+ | Above we can see the following: | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | There are two virtual switches (vSwitch0 is created by default)\\ | ||
+ | vSwitch0\\ | ||
+ | DATA SW\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | vSwitch0 is associated with the physical interface vmnic0\\ | ||
+ | vSwitch DATA SW is associated with the physical interface vmnic7\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | vSwitch0 contains a Port Group called VM Network (created by default) | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | MFEL_7\\ | ||
+ | MFP_7\\ | ||
+ | Origin\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | vSwitch DATA SW contains the following Port Groups | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | IPSource\\ | ||
+ | MFEL2PKG\\ | ||
+ | PKG2Origin\\ | ||
+ | IPOut\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Each of these Port Groups contains a data interface from each VM. | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | Below we can see the page in VMWare that is used to configure the VM options. | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | {{ :: | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | There are three Network Adapters that have been added to each VM (this is for the MFEL VM). Each network has then been assigned to a Port Group (so you need to create your Port Groups and Switches before your VMs). | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | For example Network Adapter 2 is assigned to Port Group MFEL2PKG. We know the Port Group MFEL2PGK is assigned to vSwitch DATA SW, and that vSwitch DATA SW is assigned to physical interface vmnic7. So any traffic to or from this port will be via the vmnic7 physical port. | ||

+ | Below is a visualisation of the relationship between Physical Interfaces, vSwitches, Port Groups and Virtual Machines. | ||
