What’s New in VMware vSphere 5.5 Platform

Figure 9 shows a deployment in which a vSphere host has four uplinks, and those uplinks are connected to the two physical switches. By combining two uplinks on the physical and virtual switch, LAGs are created. The LACP configuration on the vSphere host is performed on the VDS and the port groups.

First, the LAGs and the associated uplinks are configured on the VDS. Then, the port groups are configured to use those LAGs. In this example, the green port group is configured with LAG1; the yellow port group is configured with LAG2. All the traffic from virtual machines connected to the green port group follow the

LAG1 path.

capability is also referred to as access control lists (ACLs), and it is used to provide port-level security.The VDS supports packet classification, based on the following three different types of qualifiers: –MAC SA and DA qualifiers

–System traffic qualifiers – vSphere vMotion, vSphere management, vSphere FT, and so on –IP qualifiers – Protocol type, IP SA, IP DA, and port number

After the qualifier has been selected and packets have been classified, users have the option to either filter or tag those packets.

When the classified packets have been selected for filtering, users have the option to filter ingress, egress, or traffic in both directions.
