Using existing VDS in a VMware environment for microsegmentation

  • 1.  Using existing VDS in a VMware environment for microsegmentation

    Posted Apr 03, 2025 05:56 AM
    Hello friends, I would like to ask a question about microsegmentation and vsphere integration using AFC and PSM.
     
    I have a client who purchased two CX 10K switches and currently have Vmware as their infrastructure. They don't have the option to create a new VDS (for microsegmentation) because they don't have available physical ports on the hosts. Is it possible to use the same VDS they currently have? If I deploy PVLAN on an existing VDS (not new) VDS. the configurations that AFC sends to the CX10K ports that connect the hosts be overwritten?
     
    What the client wants is to ensure that the VLANs currently in the VDS and the port-level configurations on the CX10Ks are not affected.
    Any difference between using an existing VDS and a VDS created from AFC?
    Best Regards,
