Cmetz\her209 - what exactly is broken with regards to ESX and VLAN Support? VLAN Support in Virtual Infrastructure seems to be fine, but, again, I am new to it. Are you strictly referring to ESX 2.x?

In my experience, it causes intermittent functionality with VMotion.

I've had VMotion issues, but it's always been related to the logical VMotion interface and not VLANing.

In my cluster I've got about half-dozen VLANs where my VMs terminate and I'm not running into any major issues. Is this common? Is this related to a configuration?

How do you segregate your Service Console, VMotion, and VM traffic?

I have separate interfaces for the service console and VMotion. I also have separate interfaces for the VMs that are dot1q trunking.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the design guides specify separate physical interfaces for service console, vmotion and VMs? That being the case a bare minimum for each ESX host is 3 interfaces.

You can run it on two in four different configurations:
