vCenter appliance 6.5 with vDS question

I have a vCenter appliance 6.5 with vDS set up and total 9 ESXi hosts. I rebooted vCenter and two of the hosts lost ping for few seconds. It's no big deal, but very curious why only two ESXi hosts get that.

Any idea where to troubleshoot?

Thank you,

vcenter server reboot shouldn't affect esxi availability

Does this happen every time when you restart vcenter? Do you have lost pings when VC is up and runing?

The vCenter connected to 9 ESXi hosts. All of them are linked to vDS.

Last time I rebooted, I didn't get any alerts. This time, I rebooted, two of the ESXi send out ping failure alerts, but then come back up real quick. We are using Solarwind NTM to monitor our servers. It seems like a faults alarm to me, but just curious I might have overlooked some other settings.
