Hello Spiceheads,
I have been doing a lot of google searches and cannot seem to figure out how to do this without blowing up our production environment.
We have 2 physical server in a co-lo facility, both servers have 2 physical NICs and we use Hyper-V. one NIC is for the internet and outside access. The second one is tied into the network which it is trying to connect to. We currently only have 3 different networks. 1 is our internal/internet, the other is to another company (company A) and another (Company B)
Server one is connected to the internet and Company A while the other is On the internet and Compnay B.
I need to move the VM's off Server 1 onto Server 2,
Here is what I need to accomplish:
- Server 2 needs to communicate to the internet, Company A and Company B with 1 NIC.
- Planning for the future, we will need 1 VM to access several Vlans at any given time.
As I have a test server here which is identical to the one in a facility. I have been testing different ways of doing this and not getting anywhere. I dont want to have 20 virtual nic's to the vm's just for their access. I should be able to add one nic which can access all our vlans.
Or, I could be looking at this the wrong way. Should this be done on the switch level?
