Nested Nsx Vmware Nsx on Intel Nuc Lab Setup Part 3
In the previous two posts I described how to set-up a nested ESXi environment on the Intel NUC and how to install and configure it for NSX. So in this post I assume everything is installed and configured and we can actually start deploying a network.
Nested Nsx Vmware Nsx on Intel Nuc Lab Setup Part 2
In my previous post I described how to create a nested ESXi environment, connected to a vCenter, this as a preparation to run eventually NSX. In this post we will build further on the basic set-up we created in part 1 of this series.
Nested Nsx Vmware Nsx on Intel Nuc Lab Setup Part 1
While the VMware Hands-on Labs are extremely cool and useful, I found it always very learning-full and nonetheless fun to build my own labs. To keep it fun and keep down the noise and powering costs I decided to buy some Intel NUCs, which have a good price tag and are very low on energy.
Mikrotik VLAN Switching Without Bridging
One of the greatest networking vendors for homelabs is in my opinion Mikrotik, they offer great (often enterprise) features for a very compelling price. On the other hand it can be a bit daunting to configure and the firmware releases aren’t always equally stable.

New Home Lab Intel Nuc Vsphere 5 5u1
A while ago I decided it was time to upgrade my home lab which was already 4 years old and 16GB of RAM wasn’t sufficient anymore for my current projects. Some of the key requirements;
