Hi All,
Looking for some help with understanding . I dont have access to a lab at the moment to test unfortunately.
I have:
-A cluster of 4 ESXi Servers and VCSA. Both 6.5
-Ent+
-Shared Storage all configured
-Management and vMotion networks configured
- A single Physical Switch just serving Management and vMotion traffic
Now I want to try and create 3 Test environments within this setup. A test environment consists of a number of VMs across 5 networks. But the networks across all test environments need to run the same IP address space, so for example Net1 in each environment will always be 192.168.1.x, Net2 192.168.2.x, Net3 192.168.3.x, Net4 192.168.4.x, Net5 192.168.5.x. Per environment the networks should be only be able to communicate with each other, no cross environment communication should take place.
Is it possible to do this:
- with just dvSwitches/vSwitches
- Possibly with pVLANS?
- A VM per environment possibly to do the routing between the 5 networks of each environment
- Allowing each environment to be spread across the 4 hosts in the cluster, (i.e not restricting myself to having a full environment deployed across its own dedicated ESXi hosts)
- With no NSX
- With no Physical uplinks (just the Management and vMotion uplinks which serve only Management and vMotion networks and not the environment VMs)
I'm not sure if further clarification is required to be able to answer this, but I hope its clear what I'm trying to achieve.
