i will take a look,,  

When I created the VLANs I did not see an area to assign an IP.

Where in the OpenMange GUI do I see if a VLAN has an IP?

ok,, i only see the Ip of the switch listed under IPv4 Interface Parameters. and it is VLAN1.

Do I need to add VLAN2 and give it an  IP?

On another note, I have a 6248 switch,,,what are the 4 ports labeled  SFP used for?

ok,,,,thanks,,,i checked our 6248 and the SFP ports (xg1-xg4) do not have modules in them,,,

the reason I ask,, is I have to connect a Cisco 3560 to VLAN 10 on the 6248,,,

I have to set up the Cisco with 12 Ports in VLAN 10 and then connect it to one of the 6248 VLAN 10 ports,,,

i tried adding an Ip to VLAN2 and get an error,,Duplicated IP interface on same subnet..I tired to ping the Ip and it is not active,,,

yes,, and I see that as the issue...vlan1 is 192.168.10.15 and i tried to add vlan2 as 192.168.10.25 ..ips are provided by our it dept for the dmz...is there a way just to use static routing to get IPs in VLAN1 to talk to IPs in VLAN2

i was thinking vlan1 as 192.168.10.15, vlan2 as 192.160,10.10, create a new vswitch and the nics are in vlan2.... i am not sure about this or if there has to be a trunk port?

also, i am wondering if i need to create a new vSwitch with a new IP in a different subnet and then assign and IP to VLAN2 within that subnet and set up teh routing on the switch ?

this goes back to the original set up.

the ESXi console is on vSwitch 0 along with a few VMs.  

These reside on the default VLAN1 (192.168.10.15)  which also has the connection to the DMZ allowing the users to access the VMs in VLAN1

VLAN2 has a set of 7 developer VMs.  

The issue is, the access to the VMs is via VLAN1.

Currently, If a user tries to access VMs via RDP in VLAN2, they cannot connect.
