So we've had VMware in place for a while now, but our network has been a sore spot. We are now working to remedy that.
We have slowly begun to VLAN off parts of our network, which previously all ran in Vlan1.
So now I am working on setting up a Guest Wireless network and to VLAN that activity off.
But to get that setup, I need to allow the new guest VLAN to access our DHCP server, which is running on a ESX server with no Vlans currently setup.
The network layout is going to be like this:
Cisco 2702e WAP->3Com 4500G->Brocade ICX6610->Dell Powerconnect 5548->ESX 5.5 Server->VM running DHCP
I need to setup the VLANs in such a way that all the traffic that is still all in the native VLAN (VLAN 1) works, and also the VM running DHCP has one vlan'd interface just for the guest network that allows it to hand out addresses for the guest network scope.
I know I can via tagging and trunk ports I can handle the switch side of things up to the Dell switch, but I am very unsure as to how to set this up on the Dell switch and the ESX server.
I would appreciate any guidance anyone can give.
