VMware ESXi Networking Class for Home lab - the basics

This was very useful. Thank you

The video I needed! A Million thanks!!! Keep them coming, great job!

Thank Brandon, well explaint on vswitch, but i dont quite understand the last bit you saying about "upstream " are you referring to the standard alone physical vmhost?

Hi Brandon Lee, Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

I think one or two diagrams would have helped me more

Brando, I have two 10GB nics on my lab server (single esxi8 box). Currently one is configured for the ESXi8 host on vlan99 (management), which is tagged from the physical switch that the ESXi host is plugged into. I would like to use the second 10gb nic for the lab network, vlan80, which is also tagged from the physical switch. Do I need to add a vSwitch1 to vmnic1 and then add a vmk1 VMkernel adapter? Also, if I wanted to further subdivide the vlant80, it feels like I should be adding a trunking configuration to esxi8, and assigning the vlan tags in esxi. Great video. Thanks,

Thank you bro..im noobs in vmware esxi and im a bit confused how this virtual switch is working..and you answer it correctly on this video

Thank you! Just got done upgrading 6.7 to 7.0.3.

First, thank you for taking the time to make these videos - extremely helpful. This video seems to have helped me get mostly there but am curious if you have another video around resource allocation/system traffic and network resource pools?

When a server comes with 4 nics (2 1gb and 2 10gb), what's the best practice to use in vmware?

This was Great THANKS!!!

Amazing, simplified tutorial. Many thanks

can you make a series of video about GPU on esxi, thanks.

Great explanation! I'm fairly new to VMware, and have a question. Are the vmnic0, vmnic1, etc. (physical adapters) that are connected to the physical switch trunking by default, or would the interfaces need to be setup as trunk ports?

Are the Management Network and the VM Network port groups too? What didn't they a VLAN ID? 🤔

If I wanted to setup vSphere and ESXI in my home lab are there free versions?

Hello Brando Lee ! I am from Brazil and always see your vídeos about VMware ! I I would like to thank you for your videos. You speak in a very easy to understand way. Through your videos I can learn a lot
