ESXi Network Interfaces | Host only | Host to Host

Hello forum, this is my first time posting here so please bare with. I have had a trawl through the documentation but I can't seem to find what I am looking for or I am referencing it incorrectly.

What I am trying to achieve is to create an NIC on a host which has nothing plugged into it. I want to do this so that I can create another host and do the same. I then want to join these hosts together. The same as in the real as plugging two devices together using a crossover cable. Is this possible?

I am running Cisco IOSv which is peering via BGP to my real routers, instead of using a vSwitch I need to use Cisco Nexus L2V as the switch due to some of the features this offers. I need to assign virtual ports to it to plug in the VM's. So a virtual Router on a stick (ROAS) setup.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction? Thanks very much.
