VirtualLabs and SubInterfaces

Post by rjohnson843 »

Virtual Labs are subject to VMware's 10 vNIC limit. This matters if you are creating a Virtual Lab to test/verify your backups and replicas with more than 10 VLANS. Each VLAN gets assigned to a vNIC.
Currently, you have to create multiple labs and split up you Sure Backup jobs.

I'd like to see Virtual Labs utilize network sub-interfaces for the isolated networks; this would be connected to a vNIC connected assigned to a VLAN Trunk Port.

Then a Virtual Lab only really needs two vNICs - one to access to the Lab, the other can handle all the isolated networks.
