VMware Network Design Considerations | Best Practices, vSphere Switches & Performance

Designing a VMware vSphere network isn’t just plugging cables—it requires careful planning for performance, availability, and security. In this video, we break down the key network design considerations every virtualization architect or admin should know before deploying hosts and VMs.

🔹 What You’ll Learn:

Physical NIC sizing & redundancy (active/passive vs. load balancing)

Virtual switch types: vSS (Standard) vs. vDS (Distributed)

VLAN design for management, vMotion, storage, and VM traffic

Traffic shaping, NIOC (Network I/O Control), and quality of service

vMotion network isolation and dedicated links

MTU considerations (Jumbo Frames for storage/vMotion)

Security best practices: port groups, forged transmits, promiscuous mode

Scalability limits per host, cluster, and switch

📌 Useful for: VMware vSphere 7, 8, or newer • VCP/VCIX candidates • Data center architects • Homelab enthusiasts
