Run Multiple vSwitches VM in Virtual Lab

Post by Tos »

Hi,
When multiple vSwitches exist in the production network, our customer want to run Sure Backup from backup data of VMs used these vSwitches.
We think Veeam can only create a single vSwitch in a Virtual Lab.
In this case, should we map multiple vSwitches in the production network to a single vSwitch in a Virtual Lab by using different VLAN IDs ?

Hello,
our customer want to run Sure Backup from backup data of VMs used these vSwitches.
this is not how it works. The VLAB vSwitch is always separated to make sure no conflicts with production occur.

What is the idea of running VLABs on a production switch?

Best regards,
Hannes

Hi
Thanks for reply.

Would you please look at below pictute ?
It's customer's environment.

In this case, we think we should set the below setting to Virtual Lab.

Does this not work ?
Please let me know if there is another way.

Hello,
ah, you have a multi-homed VM.

Yes, that works (well, at least if you have static IPs for that VM and the NAT settings are correct).

Best regards,
Hannes
