Setting up networking in VMware ESXi
Before you start, install the ESXi server. You can deploy the first virtual machine on your ESXi host by using the vSphere Client.
To set up a network in VMware ESXi
- Start the vSphere Client and type the logon details for your host.
In the IP address / Hostname text box, enter the ESXi server IP/hostname.
In the User name text box, type root.
In the Password text box, type my_esxi_password.
- Set up the networking requirements for Veritas Access.
To set up the public network virtual switch:
In the Configuration tab of the ESXi host, navigate to Hardware > Networking.
Click Add Networking on the top right corner.
Select the connection type as Virtual Machine and click Next.
Select the NIC that is connected to the public network under the Create a virtual switch section.
Enter the appropriate network label for the public virtual switch.
Verify the summary and click Finish to create the public network virtual switch.
Repeat the steps for creating multiple public network switches.
To set up the private network virtual switch:
In the Configuration tab of the ESXi host, navigate to Hardware > Networking.
Click Add Networking on the top right corner.
Select the connection type as Virtual Machine and click Next.
Deselect any NIC that is selected by default for creating the virtual switch.
Enter the appropriate network label for the private virtual switch.
Verify that the summary shows no-adapters under the physical adapters, and click Finish to create the first private network virtual switch.
