![]() Also, since I only have (2) free physical network cards after evacuating and consolidating onto a single VDS, I wanted to have as many possibilities and options so backing this portgroup with a single network adapter made sense. My POC didn’t need any kind of fault tolerance since this is just for testing and labbing. ![]() ![]() The first design thought I had in getting a VM up and running for testing 802.1X was to create a VSS portgroup using a specific physical network adapter from my host. Using a Dedicated Portgroup for Virtual Machine I wanted to share my findings in trying to enable VMware Virtual Machine 802.1X Authentication and how I was able to get this to work. Having a test workstation housed in a virtual machine was far more desirable from a lab and testing perspective. This is problematic from a remote testing standpoint as if something goes wrong with the 802.1X configuration or testing remotely, you will lose connection. One thing I wanted to do was move away from a physical workstation I was using for 802.1X testing. As I eluded to in a previous post about NIOC and consolidating my networking in the home lab using vSphere Distributed Switches and Network I/O Control, I had a few projects and testing in mind.
