Multiple network cards

[ogascon]

Hi,

I'm not pretty sure if my post should be here.

I have a new server Dell R640 with VMare ESXi 6.7.0 and the server have 4 physically network ports.

I have been create a  windows virtual server 2019 standar 64 bits and I see that the server have 1 network card that works in a 1GB.

My question is, Can I add a second network card that maybe works in a bridge mode to get twice speed?

My switch works in a 1GB speed, So I thinked if I add another wired maybe I will get 2 GB to transfer local files.

I'm not an expert in VMware, thanks for you comments.

Hi,

I do not think you need to do a nic teaming in the os.
As long as you have proper nic teaming on the physical nics to the physical switch you should be good to go.
