Creating virtual switches and port groups in ESXi

This video covers how to install virtual switches and port groups in ESXi. Please note that this is for a standalone ESXi install, not one that is managed by vCenter Server. The switch that is created is a standard virtual switch, not a distributed virtual switch.

  • I have a problem where I can't set my vm with static IP address, when I do, I got an error no network connection, i am using the same range with host IP, but I can't ping my host from the VM. Please help

  • Thanks David, very informative video.
    My question is, I'm trying to isolate one VM from the all other MVs on the host and from the internal LAN, I want it to be connected only to the internet.
    The host has 2 ports and both are connected to the same physical LAN switch, how to do the complete isolation?
    BR.

  • Good Man! Thanks for the brilliant explanation

  • I dont know why but i followed the exact same steps & when i tried to change a VM network adapter to a port group in another vSwitch i dont see them , on the default VM network one

  • Can vm connect to internet with this way ? Or we need 1 more nic for internet ?

  • Hey, @7:18 in the video where you go to the virtual machines network adapter settings… You click on the drop down to change to different port group. When I try that on my VM, it only shows drop down for default port group thats created even though I created another port group and assigned that to my other vswitch i created and has its own uplink. I'm trying to separate management traffic from vm traffic.

  • Hello david thanks for the video do you have separate playlist for vmware vsphere
