Hi
We've got a need to set up a number of port groups (4 at current count) which are unable to talk to each other, but due to pNIC limitations, they need to be all on the same vSwitch. The machines will be spread over a couple of hosts, so each port group needs to be able to talk to machines in the same port group on the other server.
If the VLAN ID on each group is left blank, then each machine can see every other, regardless of PG. I've tried moving up to a vDS in the thought that PVLANs would do what we need, but it appears these aren't private to VMWare - the physical switch needs these setting up on it as well, if what I've read and found is correct?
Is there a way of doing this? Or am I really looking at VXLANs to achieve this? If so, does anyone have a decent guide for getting the vCloud Network and Security stuff going? We're currently on 5.1, if that makes a difference to the question.
Thanks!
