#### **Step 1:** Please fill in the formation in yellow cells. <a href="#step-1-please-fill-in-the-formation-in-yellow-cells" id="step-1-please-fill-in-the-formation-in-yellow-cells"></a>

* VLAN & Port groups will be created on vDistributed Switch.

#### **Step 2:** Creating port groups (VLANs)on vCenter (if we don't have) <a href="#step-2-creating-port-groups-vlans-on-vcenter-if-we-dont-have" id="step-2-creating-port-groups-vlans-on-vcenter-if-we-dont-have"></a>

<figure><img src="/files/t0qJMxScCbArTudyjT1e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Step 3:** Configure VLAN & Security for TRUNK port <a href="#step-3-configure-vlan-and-security-for-trunk-port" id="step-3-configure-vlan-and-security-for-trunk-port"></a>

* Tag VLAN:<br>

  <figure><img src="/files/avw3zD5tsuTqI1hMpec9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Set security: enable Promiscuous mode and Forged transmits

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Step 4:** Creating Network on HI GIO (detail steps can check [here](https://higio-support.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/v2/pages/33095854/Working+with+Organization+VDC+Networks#II.-Creating-a-Routed-VCD-network)) <a href="#step-4-creating-network-on-hi-gio-detail-steps-can-check-here" id="step-4-creating-network-on-hi-gio-detail-steps-can-check-here"></a>

* These networks are stretch layer 2 (same subnet as on-prem).
* Select IP for gateway CIDR **(It's must not duplicate IP address)**
