how VCMP host will communicate to the external Network

Question

Hello All,
I would like to understand the data flow from the VCMP guest to the external Network.&nbsp;

Does VCMP guest forward the traffic to external network through VMCP host and VCMP host would be having the physical wiring connectivity to the upstream devices?&nbsp;

If so don't we need to assign an IP address to VCMP host? Else assigning the IP address to VCMP guest will be enough to communicate with external Network from VCMP guest?&nbsp;

Regards,
Thiyagu&nbsp;

From VCMP host respective it's all Layer 2 communication upstream. You would present the VLAN trunk to the host and then make individual VLANs available to your guests and create appropriate self-IPs on VCMP guests. &nbsp;
You might find find this article useful to better understand VCMP host/guest configuration.
