#VMware Administration - 3. Understand Physical and VMware Networking Basics
Channel: Srinivas Maganti
Date: 2020-01-29

At the core of vSphere Networking are virtual switches. vSphere supports standard switches (VSS) and distributed switches (VDS). Each virtual switch has a preset number of ports and one or more port groups.

I have covered the following things in one video !! have some patience and apologies for mistakes !!
1. Basic Networking 
2 Types of IP address: 1. Private (non Routable) & 2. Public (Routable)
Class A : 
1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255 
==============================
Enterprise Level 
10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 - taken out for CLASS A private purpose
==============================
1.0.0.0 to 9.255.255.255 &11.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255 - are public IPs in CLass A

instagram.com [34.196.166.174]
amazon.in [52.95.116.115]
==============================
Class B
128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
===============================
Small & Mid Enterprise's

172.16.0.0 to 172.32.255.255 - Taken out for CLASS B Private purpose
===============================
128.0.0.0 to 172.15.255.255 & 172.33.0.0 to 191.255.255.255 - are public IPs in Class B

google.co.in [172.217.160.163]
amazon.co.uk [178.236.7.220]
amazon.com [176.32.98.166]
facebook.com [157.240.16.35]
==============================
Class C
192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
==============================
Home Purpose 
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 - Taken out for CLASS C private purpose
==============================
192.0.0.0 to 192.167.255.255 & 192.169.0.0 to 223.255.255.255 - are public IPs in Class C
godaddy.com [208.109.192.70]
==============================
What is VLAN? 
Simply a grouping of Some devices in your organisation
VLAN 1: 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.255 - 256 IPs (0 & 255 are gone) you can use 254 Ip's
Gateway : 192.168.1.100
=======================
Source is: 192.168.1.149 (My laptop) to Destination is : 192.168.151(My ESXi)  - no gateway
Source is: 192.168.1.149 (My laptop) to Destination is : 192.168.40.40(vCenter) -need gateway
============================================================
2. What is Vmware Networking
-By Default When you install Esxi Host, one Switch will be deployed Called as vSpher Standard Switch.
-It contains 2 Components 1. Kernel Port 2. VM Port groups
-VMKerner port is responsible to Respond back for Host requests.
-VM Port groups will be used to manage Virtual Machine Traffic via diff VLAN Mapping's
