n00b alert! 1 pNIC, multiple vNICs - how does that work?!

Hi all,

I have built a standalone server running ESXi 5.5.0 Update 1.

The server has multiple NICs (8 in total). Each NIC is connected to a Cisco switch (same switch).

Here's what I want to do:

  • Set up 4 separate environments, each with ~6 VMs.
  • Each environment should use a single pNIC.
  • Each VM in each environment should be reachable remotely, via SSH.

 

What I know so far is that I need to point each VM to a specific pNIC (dependent on which environment I'm in).

What I don't know is how I share a pNIC with multiple VMs and still have them all reachable remotely. It's something to do with VLANs I think, but any links or pointers as to how to set this up would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks, Mark
