Creating Host-only network in esxi 5.5

[vbalakrishnan]

Can I create a host-only network on ESXi 5.5 with DHCP enabled similar to the host-only network created on VMware workstations ? Any guidance are most welcome.

In esxi server, you can not create the same network as workstation as a vSwtich creation is required.

You can use ESXi to create something thats close to a Host-only-network like you know it from Workstation
BUT you would need to create a VM that acts as a DHCP-server yourself.

You require DHCP.
