Hyper-V: Configure VLANs and VLAN Tagging

Hyper-V: Configure VLANs and VLAN Tagging

The most Generic model:  enable Trunking on the physical switch (specifying the VLAN IDs and native VLAN) and apply a VLAN ID in the settings of the virtual NIC of each VM that needs it and the VM is attached to the proper External Virtual Network.
Note:  Hyper-V Virtual Networks are "trunking mode" by default.
  1. Configure the switch port as a trunk
  2. Specify VLAN IDs / Tags and native VLAN
  3. On Hyper-V create an External Virtual Network attached to the configured trunk port of the physical switch
  4. Apply a VLAN ID / Tag to each VM in the settings of the virtual network adapter
The Network Teaming model:  NIC Teaming is involved (since Hyper-V does not support bonding) - you apply the VLAN tag to the Teaming virtual NIC and attach a virtual switch to this.
  1. Create a trunked port on your switch.
  2. Create a team
  3. Create several Team Virtual NICs in parent partition assigning different VLAN IDs to each virtual NIC
  4. Create a Virtual Network from each of the Teaming Virtual NICs
  5. Connect VMs to proper Virtual Networks
  6. Don’t specify the VLAN ID field in VM properties
  7. But in some cases (e.g. HP NCU) step 6 is exactly opposite. You must specify VLAN ID both on virtual NIC level (step 3) and each VM level (step 6)
SCVMM is involved – follow the Generic Model and be sure to set the “trunking” option on the Virtual Network settings in the SCVMM management console.
Note: SCVMM exposes the two different types of trunking options (the Hyper-V Manager GUI does not expose the access mode setting) - trunk mode and access mode.

  Issue with Aria Automation Custom form Multi Value Picker and Data Grid https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=345960 Products VMware Aria Suite Issue/Introduction Symptoms: Getting  error " Expected Type String but was Object ", w hen trying to use Complex Types in MultiValue Picker on the Aria for Automation Custom Form. Environment VMware vRealize Automation 8.x Cause This issue has been identified where the problem appears when a single column Multi Value Picker or Data Grid is used. Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.

  The Guardrails of Automation VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 has redefined private cloud automation. With full-stack automation powered by Ansible and orchestrated through vRealize Orchestrator (vRO), and version-controlled deployments driven by GitOps and CI/CD pipelines, teams can build infrastructure faster than ever. But automation without guardrails is a recipe for risk Enter RBAC and policy enforcement. This third and final installment in our automation series focuses on how to secure and govern multi-tenant environments in VCF 9.0 with role-based access control (RBAC) and layered identity management. VCF’s IAM Foundation VCF 9.x integrates tightly with enterprise identity providers, enabling organizations to define and assign roles using existing Active Directory (AD) groups. With its persona-based access model, administrators can enforce strict boundaries across compute, storage, and networking resources: Personas : Global Admin, Tenant Admin, Contributor, Viewer Projec...
