I am new to virtualization and have a basic question about NIC teaming. I have a host with one NIC with 2 ports (vmnic0 and vmnic1). I have a network cable connected to vmnic0 and vmnic1 is open without any network connection to outer world. Can I use NIC teaming in this case? Or do both NICs have to be connected to the network for NIC teaming to work?
You can certainly configure everything as if both vmnics were active. However, with only one uplink connected to a physical switch, it may not make much sense.
