Not sure how identical arista and cisco configuration is to implement pvlan.Ĭisco website mentions that it mandatory that the upstream Switch must support pvlan promiscuous trunk mode to work in a vmware environment. My network guy says he has already configured the switch port be in trunk mode and created all the necessary VLANs.Īnybody can point out a doc for me that will tell me what exactly what needs to done on the upstream arista switch to make this work? I saw some documentation for configuring a cisco switch. So we replaced it with an older model which seems to support pvlan. We were using the newer model of Arista switch which is not PVLAN capable. I read that inorder to implement pvlan, the upstream switch need to be pvlan aware. So i suspect that something is missing on the upstream switch (ARISTA). Ideally with the MLAG peer link you want at least 2 interfaces in a port-channel for it to be resilient to a single SFP or fibre failure causing a split brain situation. But the moment i move the VM on promiscous mode to different host, i am unable to ping. it's really simple setup, 1 fiber between the switches 1 fiber from each fiber to the uplink (dc router), 10Gb in LACP. My problem is, if all the VM's are on the same host, the vm's on isolated portgroup are able to ping the vm on promiscous portgroup. Created a port group with vlan 46 as isolated.Ĥ. Configured a private vlan 48 (which automatically created vlan 48 as promiscous mode)ģ. Created a distributed switch with 2 uplinksĢ. I want to configure a vDS for private VLAN.ġ.
