Re: Networking best practice for 2 hosts with 4 nics

This is far and away the most FAQ here, it's frustrating to see a question four times on the first page of a forum.

 

There's no strict "best practice" because there's several elements open to interpretation, however, the obvious answer would be:

 

One vSwitch with two pNics. Has a vmkernel for management and vmotion.

One vSswitch with the remaining pNics. Has a VM portgroup

 

If your switch won't do VLANs and you connect all four ports to the same switch - isolating is pretty much a thereotical exercise. Either upgrade the switch or accept that these things are not isolated.
