VMkernel Default gateway

We have two virtual switches, vswitch0 has management network which is VMkernel port. For some reasons, we must create vswitch1 to add vmkernel port for VMotion. I Set the default gateway IP which is different from management network default gateway.and I found Management network default gateway is changed automatically to be the same as vswitch1. I wonder if one ESXi server can only have one default gateway.

yes ESXi will have only one default gateway.You need to add a route rule for creating the alternate gateway... Check the link kb.vmware.com/kb/2001426
