How to find vlanid for cvm with VMware HV | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Hi,

i have to extend a Cluster with ESXi7 HV, and in the foundation Software i have to fill in the vlanid for the cvm.

I guess this is the default vlan, so with AHV i knew the commands to find out the vlanid, but with ESXI i have no experience.

So could someone tell the the comands to find out the vlanid ?

Hi Uwe

 

are you looking for this in ESXCLI:

esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup list

 

this lists some vlans

in Vmware, simply , right click on exisiting CVM(as you are doing expansion), go to settings,in front of Netwroking, you will see it is attached to which port group (take note of the name).
now, on ESXI , go to Networking section, Portgroups, you will see the port group name and the corresponding VLAN ID for it.
for CLI , you can run: 

#esxcfg-vswitch -l
It will show you the port groups and corresponding VLAN ID

if you are doing foundation with FLAT switch, I suggest you do not put the VLAN ID now, you can tag the VLAN ID later when the foundation is over.
