Step Description Configuration commands
1 Set up ESX Server (see the
“Redundant NIC configuration”
section in this article)
2 Set to general mode all internal
ports on the PowerConnect 5316M
switch connected to NIC 0 and
NIC 1 of the server blades.
Configure the ports’ VLAN
membership to be 11 and the
PVID to be 10. Use this
configuration on both switches.
3 Set external port 11, which is a
member of VLAN 11 (VMotion), to
general mode and set the PVID
to 11. Use this configuration on
both switches.
4 Set external port 12, which is a
member of VLAN 10, to general
mode and set the PVID to 10. Use
this configuration on both switches.
5a Option 1: Configure the remaining
external ports for specific VLANs to
isolate specific VM traffic. For
example, if a VM from blade 1
should have a VLAN ID of 12 and
use only port 13, then use the
commands shown in this row. Use
this configuration on both switches.
5b Option 2: Assuming the same
example scenario as described in
step 5a, if port 13 is connected to
VLAN-unaware devices, use the
commands shown in this row. This
allows untagged traffic on port 13
to be tagged with VLAN 12 (for
VMs). Tagged traffic for VLAN 12
is allowed but other tagged traffic
is discarded. Use this configuration
on both switches.
