A little background on this one I have to introduce two new hosts into a 6 node cluster. Unfortunately there are no vDS but that’s a different matter. I have been assured by the networking guys that all the VLAN presentation is consistent across the entire chassis containing all blades. However I can’t rely on this information due to past events.
I know I can ping out of specific adapters using the syntax below…
vmkping –I vmk1 192.168.1.254
However how could I ping specific VLANS on specific gateways to be assured connectivity exists? What would be the syntax for the command would someone kindly provide a example
