You don't need to assign IP addresses to the NICs itself. You assign an IP to the different types of interfaces you need, like for instance: management, vMotion, iSCSI etc.

You can create what VMware calls "portgroups" and set a VLAN ID on that level, if you then add VMs to that portgroup the traffic will be tagged with that VLAN. This is what is called "virtual switch tagging". Some documentation can be found here:
