Daniel,

Thanks for the prompt reply. This is how far I've gotten while I was looking stuff up:

interface gigabitethernet0/1-4

channel-group 1 mode auto

interface gigabitethernet0/5-8

channel-group 2 mode auto

interface Port-channel1

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk allowed vlan remove 100

This allows for traffic to flow from the VRTX (SLOT-01 GI1/1-2) to flow through GI0/1-4 to my internal network without issue.

The challenge I have now is enabling traffic to flow from (untagged from ESXi) through SLOT-01 GI1/3-4) and pass to GI0/5-8 to my iSCSI switch (6424, untagged traffic). In other words, how do I route traffic from the ESXi environment through two ports on the blade to four specific ports on the external interfaces?

Hi Daniel,

The problem I think I'm having is that when the packets reach the iSCSI switch, they remain tagged and my iSCSI environment wasn't set up on that VLAN (currently on default PVID 1).

Thinking it might make more sense to schedule network downtime and just revamp my entire network config from scratch to fit the VRTX.
