During all my planning, I haven’t thought about IP Addresses. Why? I was just going to reuse the existing IP Addresses. But then I realized, what about the names? I know, names should not dictate your IP numbering scheme, but..
esxi01 = 192.168.200.11
esxi02 = 192.168.200.12
esxi06 = 192.168.200.16
See what I had going on? Now, I could just reuse 192.168.200.13-.16 and name them NTNX01-04, but then there’s also the CVMs that need IPs. So instead of reusing, I’ve decided:
DNS Name | IP Address |
NTNX01 | 192.168.200.101 |
NTNX02 | 192.168.200.102 |
NTNX03 | 192.168.200.103 |
NTNX04 | 192.168.200.104 |
CVM01 | 192.168.200.111 |
CVM02 | 192.168.200.112 |
CVM03 | 192.168.200.113 |
CVM04 | 192.168.200.114 |
CVM | 192.168.200.110 |
PRISM | 192.168.200.100 |
So, 192.168.200.11-192.168.200.19 will still be reserved for ESXi hosts. 192.168.200.100-119 will be used for Nutanix. I do not see myself having more than 6 hosts at home at a time. Nested labs will use different spaces.
