Routerboard 951G and ESXi 5.5 Setup

RouterOS General
1

Here is the scenario:

I would like to setup up ESXi 5.5 as a host to work with the 951G, but not sue if it is possible.

RouterOs:

Port 1 > Gateway to Internet

Port 2 > Master-local Trunk Port to Layer 2 switch to carry VLANS, 10 and 30.
(I have created VLAN’s 10 and 30 and assigned IP addresses to the VLAN’s and then assigned the VLAN’s to the physical port #2 and also assigned the VLAN’s to the
bridge-local group). I can ping from a host on the layer 2 switch to each VLAN interface no problem.

Port 3 > Slave-local ESXi 5.5 Host with management port in VLAN 10. On the ESXi host, there will be VM’s in the VLAN 10 and 30 network that will need to pass through ESXi and port #3.

Can anyone help with the configuration for the 951G and ESXi 5.5?

Is ether2-master-local also a member of the bridge-local bridge? If so, don’t add your VLANs both to ether2-master-local and to bridge-local. Just put them on bridge-local.

Also, how did you add them to bridge-local? Did you create 2 vlan-10 and 2 vlan-30 interfaces, or did you only create 1 each on ether2-master-local and then add those to the bridge as member ports? You DON’T want to do the latter. If you added them as members to the bridge, remove them, and instead change the VLAN interface on both VLANs from ether2-master-local to bridge-local.
