Powerconnect 5324 and VMWare
Hello all,
We're trying to setup a DMZ within our VMWare environment connecting to a Dell Powerconnect 5324 and are struggling somewhat.
The 5324 has 2 VLAN's setup, VLAN1 (Default) and VLAN3 (DMZ).
The VMWare environment has 2 networks configured, the default network, and a network called DMZ on VLAN3.
No matter what we do with the switch (setting up the ports connecting to the VM environment as trunk or general) we can't see any VM's on the DMZ network - anyone mamanged to set this up successfully who has any pointers or suggestions please?
TIA, Andy

The vswitches are setup with a default vlsan (no changes have been made to this) and another vlan, vlan3 'DMZ'.
we've got a layer 3 device routing between vlans and thi s works fine, we can connect to switchport7 using a physical device and access vlan3, or plug it into port 8 and access vlan1 no problem.
We can access vlan3 from vlan 1 and vice versa when plugging into the physical switches with say a laptop, just the VM;s we can;t get to 'see; the vlan3 DMZ :-/
port24 is the uplink to another switch via a trunk port (the layer 3 device is several switch away)

Hello Daniel and thanks again,
Heres the configuration for ports 1 and 2 on the Dell switch (you're right they go to the Vswitch, ports1 for data and port2 for vMotion)
We've also tried port1 and 2 for both Trunk and General setup, neither have worked for us though.
VLAN1 setup
VLAN3 setup
I'll grab the vSwitch setup in VMware soon as I'm n work Monday!
