View ArticleRe: vDS vs Nexus 1000v
it all depends on the features you are looking for, nexus 1k is advanced switch, although they are now almost feature parity. Are you looking for specific feature? and what you are currently using?

I don't know that much about the advanced switch stuff in the nexus. I can set it up and get it to work.my thing was better visibility into the switch to see how much traffic is going across the vNICs...

I'm the biggest 1000v fan there is, but TBH I think it's days are numbered. They are really fun to support and have a high geek factor, but when push comes to shove the new features are all in VMware...

By all means, if you are interested in using the 1000v you will get years of enjoyment out of it. It supports the latest vSphere release (5.5 at the time of this writing) and will continue to be...

Not sure if you're aware, but the VDS supports NetFlow (specifically IPFIX) on a per-port group level, and also TX/RX traffic counters on a per-dvPort level.

1 - create a vSwitch;2 - put your physical NICs on this vSwitch;3 - create Port Groups on this vSwitch (one port group for each VLAN);4 - when creating the VM, select the Port Group based on the VLAN...
View ArticleRe: n00b alert! 1 pNIC, multiple vNICs - how does that work?!
Thank you, that is helpful....but how do I know which pNIC each VM is going to end up using? Does it even matter? They're all shared by the vSwitch.
View ArticleRe: n00b alert! 1 pNIC, multiple vNICs - how does that work?!
When you put more than one physical NIC on the vSwitch the NIC teaming policy will handle the traffic from virtual network across the physical NICs, and you can read more about on the follow link: NIC...

Just to close this very old thread, the problem was with the Fortigate firewall in Active/Active configuration and for some reason flooding the switch core.

The 2 ESX VMs are on the same physical ESX. There are using standard switch. The only problem is that the guest machines cannot reach machines outside its ESX.
