Just a question on multi network link

Hello

i have a question, we have an esxi 5.0 cluster, each server has 4 network card, but only 2 are linked to the same switch, and we want to link the 2 others to another switch, do i have to do a special configuration ?

I think that i have only to move up the 2 others dvuplink to active uplinks.

Thanks for your answers

Nothing special from a vSphere perspective... It should work fine as long as the physical switches are correctly configured with respect to spanning tree and VLAN trunking
