Now we are going to learn that how to create a distributed port group.
It's actually very easy.
I can go to the distributed virtual switch.
Right click and then I can create this distributed port group.
So I have that option.
I can go and give any name I will give any logical name then we have the configuration setting.
What's the port binding option.
It is a static or femoral or support allocation option.
Is it elastic or fixed.
The number of ports then the resource pool will end some advance option.
So what does it mean by Port binding it can see the first option is Port binding.
Either we can use a static sense tactically the VM interfaces are we we like I can go and attach with
the distributed port group or there is no binding that is the femoral port then in the port allocation
we can see you have the elastic option we have fixed option elastic means that is the default option
by default you have it put a sign if that it port will get assigned it will create again it puts fix
means the default number of ports is six to eight no additional ports are created when all the port
will get assigned not adjusted the number of ports we can go and give the number of ports then we have
the option related to network resource pool why we are using this network resource pool if we have create
a network pool to help control traffic you can select us just for the control traffic we have this option
then embarked on militancy have the will and type so we land type maybe none are drinking privately
land et etc. So whatever option we have over the interface to the villain we can go and assign it very
much similar to Cisco INTERFACES where we have such boat moored access trunk and add some relearned
over the trunk et cetera then we have the private will and option also in the switch interfaces so we
have all those options then finally the advance option select this checkbox to customize the policy
configuration for the new distributed portable.
So if we want to customize I can go here and use the advance option here you can see advance check this
customized default policies configuration so like that will go and create the port group once you create
that you can go and check inside the VM networking this Newport Group will be created next what we can
do will go to the topology section and we will see that where exactly the support group is you can go
and check that the port group and not only you can check the port go but what I will do in the activity
that some of the VM with the Winik I will assign with this particular port group and then we can see
that the V how they are mapping the VM Nick or the uplink.
OK so those things we can go and see also here you can see in the diagram that we have the VM kernel
ports you have the VM Colonel port with the different different port groups as well.
All right.
Here you can see this kind of you release the Vinick is map with a VM Nick so let's log into the obviously
client and let's complete this task like so I logged in inside the obvious with client and we are inside
the VM network we we are inside the network options so here you have the network here you can see that
we have the distributed virtual switch simply go and do the right click you can create a distributed
port group yes I want to create a support group although I have option to import the port group manage
the distributed port group so I don't want that I can give the name say I'm going to use this as a say
for example I give name as a tiny web server
group location is this particular switch that's okay we'll go next then you can see the option you have
the port binding a static a femoral like is no binding distracting and binding you have elastic and
fixed option by default you have the eight after that it will go and add network resource pool for network
control traffic will leave it will and type I leave it as a number we have the will and will end King
and the private will and option customize default policy configuration if we enable then you can see
that we have graphic shipping deeming failover monitoring miscellaneous all those customization option
will get appeared so I'll make this on so we'll understand we'll see all those options as well we have
already discussed about promiscuous mac address and the phones transmit and let me go back all is a
reject reject reject I'll make this as except for the moment as we have check in our last section then
the traffic shipping at the moment I leave this as it is then you can see that we have four uplink all
are active.
The divide is the root based on the genetic originating virtual port.
That's a load balancing default and default method.
Then you have the network failure legal status.
You have proof.
Also we have the study about this.
Notify switch yes fallback.
Yes.
So it will restore the original status of the interface if it will get filed back then monitoring I
will not to use net flow at the moment.
But if you want you can will enable and then you can use it at the moment.
I'll make this as it visible.
Then you have the miscellaneous shops and inside miscellaneous block out all ports.
Option is yes or no will leave this next.
So now you have your distributed port group with all those options.
And now here you can see that you have tiny web server.
This is attachment to host like this to hypervisor is network protocol profile is not the rest of the
things are not there at the moment.
So here you can see that it is attached with two host.
But suppose if you want to attach the host here we'll see that.
I'll show you that how to do some sort of manipulation later on at the moment.
What I want to show at this point of time is that once you create the distributed output group first
of all I want to go to this switch and I want to show you let me go and show you the changes that happens.
So if I go here now I can see this that the network is 6 so 1 2 3 4 5 6 5 plus 1 initially it was 5
rest of the things will leave.
This has the same at the moment I can go to the configuration inside the configuration I want to show
you this topology option once you're inside the topology if I scroll down here you can see here.
So you have this tiny web server group as for the alphabetical order they have taken so e is and then
D.
And then we so now what I want to show here is a few of the port groups for example this virtual port
group that is we m reasonably 0 videos compared to virtual machine tiny and the windows and now they
are mapped.
So they are map from here from here up to this point.
Correct.
We want to see the setting.
You can see it.
So what I want to do here that I want to remove this tiny and I want to attack this tiny here so you
can see that the number of virtual machines will increase correct.
So that will be the value test were taken into here multiple ways.
We have.
I can go to the host cluster or maybe VM and templates because I am looking for the tiny Linux and the
to both I'm looking for.
So what I can do here I can go to the aged setting.
That's the easiest way to reach there.
I can go to the network controller.
I can browse this and now you can associate with these tiny web server.
Remember port group is the same type of active use same type of properties that you are connecting your
endpoint or the virtual machine interface to this particular group.
Right.
So I have done this once we've done this and then I'll click Okay.
Then I'll go to this tiny two as well.
And they also will go to the elite setting once we are here in studio VM network.
Click Browse and then I'll go and use this tiny web server group.
OK then we'll go back to the networking and we'll go to the switch configure and topology.
We are already inside the topology now you can see this guy you at it.
Two are connected correct.
To we leak going to this particular uplink.
And if you want to see this uplink and the associated host so this host has these two uplink this host
has these two uplinks William leak 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 and when we have Nic 0 and 1 both haven't mother who's
having those so like that you can see that.
It is mapped a few of the links a 3 and 4.
They are unused.
The uplinks are in use.
So this is the way you can create a support group.
Once he had a port group how you can go and attach the VM interface with the port group.
And if you want you can go and verify from this particular configuration and topology option light.
So I hope you understand up to this point to stop here and that section will do more lab related to
this.
