is using vNIC templates then the next step is to add the created VLAN to the required templates. For most situations the Common/Global radio button should be selected to ensure the same configuration is applied to both Fabrics. Right click on the VLANs branch and select Create VLAN(s).Ĭ) Provide a meaningful name for the VLAN, this name can not be changed once saved. In the Navigation pane on the left of the application, select the LAN tab.ī) Expand the navigation tree so that the VLANs branch is visible. The same applies in the VMWare environment.įollow the steps to configure VLAN on UCS:Ī) Open UCS manager. Note that the name of a VLAN is known only within the UCS environment, and outside of the UCS the VLAN is represented by the unique ID.ĭepending on how the UCS infrastructure is configured, VLAN availability for physical hosts may have to be configured on either a port group or individual host basis. You can also create more than one named VLANs with the same VLAN ID.
VMWARE 6.0 CREATE VLAN GROUP STANDARD SWITCH UPDATE
The name that you assign to a VLAN ID adds a layer of abstraction that allows you to globally update all servers associated with service profiles that use the named VLAN. The VLAN ID is a number that represents that particular VLAN. In UCS each VLAN is identified by a unique ID.

This document shows steps required to add VLANs to both UCS and VMware.
