Can anyone with ESXi experience suggest if this is the best way to go config wise?
We have a single Internet connection. Our ESXi licence does not include Enterprise licence so vSwitches do NOT span cluster members.
Wishing to have high availability, we have a 3 host member ESXi cluster.
On one of the cluster members is ASG vm.
Physical network wise, we have the Internet Ethernet cable enter a physical switch, from that we have 3 cables, one going to each cluster member to a NIC on the ESXi clusters, this NIC is bound to a vSwitch named Internet. The ASG red interface has a vNIC in this vSwitch.
In theory, if I move the ASG from one host to another using migrate or vmotion, it should still connect to the physical switch and Internet.
What concerns me is the physical switch picking up this change (ie port sensing the VM is now transmitting on a different switch port and so on).
Does anyone have experience with this? Best practice? Guessing the 4 physical switch ports should be on separate vlan.
