VMware and networking


Networking in a VMware environment can be a pain point for administrators as there are related security concerns. VMware networks can circumvent firewall and router security measures that separate a demilitarized zone from an external network, so there are extra precautions an IT pro should take in order to contain network traffic, although this management task is simplified with vShield Zones. This section offers expert tips that explain how to use both.

This section also offers overviews of and suggestions for selecting physical servers that will ease networking in a VMware environment; how to configure virtual switches (also called vSwitches), network interface cards and virtual LANs; chapter downloads and more.
