Assigning physical NIC to a VM

Hi,

My host server has 4 NICs.  How do I assign a physical NIC to a VM? The guest VM OS is Windows Server 2012.

Thank you.

Typically, you will assign physical NICs to vSwitches in ESXi and then assign the VM to the vSwitch.

How is your networking currently set up on the ESXi host?

Thank you for your answer.

I've created the vSwitch and assigned the VM to the vSwitch.

Thanks again.
