In order to make the “sites” internet accessible as well as route traffic between sites we need a router… a virtual router to be exact. Also your VM’s would not be able to talk to the internet either… clearly a problem if you want to activate them, or download updates, etc etc. ![]() If we were to spin up a VM and put its network adapter in Chicago and one in New York, they would not be able to talk to each other because there is no physical or virtual connection out of that vSwitch. So to plan this out we are going to associate “New York” with a subnet… in my case I picked 192.168.10.0/24. Eventually you have something that looks like this… Do this as many more times as you need sites. Click ‘Finish’, and we now have our first site. On the next screen you will need to name the vSwitch, you can make it whatever you want… you can also change this later, but to make it simple I am naming mine the “City” that they represent. We do now want a physical NIC on this vSwitch so un-check anything that is checked and press ‘Next’. On the next screen you are asked to select a physical network adapter to associate with this new vSwitch. On the first screen select “Virtual Machine” as the connection type then press ‘Next’. So what we will want to do is click “Add Networking” in the top right corner. ![]() You will find that you have a single vSwitch0 listed which will probably have just the standard vmk0 interface. After installing the hypervisor we will want to go ahead and configure it as we normally would, so go ahead and give it a static IP, a password, and configure your storage and other required stuff so that we can run VM’s.Īfter all the setup stuff is complete you will want to go to the configuration tab, and navigate down to the networking section over on the left side of the config tab. I wont go into details on that, but there are many good places and even some VMware white papers on how to do this. The first thing that we will need to do is load VMware’s free hypervisor on to the hardware. The other advantage is that we can do this all with free software, and still provide internet access to each virtual site so that if we wanted to we can download windows updates, activate windows, and basically just emulate a real network. However I do have an M元70 G5 with more then enough RAM sitting on my desk…Įnter VMware ESXi Hypervisor (I guess I should use the new terms).īasically what I will explain is how to take …Īnd make it all run on a single server while making sure that each “site” has its own subnet and remains isolated from my employers network. I also don’t want to pay for the power to run all them while they idle along because ACME Inc’s workload isnt very high. The problem is that I don’t have too many spare servers capable of running Windows 2008 R2 just sitting around. Not to mention that I will probably to need to setup a network inside of my network so that I can test things like AD replication between “New York” and “San Francisco” or whatever make believe location the book listed. Now that I have started studying for my MCITP certification I found that I am going to need some windows servers in order to complete all the labs.
