It is in the vmware NIC config where I had to set it. >Below are two configs of the switch - one that has trunking but >doesn't work, and the other that doesn't have trunking but does work - >the configuration of the server is the same for each - a single >vswitch with the management network and VM network on it.

So you loose connectivity when you trunk, can you describe the complete Networking topology setup, If you haven't any guests, I assume you are only attempting to base connectivity off the vmk port. Port groups can override vswitch config, I am guessing your pg that the vmk port resides in is not inheriting the config you expect... Other things to check: Whats your Security settings on the vswitch (pg's)? Its possible you have a setting on the physical switch which is problematic, enable debug in a separate console and enable the trunk and see what happens. jlc ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
