Thank you JB, I was unaware that ESXi was free now. Can ESXi do DTP
and VLANs or is it emulated LANs?

Why not use VMWare ESX 3i? It is now free, and it will allow you to do
virtual vlans

Hi All,

I am setting up a lab in VMWare and I am looking for ways to emulate a
switch with 802.1q VLANs for L2 network security testing. I would like
to be able to signal trunking via DTP and test double-tagged frames
(QinQ) to jump VLANs, etc. I prefer open source / free solutions.

Cheers.
