Does The Vswitches Support Vlan Tagging? Why?

1.	Does The Vswitches Support Vlan Tagging? Why?
Answer» Yes, then Switches support VLAN Tagging; otherwise if the virtual machines in an esx host are connected to DIFFERENT VLANS, we need to INSTALL a separate physical nic (vSwitch) for every VLAN. That is the reason VMWARE included the VLAN tagging for vSwitches. So every vSwitch supports upto 1016 ports, and BTW they can support 1016 VLANS if needed, but an ESX server doesn’t support that MANY VM’s. :) Yes, then Switches support VLAN Tagging; otherwise if the virtual machines in an esx host are connected to different VLANS, we need to install a separate physical nic (vSwitch) for every VLAN.
