Simulate VMware ESXI connect to Cisco switch via VLAn access mode and External Switch VLAN Tagging
This video is about simulation on how to configure a VMware esxi 7.0 to connect to a physical switch via VLAn access mode and External Switch VLAN Tagging on GNS3.
To accomplish this simulation,
I first installed and configured Windows 2016 Network Operating System as a domain controller, DNS and DHCP server,
configured two ESXI 7.0 host with Vcenter server appliance and 3 Tiny linux virtual machines each on a different subnet,
configured two Cisco layer 2 switches with VLANs, switchporrt mode access and trunks ,
connected and configured 3 Ubuntu virtual machines each on different VLAN ports, ip addresses and gateways,
and then configured “router on a stick” for virtual machines on different Vlans to communicate.
