Hello! I have three SG200-26 switches, and I also have two ESXi hosts that I would like to connect exactly like shown in the attached "best practice" map by VMware.
Even though I created the VLANs in the SG200 and I set the two VLANs (508 and 608) as allowed for these ports (where my ESX NIC's are connected), I can not ping from host 1 to host 2 when configuring their NIC's to use 608 VLAN.
Am I missing something? my IP's are all in the 192.168. network, and the only reason I need the VLANs is to segregate traffic of the VSA back-end internally, only these two hosts will be using the VLANs. So I think I do not have to create virtual interfaces on my router since this the case, is my understanding correct?
Also sending my switch config screenshot below.. all 3 switches have the latest firmware.
Any ideas what to change on the SG200 to make this work , would be appreciated!
VMware also states that the VLAN protocol on the physical switch must be 802.1Q, not ISL, anyone knows which of the two my SG200-26 uses?
In addition to that, the only requirements is that my two hosts:
Thank you for your time!

Hi Alex,
My switches supports 802.1Q, your switch config looks ok at this point.
Here are some of my thoughts as I look at the posting, and I am a wee bit confused.
What concerns me is the configuration on the sonic wall, or router, they are not propagating VLANs between the router ports?
