I have a ESXi machine with two NICs. NIC1 is connected to the network and works fine. But I want to connect NIC2 to a NAS for traffic management. I have both Physical Adapters (vmnic0 and vmnic1) attached to vSwitch0, but I don't know how to set them as a bridge. I believe they are set to the default "NIC Teaming".
Simple network diagram (DHCP server on network, everything is on flat 192.168.1.0 network):
vSphere Client Configuration:
You can see both NIC in vSwitch0. Should the NICs be in separate vSwitches, and then the vSwitches connected somehow?
I had this machine setup as a RHEL Linux KVM before I tried ESXi, and the networking worked fine. I created a bridge br0, and then assigned eth0, eth1 and all the NICs for the VMs to the br0 and it worked fine. The VMware terminology is a little different, and I'm struggling.
Thanks All.
