Teaming Vmotion and service console nic?

Hi, I would like to know if this is : 1: Possible 2:recommended

3: How is this done? Can I use a private IP only available to the ESX Servers(which is not known to the network) i.e. 192.168.24.24 while still having the SC on a production network? Will i have to Make both ports trunk ports and create separate port groups for a vmotion and SC specifying the vlan ID?

Any input would be appreciated.

Ken's article holds most answers and is one of the best I've seen on this topic. far better than anyone can answer here in a couple of lines.

Hello,

Yes it is recommended by VMware. From a security and performance perspective it is the best combination of networks.
