Creating custom VMkernel TCP/IP stacks

A VMkernel includes more than one TCP/IP stack. There are three system stacks—VMotion, provisioning, and default. However, you are also allowed to create custom TCP/IP stacks. In this recipe, we will learn how to set up and use custom TCP/IP stacks.

Getting ready

To be able to create custom TCP/IP stacks you need the following data handy:

Name of the TCP/IP stack
DNS addresses
Gateway address of the subnet the TCP/IP stack will be a part of. You will only be able to set a default gateway address after you map a VMkernel interface to the custom stack.
