Hi,

You just need to create a normal trunk. Below is an example:

interface GigabitEthernet1/1
description VMware ESX - Trunk A - NIC 0 – Port Description
switchport trunk allowed vlan 100,200 
switchport mode trunk
switchport nonegotiate
spanning-tree portfast trunk

You then need to create the trunk on the esxi server.

Thanks

John

The use of VLANs on a switch offers the possibility to increase the network security level through segmentation. This video will demonstrate how to configure a trunk between Cisco Catalyst Switch 2960 and a server running VMware ESXi 6 using the command line.
