M5 Virtual Networks
Distributed Switches
Benefit
- simplifies data center administration.
- configuration is consistent across all the hosts
- behavior is consistent with the behavior of standard switches.
- advanced features, such as private VLANs, NetFlow, and port mirroring.
- enables networking statistics and policies to migrate with virtual machines during a vMotion
- allows customization and third-party development.
-
-
-
-
- Physical switch configuration support for 802.3ad, for NIC teaming
- Physical switch configuration support for 802.1Q, for VLAN tagging
-
-
Migration
Connect virtual machines to a distributed switch either by configuring an individual virtual machine NIC or by migrating groups of virtual machines from the distributed switch
Port binding
-
Dynamic
Assign a port to a virtual machine the first time that the virtual machine powers on after it is connected to the distributed port group.

-
Take appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the management and system traffic in your vSphere environment. For example, isolate the vSphere vMotion traffic in a separate network that includes only the ESXi hosts that participate in the migration.
Default TCP/IP stack
traffic between vCenter Server and ESXi hosts and for system traffic such as vSphere vMotion, IP storage, and vSphere Fault Tolerance

Standard Switches
When you are designing your networking environment, VMware vSphere® enables you to place all your networks on a single virtual switch. Or you can opt for multiple virtual switches, each with a separate network. The decision partly depends on the layout of your physical networks. For example, you might not have enough network adapters to create a separate virtual switch for each network. Instead, you might team your network adapters in a single virtual switch and isolate the networks by using VLANs.
for single host
enables virtual machines in a single ESXi host to communicate directly with other virtual machines connected to the same standard switch.
-
A good practice is to remove the VM Network virtual machine port group and keep virtual machine networks and management networks separated for performance and security reasons.
