Hi,

It is not mandatory to use single dedicated vlan in a multi zone environmen=
t. It is possible to have a dedicated VLAN at each site for vCenter, ESXi c=
onsole ports and the system VM's, and then have the ACS server sitting in a=
 separate VLAN that can route between both networks.

Thanks,
Sanjeev

Subject: ACS 4.2.1 - Multi-Zone vSphere Architecture

Hi all,

Im after some guidance on setting up ACS 4.2.1 with vSphere in a multi zone=
 environment. The only way I have been able to successfully build a zone to=
 this point is by having vSphere, ESXi console ports, ACS and the reserved =
system range on a single VLAN. This is OK for a small, single site deployme=
nt but how does this translate for multiple zones? The docs suggest that co=
nfiguring a single /20 range for management is desired, does that imply tha=
t that range should be stretched across sites?

Should it be possible to have a dedicated VLAN at each site for vCenter, ES=
Xi console ports and the system VM's, and then have the ACS server sitting =
in a separate VLAN that can route between both networks? I have been unsucc=
essful in getting his working to date so hopefully someone out there has so=
me experience setting up a multi-site ACS/vSphere envoronment.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
