Could someone please explain what a trunk port does in Cisco IOS? - Page 2

I really gotta think of ways to have a DMZ network on the same hosts as other non-DMZ guests while keeping everything secured. We're moving everything to a UCS blade chassis soon, I'll be using distributed vSwitches, so the networks will all have to be the same between hosts.

If your company can afford it, the Cisco V switch even complies to our security guys stingyness. He's read the docs on that and said id our boss buys that v switch then we can put DMZ hosts on the same boxes as internal.

You mean the Nexus 1000V switch? I'm not sure that that's useful at all with a UCS setup. The 6120XP fabric interconnects do a lot of the same things; I'm thinking that the policy-based VM connectivity provided by UCS Manager + VMware Distributed vSwitch + VMware vShield Zones should achieve similar results with a careful design.

If anybody was still wondering, I figured that when you use trunk ports with a ESXi host, you must use the VID setting in vSphere or it won't know what the hell to do with those trunk ports smile.gif
