ESXi network configurationįrom the Network diagram above, I will be using ESXi-A to start my initial configuration of the whole virtual environment, after a vanilla installation. If you ever get confused with the VMware network terminology such as physical adapters, VMkernel adapters, and virtual switch… here you have, (you are welcome ), just follow the paths. Several things will change for any other solution and not everything here is a must.įull network diagram. So, this is MY network design, use it as an example but you should create yours based on your needs and resources. Use two different ranges for each physical adapter. The router, of course, could be physical, but the idea is to take advantage of virtualization.įor the storage network, use any IP with direct access to the storage to be used. The desktops IP range will start at 10.0.0.101.Īlso, I’ll be using a virtual router (Pfsense) to provide IP addresses and VPN for remote access to the environments, but the domain controller will be the one providing DHCP and DNS services for all the other network elements and for the provisioning of desktops pools. The rest of the IP address range will be used for the virtual desktops. I am sizing a DHCP network for over 1,000 hosts, and I exclude the first 100 IP address and reserve them for ESXi servers, Infrastructure, Login VSI launchers and another network elements.
