Hey everyone,
i migrate from a linux vbox several machines to esxi and now i want the same network configuration as before for the vm's but dont know how to do it on vsphere/esxi 5.1
i think its much more easy than on linux with virtualbox
my old configuration looks like this:
/etc/network/interfaces
# This device is used to attach the virtual machines in bridged mode
auto tun0
iface tun0 inet manual
pre-up modprobe tun && ip tuntap add mode tap user vbox group vboxusers name tun0 && ifconfig tun0 up
post-down ip tuntap del mode tap name tun0
# This device makes the local machine accessable to the virtual machines.
# On it the DHCP server and the routing do their work.
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.124.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
# bridge_ports tun0 tun1 tun2
bridge_ports tun0
iface br0 inet6 static
address fd1c:3c0f:fee0:4711::1
netmask 64
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in /etc/radvd.conf i made the followin entrys so that the vms know the local network:
interface br0
{
AdvSendAdvert on;
prefix fd1c:3c0f:fee0:4711::/64
{
};
};
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
then i made in /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i used DNSMASQ as an name and dhcp server make a correct iptables route and make it for everyone accessable trough dns in our main network......
So please give me a step by step or tutorial how i can manage this on esxi?! i think to complicated and can obviously with much more ease done with esxi i think
every help or ideas are very welcome because its a productive plattform
thank you esxi pros!
