My physical network card, it's disconnected.

If I disconnect my physical network card, do the VMs that are inside the same vswitch still see each other?

I would be very grateful if you could help me with this doubt.

Regards

Can you illustrate with a screenshot from your environment to clarify?

Yes, they do, but both will have no outbound access.

Hi,

That is right, inside a same standard switch, although if you disconnect physical nw adapter,

internal vm's can see each other
