    Hello everyone,

    i have an understanding question.

    What I have:

    vCenter 7.0

    3x ESXI 7.0: 2x 10 GBit; 2x 25 GBit

    2x 10 GBit Switch

    2x 25 Gbit Switch (configured as Stack)

    Distributed Switch with following Network groups and NICS:

    Production Network: VLAN 100 - nic 0 (active); nic1 (active)

    vSAN kernel: VLAN 200 - nic 2 (active) ; nic 3 (active) 

    VMotion kernel: VLAN 300 - nic 2 (active) ; nic 3 (active) 

    What I want:

    Failover configuration for all networks

    My idea:

    Production: On my 10 GBit Switches VLAN 100 is configured. nic 0 is connected to 10GSwitch1, nic 1 is connected to 10GSwitch 2 (both have an uplink port to Core Switch)

    vSAN / vMotion: On my 25 GBit Switches VLAN 200 and VLAN 300 are configured. nic 2 is connected to 25GSwitch1, nic 3 is connected to 25GSwitch2

    Here a possible configuration:

    My Question:

    Will there be loops on the Porduction sides and how can I prevent them?

    Will the vSAN /vMotion network have connectivity problems with this configuration?

     

    Thank you for your answers
